May Lunch Meeting

May 5 @ 11:30 am - 1:00 pm
$30.00

Traditional chilled water systems rely on control and balancing valves that complicate design, demand significant commissioning effort, and often underperform in the field. This session introduces a modern distributed pumping approach that replaces those valves with intelligent, demand‑driven pumps — simplifying design, reducing commissioning time, and improving energy performance.

What we’ll cover

  • Distributed pumping concepts and how they differ from traditional designs
  • Control strategies for demand‑driven pumping
  • Replacing control and balancing valves with intelligent pumps
  • Improving ΔT and reducing pump energy consumption
  • Real‑world results: streamlined commissioning and operation
