HYDRAULIC BALANCING Highest efficiency, maximum energy saving and comfort. Has your heating system been balanced? On its way to the radiators and back to the boiler, the hot water flow always chooses the path of least resistance. Due to this natural law, in heating systems without hydraulic balancing radiators further away from the pump are supplied with insufficient amounts of hot water while radiators close to the pump receive too much hot water. Typical countermeasures such as increased pump capacities or higher flow temperatures do not improve this situation, but rather amplify the negative...

Hydraulic balancing ensures optimum distribution of the water in the heating system. Based on the actual heat requirements of the building, the circulation pump, the control (flow temperature), the fittings and the valves are adjusted to change the volume flow in the pipes in such a way as to obtain the same flow resistance for all radiators. This forces the hot water to flow through the system exactly as required. The right method and suitable components allow for considerable savings. In individual cases, this may amount to as much as 15 % and more of the annual heating capacity. Copyright:...

Fast and easy hydraulic balancing Traditional hydraulic balancing often involves a lot of estimating and approximation since precise information on the pipe system is unavailable. This is particularly true of older systems where pipe lengths and cross sections may not be documented so that a decisive factor required for precise adjustment of the valves is missing. The patented Gampper valve range VarioQ uses a different approach for hydraulic balancing. The triple-stage system optimises the heating system on the basis of calculation, measurement and adjustment without additional adjustment valves...
