In hydronic proportional balancing, the key idea is to set circuit balancing devices so that (conceptual) what holds across parallel branches at design (or set) condition?
Choices
- (A) All branch DP equal to 0 in all nodes
- (B) Tower approach always 5F
- (C) Design flow share or ΔT/flow ratio in each path relative to the index run, to avoid starving distant terminals
- (D) NPSH of fan only
Correct answer: (C)
Design flow share or ΔT/flow ratio in each path relative to the index run, to avoid starving distant terminals
Explanation
GPM balance: set balancing valves+indexing paths.
