8.4 Setting the pump power
During the planning phase the system is designed for a certain duty point
(hydraulic peak load point for calculated maximum heating requirement). The
pump performance (delivery head) is set during commissioning according to the
duty point of the system (see also 4.3). The factory setting does not correspond
to the pump performance required for the system. It is determined by means of
the curve diagram for the selected pump type (from catalogue/data sheet). See
also figs. 6 to 8.
Heating systems 1. Two-pipe systems
•Pump installed in the supply pipe.
• Flow temperature controlled by
atmospheric conditions.
With increasing flow temperature the
flow rate will be increased.
2. Single-pipe sys
tems
•Pump installed in the return pipe.
•Constant flow temperature.
With increased return temperature
the flow rate will be lowered.
3.Primary circuits with condensing
boiler
•Pump installed in the return pipe.
With increased return temperature
the flow rate will be lowered.
