How to use How to use
The Flow THINKING is a concept especially developed for our partners in commercial building services
FLOW THINKING means: > Focusing on the customer > Embracing system knowledge > Being a competent partner & adviser > Finding the right solutions > Providing tools for your daily work
As an element of this concept we have developed The Gundfos System Guide
The Grundfos System Guide is an extensive reference book, which goes through the standard systems within:
heating air-conditioning pressure boosting wastewater
The systems are evaluated, and the Guide gives recommendations on how to prepare the most energy-optimal, reliable and comfortable system, considering the components, which form your system.
ContentsThe Guide contains a short review of a few theoretical areas within the mentioned systems. This is meant as a tool box, which can be used across of systems.
Overview: Here a short overview is given of the individual systems, and which Grundfos pumps are recom-mended for use in the system.
System description: In this paragraph the specific systems are reviewed in details. Suggestions are given of how to build up the system, so that the interaction between the components in the system is optimised with regard to comfort, safety and energy. Here we focus on how speed-regulated pumps are used in the systems.
How to select: Here it is shown how the pump/pump system is dimensioned and selected, provided the system is built up as described under system description.
A Guide not a collection of formulasThe System Guide is designed to be a practical tool for professionals, who already have the theoretical knowledge about systems. So the System Guide is not a completely slavish going through the structure of all systems, but it can with advantage be used as a source of inspiration or a checklist.
The System Guide has been designed in co-operation with system specialists from all over Europe. Even though many areas have been harmonized, there may still be examples of system constructions, which traditionally are not used locally
Always updatedGrundfos will in future continue to design and spread competences within systems. So regularly there will be supplements to the Grundfos System Guide.

Due to variation in the heat demand and the flow, we recommend to use speed controlled pumps in parallel as main pumps. Maximum 3 pumps plus 1 as standby pump. By speed controlling all the pumps it is possible to obtain the maximum energy saving.

It is important to check the efficiency at the duty point where the system has a high number of operating hours.
I
Using UPE and TPE Series 2000, no external pres-sure sensor and motor protection is necessary, only a PMU is needed for parallel operation. It is possible to have proportional pressure without a sensor placed in the system.For pumps above 22 kW both external sensor, motor protection and a pump control unit is necessary.

The primary task of the boiler shunt pump is to ensure that the temperature differences between top and bottom of the boiler are not too big, big temperature differences cause tension in the mate-rial and thus reduce the life of the boiler.For certain types of fuel there is a risk of corrosion at too low temperatures at the bottom of the boiler. Maximum safety is ensured when using a control-led pump, and the energy saving is optimal.

Often the pumps have high flow and low head, and then it is important to check the NPSH value of the pump.
I
TPE Series 1000: The pumps have an integrated frequency converter and a motor protection. A temperature transmitter with an output signal of 0/5-10V or 0/4-20 mA should be used. R100 remote control is used for start-up and later reading out of operating data.TP/NK: The mentioned pump types require an exter-nal frequency converter and an external regulator.

Due to variation in use and heat demand in differ-ent parts of the building, the system is divided into zones controlled by a mixing loop. The flow temperature will be lower than in the mains sup-ply, which will result in a higher flow in the zone than in the mains supply. This will help obtain a better hydraul-ic balance in the total system. Speed controlling the pump makes it possible to obtain the maximum energy saving.

When using a two-way valve, the pressure lost in the valve will be managed by the main pump. When using a three-way valve, the pump in the mixing loop also has to manage the pressure lost in the valve.

Using UPE and TPE Series 2000 there is no need for an external pressure sensor and a motor protection. It is possible to have proportional pressure without a sensor placed in the system.

A heating surface heats the air which through the ventilation system is blown into the building. The temperature in the heating surface depends on the outdoor temperature and is controlled by way of the ventilation systems control unit. The system has a constant flow and variable temperature, where it is important that the flow is correct. Normally the flow is adjusted by a regulating valve, it may also be an advantage to use an adjustable pump (E-pump).

The purpose of the system is to recover the heat of the outlet air. The primary task of the pump is to ensure an optimal flow between the heating surfaces. The pump/valve is controlled from the general control unit of the ventilation system. The saving potential of using a controlled pump in stead of a three-way valve to reach the correct temperature is very big.

The total efficiency of the system depends onwhether the circulated quantity of water is correct. If there is a risk of temperatures below 0C in the air intake of the system, the system must be applied with an antifreeze agent. If a 37% glocyl mixture is used, this will protect against frost down to 20C.
I
The pump is set at uncontrolled, and the signal from the central control unit is connected to the analog entry (0/5-10v or 0/4-20 mA). R100 remote control must be used in connection with setting up the pump.

The purpose of the system is domestic hot water heating. The function of the circulator pump is to ensure that hot water is always available as close to the tapping point as possible, in order to reduce waste of water and increase the comfort. In certain installations (loading circuits) the pump can at the same time ensure the circulation between the inverter and the storage tank.

Normally uncontrolled pumps are used, because usually the flow variation is only small. It may be advantageous to use controlled pumps for adjust-ment of the flow when starting up the system, though.In large systems it will also be an advantage to use a temperature controlled pump.
I
Because of the contents of gasses in water, it is important that this gas is not gathered in the pump, thus reducing the lifetime of the pump. Therefore it is always recommended to install the pump with upward flow direction, and minimum horizontal flow direction.

To make the system as flexible as possible, the heating and storage of the domestic hot water are divided into two units, one for heating and one for accumulation of the hot water. The construction of the systems among others depends on the kind of heat exchanger (charger) used. The pump is con-trolled by the temperature in the storage tank, either ON/OFF or variable speed.

If one pump is used for both accumulation and circulation, the minimum flow of the pump must be the same as the required flow for circulation.
I
If the pump is installed on the hot side of the exchanger, it must be ensured that the temperature does not exceed required max. temperature, as this may cause lime depositing in the pump. Because of the contents of gasses in water, it is important that this gas is not gathered in the pump, thus reducing the lifetime of the pump. Therefore it is always recommended to install the pump with upward flow direction, and minimum horizontal flow direction.

Calculate the flow required in the system: x 0.86 (tF-tR) = Heat demand in [kW] Q = Volume flow rate in [m3/h] tF = Dimensioning flow pipe temperature in [C] tR = Dimensioning return-pipe temperature in [C] 0.86 is the conversion factor (kcal/h to kW)
Calculate the heat required in the system:The value to the end farthest off or the high value of the system is the basis for pump dimensioning.

S 5:
Define number of pumps in the system
Systems with constant flow:Pumps in operation and stand-by pumps.When there is no variation in the flow, 1 pump in operation and 1 stand-by pump are probably the solution. Here, the efficiency in the duty point is very important.
Systems with variable flow:
Having variation, it can be profitable to choose more than 1 pump together with 1 stand-by pump. Here it is also important to check the efficiency in the duty point where there are a lot of operating hours.
S 6:
Where to place the transmitter:
Define where to place the differential pressure transmitter. For smaller systems it is possible to use pumps (pumps up to 7.5kW) with integrated transmitter and controller; the pressure loss compensation will be managed by the built-in controller.For larger systems the differential pressure trans-mitter can be placed either over the pump or at a critical point in the system.

C/:
The comparison of the two systems makes it clear that the large savings are gained by reduced flow. Already at a flow of 75% the savings are 29%. In addition to the energy saving there is also an in-crease in comfort, due to the reduced pressure and thereby reduced noise in the system valves.Depending on the energy price the pay-back time is very short for the extra costs of the speed controlled pump system. At a cost of 0.1 EURO per kWh, the pay-back time is approximately 1.1 years.

Due to higher density the power consumption P2 will increase from 675 W to 715 W (P1=890W). To prevent overload of the motor it is important to check the max. P2 value of the motor. In this case the value is 1100 W, which gives a good safety margin. A dry-runner has been selected to avoid problems with condensation in the motor, and the shaft seal is of the RUUE type due to the liquid with glycol.

Using a speed controlled pump, the total pressure loss in the system drops dramatically, and it is pos-sible to get a variable flow in the system depending on the actual situation. When the flow is readjusted the pump will follow the system characteristics giving high savings. On top of the energy savings there is also a saving in investment and installation costs, as there is no need for the motor valve and the by-pass.Depending on the energy price the pay-back time is very short for the extra costs of the speed controlled pump system. At a cost of 0.1 EURO per kWh the pay-back time is 1 year.

Application with one chiller.The chiller is fitted with temperature sensors which control the temperature difference depending on the cooling load. Care must be taken to ensure that there is no freezing up of the evaporator coils. Because of this, a constant water flow is required and usually a fixed speed pump is installed.Control is normally via a regulating valve, but it may be possible to use a variable speed pump which is controlled according to the start/stop sequence of the chiller.

2 chillers are connected in parallel, each having their own pump.The chillers have their own control systems and as there is a risk of ice forming inside the evaporators, a constant water flow is recommended.The chillers run in cascade with the pumps being controlled by a start/stop signal from the chillers. On start, pumps start before the chillers start. On stop, pumps stop just after the chillers stop. With fixed speed (uncontrolled) pumps there is a varia-tion of pressure in the circuit hence a flow varia-tion. See diagram Solution: Using variable speed pumps the pressure drops through the evaporators are controlled by differential pressure sensors. In order to keep this pressure constant, pump performances are controlled, the right flow attained and energy consumption minimized.

The chiller varies its performance according to the cooling demand of the system. The cooling tower has to be controlled, in order to keep a constant return water temperature for the condenser. Usually, the cooling tower water flow is controlled by a three-way valve. The condenser has a constant flow, normally adjusted by a regulating valve.As an alternative, we recommend control of cooling tower water flow by variable speed pumps. Pumps adapt their speed according to the return water temperature measured by the sensor. The complete system has a variable flow, and therefore maximum energy savings can be obtained.

Temperature sensor is placed on the return pipe. When using TPE Series 1000, no motor protection is necessary, but for bigger systems, a pump control unit must be added for parallel operation. For big-ger systems, motor protection and pump control unit are necessary.An open cooling tower must be located on the upper point of the circuit. This in order to obtain a sufficient inlet pressure to avoid cavitation in the pump.

Installation with 2 way valves.The demand for cooling varies greatly during the year. When the installation is equipped with two-way valves, the flow is variable. In this case we rec-ommend the use of variable speed pumps installed in parallel as main pumps. Using a PFU controller a maximum of 4 pumps can be controlled. By vary-ing the speed of all the pumps, maximum energy savings can be obtained.

It is important to check the efficiency at the duty point, where the system has a high number of operating hours.

Using TPE Series 2000, no external pressure sensor and motor protection is necessary, only a PMU is needed for parallel operation. It is possible to have proportional pressure without a sensor placed in the system.For bigger systems, both external sensor, motor protection and a pump control unit is necessary.

The demand for cooling varies greatly during the year. When the installation is equipped with three-way valves, the flow around the primary circuit is constant, with the flow to the room coolers being controlled by the three way valves. When the cool-ing demand is low, water coming from the chiller is by-passed and the return temperature is reduced.If the chiller is not controlled by this return tem-perature, we recommend the use of variable speed pumps mounted in parallel up to a maximum of 4 pumps.By controlling the speed of all the pumps, the return temperature is maintained, and maximum energy savings obtained.

A cooler battery cools the air, which is blown into the building through the air conditioning system. The temperature in the cooler battery is dependent on the outside temperature and is controlled via the air conditioning systems control unit.
