Energy Efficient Variable Flow Systems


The presentation will focus on the design and operation of variable flow systems. Emphasis will be placed on the following:- Variable flow system design considerations, Correct use & application of commissioning products, The application and positioning of differential pressure control valves (DPCV’s), The correct selection and operation of thermostatic radiator valves (TRV’s), The use of pressure independent control valves (PICV’s), The correct solutions for UFH systems, DB (Dynamic Balancing) Technology discussions, 2 Port control valve authority, How to improve system commission ability, How to reduce operational running costs, How to maximize capital cost savings, How to reduce back end commissioning time & costs.


Re Defining HIU & Heat Network Efficiencies


The presentation focuses on the design and operation of HIU systems. Emphasis will be placed on the following:- HIU selection, space HTG type, DHW sizing. Space HTG & DHW diversity considerations. Peak load calculations, plant sizing. Energy source reductions. Primary network temperature control & management. Secondary system balance & control. Heat network visibility, control and monitoring. Energy cost reductions and savings. HIUs: We are taking a closer look at how a Heat Interface Unit works, what to look for when choosing a HIU for your system and how to get the most out of your heat network.
