Similar to living things needing regular water balancing for their life cycles, HVAC systems also rely on maintenance and improvements for efficient operation and extended lifespan. In commercial facilities with centralized air conditioning, water plays a crucial role as a driving force for the HVAC system.
What is Water Balancing?
Minimum pump head energy, with chilled water passing through coils to provide better cooling comfort. The costs of such a design may be high, but because it provides long-term energy savings, it’s worth the investment to reduce unnecessary costs and labour for peace of mind. Testing and balancing is conducted on an hvac (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) system to ensure the installed system complies with the mechanical consultant’s design. A common design for centralised air conditioning systems in our region will cool the air via water coils, which cools the space more efficiently.
Pre-Inspection
Includes line walk on-site and refers to the latest mechanical drawings and design
Verify installed equipment
Verify installed valves
Clarify duty and standby pump status
Ensure coils are clean, as dirty coils prevent the system from cooling the air efficiently
Our Equipment
- Measures differential pressure across valves and water flow (USGM/L/s)
- Determines new valves turning
- Compares measured flow to design flow
- Locks valves upon completion
- Verfies jumper setting
- Clarifies pre-set position based on design flow
Our solution:
- Compensated Manual Balancing Method
The technician at the reference valve gives instruction to technician at the partner valve to open or close the system via 2-way radio to maintain design flow. Meanwhile, the 3rd technician moves through the branch to adjust coil flows
