Publisher's Synopsis
In HVAC systems, particularly in chilled water applications, various control valves and piping components play a critical role in ensuring efficiency, reliability, and performance. Proper selection and installation of these components help regulate temperature, maintain system balance, and optimize energy consumption.
Control valves manage the flow of chilled water to different parts of the system, ensuring precise temperature control and pressure regulation. The selection of the right valve type-such as two-way, three-way, or pressure-independent control valves-depends on system design and operational needs.
Beyond control valves, chilled water piping systems incorporate essential components like pumps, strainers, air separators, expansion tanks, and balancing valves. These elements help maintain system integrity, prevent issues like air entrapment and debris accumulation, and optimize overall performance.
This document provides an overview of key HVAC control valves and other essential chilled water piping items to aid in the selection, design, and maintenance of chilled water systems.
