Problem
The site required replacement of an HVAC circulation pump where low flow, vibration, or rising energy use affected building services.
Engineering Considerations
FlowCore would review flow, system head, pump curve, BEP, VFD control, balancing valves, noise, vibration, and service access.
- Chilled water duty
- Condenser water duty
- System head
- BEP operation
- Vibration control
Solution Approach
The correct replacement should match the system curve and operating schedule instead of duplicating a previously oversized pump.
Result and Lessons
HVAC pump replacement is an efficiency opportunity. Correct sizing can improve reliability and reduce long-hour operating cost.
