This course uses the BSRIA BG 30 Design Workflow for Water Distribution Systems as a framework for investigating hydronic systems, with a particular focus on correctly sizing pipework and pumps. The theory will see us go on a journey from the 1700s and Newtonian physics, through to the present day and the unanswered questions of fluid flow.

Attendees will leave with a practical understanding how to correctly design and commission the major components of a hydronic system.

They will build a basic calculator to assist with pipe-sizing decisions

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand the design process for piped systems.
  • Correctly size pipework and emitters
  • Deepen their understanding of the relationship between Pressure and Flow
  • Pump duties and basic pump selection
  • Recognise standard hydronic system configurations
  • Junior Engineers
  • Engineers whose first discipline is not Mechanical
  • Technical Sales specialists
  • Project manager's looking to deepen their understanding of piped systems
  • Mechanical Engineers looking for an in-depth refresh of piped systems
  • Contractors and Technical Services Managers wanting to improve their theoretical understanding
