Abstract

Centrifugal pumps provide the primary force to distribute and recirculate hot and chilled water in a variety of space conditioning systems. The pump provides a predetermined flow of water to the space load terminal units or to a thermal storage chamber for release at peak loads. The effect of centrifugal pump performance on the application, control, and operation of various terminal units is discussed in Chapter 12. Other hydronic systems that use pumps include: condensing water circuits to cooling towers (Chapter 13 and 36), water-source heat pumps (Chapter 8), boiler feeds, and condensate returns (Chapter 10).
