Centrifugal Pump Application and Selection

The design and operation of hydronic systems have changed drastically over the years. Depending on the application, the type and selection of the pump can have a significant impact on system efficiency, life cycle cost, and building comfort. In this presentation we will examine different pump types and review pump selection based on system type. Below is an outline for the presentation:

How to Pick a Pump

• Base mounted or in-line?
• Close, split, or flexibly coupled?
• Single or double suction impeller?
• Double suction: HSC or VSC or large inline?
• Internally or Externally Flushed Mechanical Seals?
• Pump RPM
• Radial forces
• Pump installation detail

Modern Pump Selection

• ASHRAE Selection Recommendations
• Pump Best Efficiency Point (BEP)
• System Curve
• Control Curve and Area
• Part Load Efficiency Valves (PLEV)
• Efficiency Islands and Load Profile

The instructor will be Kyle DelPiano, VP of Marketing of Boone and Boone Sales. There is no charge for the presentation or luncheon. A certificate of attendance for two (2) PE PDH credits will be provided.
