Grundfos Distributed Pumping Systems | Eliminate 55% of Pumping Energy
Grundfos Distributed Pumping enables high-performance buildings to eliminate 55% of their pumping energy. Accurately controlled cooling systems are crucial to maintaining an efficient, comfortable building. However, this accuracy can be difficult to achieve with standard valve-based chilled water systems. These traditional systems face challenges with balancing and poor dynamic flow regulation, which leads to severe energy loss, inadequate climate control, and uncomfortable occupants. Simply explained, Distributed Pumping removes flow restriction devices such as control valves and balancing valves and replaces them with flow initiating devices such as a Grundfos Smart Pump.
Traditional HVAC pump systems do not allow for sensitive control. They take little account of building occupancy levels and cannot manage air conditioning in different zones. Levels are the same for everyone unless there is direct intervention.
With distributed pumping, there are no valves that need to be individually adjusted and no need to carefully make changes to how the system is balanced. These are replaced with decentralized pumps that can easily be throttled to provide optimum comfort across the network and to reflect how the building is being used.
Instant adaptation to user needs and perfect balancing. Distributed pumping is the answer to improved comfort – and HVAC energy saving.
