Differential Pressure Setpoint HWS/R
Differential Pressure Setpoint HWS/R
(OP)
For a boiler plant with a BMS controlled differential bypass valve at the end of the loop and a Differential pressure sensor across the supply and return before the control valve. The loop consists of baseboard radiation with control valves on the return, fan coil units with a hot water coil and the pumps on the system have VFD's. How are the pumps controled? How do you obtain a differential pressure setpoint in the field and calculate one? The minimum flow through the boiler is 25 GPM the Differential bypass piping is 1-1/2" copper. Hopefully somebody can help.





RE: Differential Pressure Setpoint HWS/R
Easiest way to control minimum flow is to install a flow meter at the boiler and a bypass valve controlled by the flow meter to maintain the minimum 25 gpm.
Have a look at the following article:

Now put all of the valves back to auto and everything should take off. You should be able to see the changes in the system.
Any more questions, just let me know.
