Pressurisation & Boosting Selection

Armstrong - Pressurisation Unit & Expansion Vessel Selection

In order to correctly size pressurisation equipment in LTHW and Chilled Water Sealed Systems it is necessary to establish certain information. The answers to the questions below will ensure that the correct unit is selected when using Armstrong PC selection program, (copies available on request), or when requesting selection by the sales department. The information required is as follows:-

1 Where will the pressurisation unit and expansion vessels be installed? Will the location be a basement, or roof-top plantroom, or somewhere else?

2 Is there a suitable water supply at this point?

3 What is the static head at the pressurisation unit? i.e. What is the height from the pressurisation unit to the topmost radiator or service point above it?

4 What is the boiler/chiller rating?

5 What are the flow and return temperatures?

6 What is the total water content of the system?

7 What size of pipe is being used and therefore what size of air separator is required?

8 What is the proposed position of the circulating pump in relation to the boiler/chiller?

9 What is the duty of the circulating pump?

10 What is the maximum allowable pressure, (pressure at which the safety valve starts to open)?

11 What is the percentage of antifreeze to system volume?

Methods of Supplying the Maximum Probable Simultaneous Demand (MPSD) with a Booster Set

In the majority of applications a booster unit must provide for the MPSD. Since this is not normally a continuous requirement, the following methods of sharing the demand may be considered:-

1 Where the flow rate requirement is small, a two pump unit can have each pump sized to cater for 100% of the MPSD, one pump acting as the duty pump, the other as standby.

2 Alternatively, the two pumps can each be sized to handle 60% of the MPSD, where the second pump is switched in to cater for the occasions when peak demand occurs.

3 Where the flow requirement is high, it is more economical to select a three-pump unit such that the duty of each pump is 50% of the MPSD. Here the pumps function respectively as duty, support and standby.

A jockey pump with a small capacity can also be added to any of the above arrangements, which will save energy during low demand periods. Alternatively, a larger pressure vessel can be supplied to cater for long periods of low demand, from small draw-off points on the rising main, e.g. vending machines.
