Since impellers of more than one diameter can usually be fitted ina given pump casing, pump curves, show the performance of a given pump with impellers of various diam- eters. Often, a complete line of pumps cf one design is available and a plot called a composite or quick selection curve can be used, to give a complete picture of the available head and flow for a given pump line (Fig. 1-3). Such charts normally give flow, head and pump size only, and the specific per- formance curve must then be referred to for impeller diameter, efficiency, and ‘ther detail. For most applications in ‘our industry, pup curves are based ‘on clear water with a specific gravity of 10, Part Il The System Curve Understanding a system curve, some- times called a system head curve, is important because conditions in larger, more complex piping systems vary as a result of either controllable uncontrollable changes. A pump can ‘operate at any point of rating on its performance curve, depending on the actual total head ofa particular system, Partially closing a valve in the pump discharge or changing the size or length of pipes are changes in system conditions that will ater the shape of a system curve and, in tun, affect pump: flow. Each pump model has @ definite capacity curve for a given impeller diameter and speed. Developing a system curve provides the means to determine at what point on that curve ‘2 pump will operate when used in a particular piping system, Fig 1-2 Fig 1-3&® Applications Page 6 Pines, valves and fitings create resistance to flow or friction head. Developing the data to plot a system curve fora closed Hydronic system Under pressure requires calculation of ‘the total ofthese friction head losses, Friction tables are weacily available that provide fiction loss data for pipe, valves and fitings. These tables usu- ally express the losses in terms of the equivalent length of straight pipe of the same size asthe valve or fitting. Once the total system friction Is determined, a plot can be made because this fric- tion varies roughly as the square of ‘the liquid flow in the system. This plot represents the SYSTEM CURVE, By lays ing the system curve over the puro performance curve, the pump flow can bbe determined (Fig. 2-1), Care must be taken that both pump head and fiction are expressed in feet and that both are plotted on the same ‘graph. The system curve will intersect the pump performance curve at the flow rate of the pump because this is the point at which the pump head is equal to the required system head for the same flow, Fig. 2-2 ilustrates the use ofa discharge valve to change the system head to vary pump flow. Partially closing the valve shifts the operating point to a higher head or lower flow capacity ‘Opening the valve has the opposite effect. Working the system curve against the pump performance curve {for diferent total resistance possibilties provides the system designer impor- tant information with which to make pump and motor selection decisions for each system. A system curve is also an effective tool in analyzing system performance problems and choosing aporopriate corrective action, Inan open Hiyeronic system, it may be necessary to add head to raise the liq Lid from a lower level to a higher level Called static or elevation head, this amount is added to the friction head to determine the total system head cune. Fig. 2-3 ilustrates a system curve developed by adding static head to the friction head resistance.page?

Unilke reverse return systems, LoadMatch Page 8 provides highly efficient BTU transport between the generators and the heating or cooling terminal units Secondary Greuator “Terminal UntPage 9 Applications iy Managing Temperature For design engineers the most cited concern about LoadMatch systems that arises is the temperature cascade of the system. Because the water tem- perature in the loop changes, it would appear that the terminal units at the end of the loop are not going to be able to provide the necessary BTUs for the heating or cooling loads. So they ask "n a cooling system, how is your system able to provide the same capacity, including dehumicification, at the end of the loop experiencing 50" F ‘entering water when other units at the start of the loop are experiencing 40°F centering water? This a legitimate question ‘An examination of basic heat transfer fundamentals will provide the answer. Consider the single dimensional steady state heat transfer form of the Navier- ‘Stokes equation, shown below. Q=UxAxar Where ‘AQ isthe heat transfer rate, isthe heat transfer coefficient, Ais the surface area, ATs the temperature difference Let's take a room that we want to maintain at 70°F ‘eeginning of the loop we have a 40" F water supply, so the AT between the water supply and the room is a 30" F cifference (70°F - 40°F). However, at the end of the loop the water is 2 50" F, so now the AT is 20" F (70'F -50°R, In order to maintain the heat transfer ofa terminal unit at constant capacity with a decreased Al, either the heat transfer coefficient or U value, or area ‘Aor combination of both, has to be Increased Ifthe room is at the The heat transfer coefficient or U value Ina typical terminal units a function of fluid velocity, and the area Ais a func- tion of rows. The answer les in increas- Ing the flow rate through the heat exchanger or in adding more rows, cor a combination of both, in order to compensate for the decreased AT. Following is an example of applying this simple concept to a typical fan coll unit (See Figure #3-4) [As the above graph shows, the sensible and latent capacity of the terminal unit can be achieved in several ways by varying combinations of increased heat transfer coefficient or U value (velocity) or area A (number of rows} [tthe beginning of the loop ~ shown by the point atthe left of the graph = at 40°F entering water utilizing a2 row coll at 1 gpm, yields a given sensible and latent capacity. At the end of the loop - as shown by the point at the middle of the graph, we can achieve the same sensible and latent ‘capacity (50°F entering water temperature) by increasing the U value or velocity (50°F entering water temperature, 2 rows and 2.2 gpm), {As an alternative - shown by the point atthe right of the graph - we ‘can achieve the same capacity by increasing the area or number of rows (50°F entering water temperature, 3 roms, and 15 gpm) Fig 3-4 Fan Coil Cooling Capacity Sensible Capacity Latent Capacity (MBH) Capacity a 40/2/ 1 50/2/22 50/3/15 EWT (Dec. F) / Rows (#) / Fiow (GPM)&® Applications Page 10 This is possible because the dew point of the airstream on the coil at ASHRAE room Comfort Zone condi- tions of 75°F and 6096 RH has a dew= point of 60°F Therefore an entering chilled water temperature of 50°F is certainly capable of dehumidlfying this alr stream, Despite concetns about the tempera~ ture cascade in a LoadMatch cooling system, the use of basic princioles of thermodynamics and psychromet- rics, a8 described above, will result in comfortable room conditions, including dehumidification, in very humid climates. Tacos Hydronic System Solutions software is now available that will calculate the temperature cascade automatically and provide a flow dia- {gram printout of the entering water temperature at every terminal unit in the system. Using the flow diagram temperature cascade information, the ‘engineer selects the terminal unit for the correct cascaded entering water temperature at each terminal unit Another approach to selecting all the terminal units at different entering water temperatures isto select the terminal units at the same entering water temperature, Atecommendation is t0 use a worst case entering water temperature, taking into account the diversity of the system, Diversity is typically defined as the actual load divided by the design load. For our 10° F design AT example, and assuming a 70 percent diversity factor, one can select allthe units at 47°F entering water temperature (47"F +07 x 10), Therefore, using this method, the process to select terminal Units fora single pipe system is no i ferent than selecting terminal units for 2 two pipe system, A second concern about the tempera ture cascade that should be addressed here is a common misconception that the use of multiple terminal units on a loop adversely affects the temperature cascade, ‘Again, an examination of basic heat transfer fundamentals will provide the answer. ‘Take the steady state mass transfer equation, shown below: AQ=Mxcpx at Where: AQiis the heat transfer rate Mis the mass transfer rate pis the specific heat AT is the temperature difference In any loop the mass flow rate iM) is a function of the total load of all the terminal units, divided by the specific heat and the design AT for the system Because the AI's are determined by the design, and not by the number ‘of terminal units, the flow will always increase to match the load. Therefore the last terminal unit on a loop will never experience mote than the design a, Interestingly, the more terminal units ‘on a loop the better the temperature ‘cascade willbe at the last terminal unit. This concept is admittedly coun- terintuitive, but isthe result of the diversity in the system. With more terminal units, there will be more diversity, and a better entering water temperature at the last terminal unit.ag th Applications iy Variable Speed drive The drive is available in a Variable ‘The Variable Voltage (VV) version LoadMatch’ circulators are available Speed Setpoint (VS) or Variable Speed can be set up to operate the circula- ‘with an optional variable speed drive Variable Voltage (VV} configuration. _tor atciferent speeds based on an to satisy a variety of applications. externally generated analog signal ‘The drive is integral to the circulator The Variable Speed Setpoint (VS) input Its reliable operation, ease of inan alhin-one package. version can be set up to deliver a fixed installation and integration to DOC or temperature, maintain a specific tem- Building Management Systems allows ‘perature drop between sensor loca: for a wide variety of HVAC applic tions (207, used as a bypass /shunt tions, such as maintaining a room pump @ Integrated into a fan coil temperature or humidity setpoint. package to vary the speed of The control accepts 2 0-10 Vide), the pump based on supply air 0-20 mA, 2-10 Vide), or 420mA signal temperature.

This is because the sensible heat ratio of a load in a humid climate (07 to 0.75) \s lower than the sensible heat ratio of a typical cooling coll (08 to 085), Therefore, to adequately dehumiciy, the air conditioning unit must remain fon.
