Hot and cold water pumps

Hot and cold water pumps

(OP)
If in a 4-pipe system a chiller and a boiler are in close proximity and pressure drops through the boiler and the chiller are pretty close, will the head for both chilled and heating water pumps be the same?

RE: Hot and cold water pumps

Pretty close.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

RE: Hot and cold water pumps

It really depends upon system piping and terminal unit pressure drops.

RE: Hot and cold water pumps

head will be the one you calculate hourglass, proximity of chiller to boiler has nothing to do with pipe diameters you select yourself, which ultimately results in final head. pipe networks are separated so there is no any inter-influence on such decisions. the only "driving force" is sizing method you choose - velocity, equal friction.

RE: Hot and cold water pumps

But what is the question?
