Lecture Objectives: Learn about Pumps and System Curves
2
Hydronic Terms Head loss Open-loop vs. closed loop Open System Closed System Pump h Cooling coil in AHU Chiller Pump
3
Is this open or closed system ? Cooling towers
4
Relationship between velocity in a pipe and pressure drop Δp ~ v 2 Δp = Constant × v 2 Δp [Pa or ft water ] v [m/s or fpm] larger pipe smaller pipe Required power (P) for the pump P = V × Δp P –power [W], V –volume flow rate [m 3 /s], v – velocity [m/s] Δp – pressure drop [Pa] Δp ~ v 2 (Δp ~ V 2 – when same pipe is used ) P ~ V × V 2 – when same pipe is used P ~ V 3 P 2 /P 1 = (V 2 /V 1 ) 3 For the same pipe When different pipe is used for the same flow rate: For the same flow rate V Reduction of D: D1D1 D 2 = D 1 /2 A 1 V 1 P 1 A 2 =1/2 2 A 1 V 2 =2 2 V 1 P 2 /P 1 = (D 1 /D 2 ) 4 - for the same flow rate or 50% smaller diameter of the pipe for the same flow rate wee have: 4 times larger velocity 16 times larger pressure drop and 16 times lager power for the pump
5
Head Loss
6
Fittings
7
Pumps Raise pressure and produce flow Main type Centrifugal Inline Base mounted Example of Turbine pump Reading (textbook) Page 3-36 - 3-45
8
Pump curves NPSHR = Net Positive Suction Head Required
10
Changing Pump Speed
11
Net Positive Suction Head (cavitation)
12
Curve for Multiple Pumps
13
System Curves A B ∆p V A+B Parallel A B A B ∆p V A+B A B Serial
14
Find a system curve for this plumbing configuration
15
Primary/Secondary and Tertiary Pumping (schematics A&B below)
16
System balancing BOILER HC2 AHU1 AHU2 HC1 pump 100 ft 1000 ft 2 gpm 10 gpm 10 ft
17
Valves Section 5-14 and 6-15 in the textbook Types Butterfly Valves Ball Valves Globe Valves Three way valves
