Hydronic System Basics
• Could it really be this simple?• What about different system types?• What about multiple zones?
• Let’s start with how to size a pump.
Hydronic System Basics
• To size a pump you need to know required flow rate for the system and piping pressure drop.
• Flow rate is based on amount of heat to be transferred.• BTUh = 500 x ΔT x GPM• ΔT is the temperature drop desired in the system.• BTUh is the amount of heat to be transferred.
• Pressure drop is based on the flow rate through a given piping system.

Hydronic System BasicsLet’s design a simple system together!
Rule of Thumb…Length x 1.5 to account for elbows and fittings.
2.94’ per 100’ of piping
100’ x 1.5 = 150’
1.5 x 2.94’ = 4.41’ TDH

Primary – Secondary Piping
• Primary – Secondary Pumping: Was developed by Bell & Gossett in 1954 as a method to increase system temperature drops, decrease total pump Horse Power and increase system controllability. Systems utilizing low or medium temperatures were allowed due to Primary – Secondary pumping. Most modern systems utilize some variation of Primary – Secondary pumps.
Primary – Secondary Piping
• “Common Piping” interconnects the Primary to the Secondary Circuit
• “Common Piping” should have minimal to no pressure drop to be designed correctly
• Hydraulically disconnects the two piping loops• Flow in one loop will not cause flow in the other loop

• Secondary pipe pump sized for pressure drops A-B, B-C, C-D, D-E, E-G, G-H, H-I
• I-A should have no pressure drop.

Variable Flow / Variable Speed
Variable Flow Systems• Constant Speed / Variable Volume
• Utilizes 2-way valves• Pump Energy is reduced
• Variable Speed / Variable Volume• Utilizes 2-way valves• Pump Energy is reduced• Uses VFDs to reduce pump speed

Variable Flow Systems
• Variable Speed gives reduced HP• Variable Speed allows for easy pump balancing• Variable Speed also acts as a soft starter• Variable Speed drives are getting less costly• Variable Speed is not a mystery anymore

Tenant Use Pumps
Tenant Use Pumps Must be with the rest of the condenser water pumping system in mind. Never size a tenant use system, for only the tenant loop pressure drop.

Conclusions• Hydronic Systems require a lot of considerations.• Primary – Secondary is only one of many ways to
design, but is still a widely used design strategy.• Variable – Primary systems can work, but need
special considerations to prevent equipment problems.
• Variable Flow / Variable Speed systems have become the standard, but also require special considerations.
• System piping must be designed to satisfy the requirements of the building and installed equipment. No “One-Size-Fits-All” Solution.
