The Flow THINKING is a concept especially developed for our partners in
commercial building services
FLOW THINKING means:
> Focusing on the customer
> Embracing system knowledge
> Being a competent partner & adviser
> Finding the right solutions
> Providing tools for your daily work
As an element of this concept we have developed The Gundfos System Guide
The Grundfos System Guide is an extensive reference book, which goes through the standard systems within:
heating
air-conditioning
pressure boosting
wastewater
The systems are evaluated, and the Guide gives recommendations on how to prepare the most energy-
optimal, reliable and comfortable system, considering the components, which form your system.
Contents
The Guide contains a short review of a few theoretical areas within the mentioned systems. This is meant as a
tool box, which can be used across of systems.
Overview: Here a short overview is given of the individual systems, and which Grundfos pumps are recom-
mended for use in the system.
System description: In this paragraph the specific systems are reviewed in details. Suggestions are given of
how to build up the system, so that the interaction between the components in the system is optimised
with regard to comfort, safety and energy. Here we focus on how speed-regulated pumps are used in the
systems.
How to select: Here it is shown how the pump/pump system is dimensioned and selected, provided the
system is built up as described under system description.
A Guide not a collection of formulas
The System Guide is designed to be a practical tool for professionals, who already have the theoretical
knowledge about systems. So the System Guide is not a completely slavish going through the structure of all
systems, but it can with advantage be used as a source of inspiration or a checklist.
The System Guide has been designed in co-operation with system specialists from all over Europe. Even
though many areas have been harmonized, there may still be examples of system constructions, which
traditionally are not used locally
Always updated
Grundfos will in future continue to design and spread competences within systems. So regularly there will be
supplements to the Grundfos System Guide.

Due to variation in the heat demand and the flow,
we recommend to use speed controlled pumps in
parallel as main pumps. Maximum 3 pumps plus
1 as standby pump. By speed controlling all the
pumps it is possible to obtain the maximum energy
saving.

It is important to check the efficiency at the duty
point where the system has a high number of
operating hours.
INstnttntoN
Using UPE and TPE Series 2000, no external pres-
sure sensor and motor protection is necessary, only
a PMU is needed for parallel operation.
It is possible to have proportional pressure without
a sensor placed in the system.
For pumps above 7.5 kW both external sensor,
motor protection and a pump control unit is neces-
sary.

The primary task of the boiler shunt pump is to
ensure that the temperature differences between
top and bottom of the boiler are not too big, big
temperature differences cause tension in the mate-
rial and thus reduce the life of the boiler.
For certain types of fuel there is a risk of corrosion
at too low temperatures at the bottom of the boiler.
Maximum safety is ensured when using a control-
led pump, and the energy saving is optimal.

Often the pumps have high flow and low head,
and then it is important to check the NPSH value
of the pump.
INstnttntoN
TPE/LME/LPE/CLME: The pumps have an integrated
frequency converter and a motor protection.
A temperature transmitter with an output signal of
0/5-10V or 0/4-20 mA should be used. R100 remote
control is used for start-up and later reading out of
operating data.
LM/LP/CLM/NK: The mentioned pump types require
an external frequency converter and an external
regulator.

Due to variation in use and heat demand in differ-
ent parts of the building, the system is divided
into zones controlled by a mixing loop. The flow
temperature will be lower than in the mains sup-
ply, which will result in a higher flow in the zone
than in the mains supply. This will help obtain a
better hydraul-ic balance in the total system. Speed
controlling the pump makes it possible to obtain
the maximum energy saving.

When using a two-way valve, the pressure lost in
the valve will be managed by the main pump. When
using a three-way valve, the pump in the mixing
loop also has to manage the pressure lost in the
valve.

A heating surface heats the air which through the
ventilation system is blown into the building. The
temperature in the heating surface depends on the
outdoor temperature and is controlled by way of the
ventilation systems control unit. The system has a
constant flow and variable temperature, where it
is important that the flow is correct. Normally the
flow is adjusted by a regulating valve, it may also be
an advantage to use an adjustable pump (E-pump).

The purpose of the system is to recover the heat
of the outlet air. The primary task of the pump
is to ensure an optimal flow between the heating
surfaces. The pump/valve is controlled from the
general control unit of the ventilation system. The
saving potential of using a controlled pump in
stead of a three-way valve to reach the correct
temperature is very big.

The total efficiency of the system depends on
whether the circulated quantity of water is correct.
If there is a risk of temperatures below 0C in the air
intake of the system, the system must be applied
with an antifreeze agent. If a 37% glocyl mixture is
used, this will protect against frost down to 20C.
INstnttntoN
The pump is set at uncontrolled, and the signal
from the central control unit is connected to the
analog entry (0/5-10v or 0/4-20 mA).
R100 remote control must be used in connection
with setting up the pump.

The purpose of the system is domestic hot water
heating. The function of the circulator pump is to
ensure that hot water is always available as close
to the tapping point as possible, in order to reduce
waste of water and increase the comfort. In certain
installations (loading circuits) the pump can at
the same time ensure the circulation between the
inverter and the storage tank.

Normally uncontrolled pumps are used, because
usually the flow variation is only small. It may be
advantageous to use controlled pumps for adjust-
ment of the flow when starting up the system,
though.
In large systems it will also be an advantage to use
a temperature controlled pump.
INstnttntoN
Because of the contents of gasses in water, it is
important that this gas is not gathered in the pump,
thus reducing the lifetime of the pump. Therefore
it is always recommended to install the pump with
upward flow direction, and minimum horizontal
flow direction.

To make the system as flexible as possible, the
heating and storage of the domestic hot water are
divided into two units, one for heating and one for
accumulation of the hot water. The construction
of the systems among others depends on the kind
of heat exchanger (charger) used. The pump is con-
trolled by the temperature in the storage tank,
either ON/OFF or variable speed.

If one pump is used for both accumulation and
circulation, the minimum flow of the pump must be
the same as the required flow for circulation.
INstnttntoN
If the pump is installed on the hot side of the
exchanger, it must be ensured that the temperature
does not exceed required max. temperature, as this
may cause lime depositing in the pump.
Because of the contents of gasses in water, it is
important that this gas is not gathered in the pump,
thus reducing the lifetime of the pump. Therefore

Define number of pumps in the system
Systems with constant flow:
Pumps in operation and stand-by pumps.
When there is no variation in the flow, 1 pump in
operation and 1 stand-by pump are probably the
solution. Here, the efficiency in the duty point is
very important.
Systems with variable flow:
Having variation, it can be profitable to choose
more than 1 pump together with 1 stand-by pump.
Here it is also important to check the efficiency in
the duty point where there are a lot of operating
hours.
5trr 6:
Where to place the transmitter:
Define where to place the differential pressure
transmitter.
For smaller systems it is possible to use pumps
(pumps up to 7.5kW) with integrated transmitter
and controller; the pressure loss compensation will
be managed by the built-in controller.
For larger systems the differential pressure trans-
mitter can be placed either over the pump or at a
critical point in the system.

ComrnesoNJsrNrrt:
The comparison of the two systems makes it clear
that the large savings are gained by reduced flow.
Already at a flow of 75% the savings are 29%. In
addition to the energy saving there is also an in-
crease in comfort, due to the reduced pressure and
thereby reduced noise in the system valves.
Depending on the energy price the pay-back time is
very short for the extra costs of the speed controlled
pump system.
At a cost of 0.1 EURO per kWh, the pay-back time is
approximately 1.1 years.

Using a speed controlled pump, the total pressure
loss in the system drops dramatically, and it is pos-
sible to get a variable flow in the system depending
on the actual situation. When the flow is readjusted
the pump will follow the system characteristics
giving high savings. On top of the energy savings
there is also a saving in investment and installation
costs, as there is no need for the motor valve and
the by-pass.
Depending on the energy price the pay-back time is
very short for the extra costs of the speed controlled
pump system. At a cost of 0.1 EURO per kWh the
pay-back time is 1 year.

Application with one chiller.
The chiller is fitted with temperature sensors which
control the temperature difference depending on
the cooling load. Care must be taken to ensure
that there is no freezing up of the evaporator coils.
Because of this, a constant water flow is required
and usually a fixed speed pump is installed.
Control is normally via a regulating valve, but it may
be possible to use a variable speed pump which is
controlled according to the start/stop sequence of
the chiller.

2 chillers are connected in parallel, each having
their own pump.
The chillers have their own control systems and as
there is a risk of ice forming inside the evaporators,
a constant water flow is recommended.
The chillers run in cascade with the pumps being
controlled by a start/stop signal from the chillers.
On start, pumps start before the chillers start.
On stop, pumps stop just after the chillers stop.
With fixed speed (uncontrolled) pumps there is a
variation of pressure in the circuit hence a flow
variation.
See diagram Solution: Using variable speed pumps
the pressure drops through the evaporators are
controlled by differential pressure sensors. In order
to keep this pressure constant, pump performances
are controlled, the right flow attained and energy
consumption minimized.

The chiller varies its performance according to the
cooling demand of the system. The cooling tower
has to be controlled, in order to keep a constant
return water temperature for the condenser.
Usually, the cooling tower water flow is controlled
by a three-way valve. The condenser has a constant
flow, normally adjusted by a regulating valve.
As an alternative, we recommend control of cooling
tower water flow by variable speed pumps. Pumps
adapt their speed according to the return water
temperature measured by the sensor. The complete
system has a variable flow, and therefore maximum
energy savings can be obtained.

When using TPE, LME, LPE or CLME, no motor

An open cooling tower must be located on the
upper point of the circuit. This in order to obtain a
sufficient inlet pressure to avoid cavitation in the

The demand for cooling varies greatly during the
year. When the installation is equipped with two-
way valves, the flow is variable. In this case
we recommend the use of variable speed pumps
installed in parallel as main pumps. Using a PFU
controller a maximum of 4 pumps can be controlled.
By varying the speed of all the pumps, maximum

The demand for cooling varies greatly during the
year. When the installation is equipped with three-
way valves, the flow around the primary circuit
is constant, with the flow to the room coolers
being controlled by the three way valves. When
the cooling demand is low, water coming from the
chiller is by-passed and the return temperature is
reduced.
If the chiller is not controlled by this return
temperature, we recommend the use of variable
speed pumps mounted in parallel up to a maximum
of 4 pumps.
By controlling the speed of all the pumps, the return
temperature is maintained, and maximum energy
savings obtained.

The temperature in the cooler battery is dependent
on the outside temperature and is controlled via
the air conditioning systems control unit. To ensure
a good heat transmission coefficient, the system
requires a constant flow.
The cooler battery output is controlled by a

Due to the risk of condensation, the flow temperature
through a chilled beam/floor network must be higher
than the temperature in the pipework from the chiller.
A mixing circuit equipped with either two-way or
three-way valves controls this temperature.
Due to variation in use and cooling demand in
different parts of the building, the cooling duty of the
chilled beam / floor network is controlled by two-way
valves via a room control unit. By varying the speed

Energy saving of system 3 compared to system 1:
(6,446-2,733) = 3,713 kWh = 58%

Components saving: Adjustment valve + two-way
valves in stead of expensive three-way valves.
(4,678-2,733) = 1,945 kWh = 42%
Components saving: Adjustment valve + pressure
relief valve (to maintain a constant pressure and
also avoid noise in valves and negative influences

Depending on the energy price, there is a very
short pay-back time on the extra cost of installing a
speed-controlled pump system.

The water supply to a building have to be reliable
and comfortable. To fulfil this requirement a pres-
sure boosting system is very recommendable. A
complete pressure boosting system will automati-
cally compensate for the variations in the pre pres-
sure from the water mains and the variations in
consumption and by varying performance ensure
that the supply pressure to the building is constant.
We recommend the speed controlled Hydro 2000
ME pressure boosting systems, which can give a
constant pressure to the building and at the same
time ensures optimum operation costs and supply
security.
If system cost is very important, the lower cost
systems Hydro 1000 can be selected.
If standby pump capacity is not required, the Hydro
2000 Solo E solution can be recommended.

Use the Consumption Profile as the basis for select-
ing the optimum system. The number of pumps
and the size of these shall fit to profile. Use the
Grundfos pump selection tool WinCAPS for selec-
tion of the right system.
1nNk omrNsoNNc
Hydro 1000 and Hydro 2000 MS systems are operat-
ing as on/off systems without any speed control.
Therefore these systems always requires a pressure
tank on the discharge side of the booster.
For other systems like Hydro 2000 ME and Hydro
2000 MF a pressure tank is recommended if the
flow can go down to, or close to zero. In these cases
a small diaphragm tank will give the system a must
better performance.
The dimensioning of the tank can be seen from the
table. The tank volume is in litre and is depending
of the size of the pumps going into the booster. If
the booster as an example is a Hydro 2000 ME
3xCRE8-60, the nominal flow of one of the pumps
are 8 m
3
/h resulting in a 24 litre tank.
Hydro 2000 ME Solo E are delivered with a tank
as standard.
INstnttntoN
Grundfos pressure boosting systems are easy to
install. Connect the unit to mains supply and the
piping, prime the system and we are ready to go.
It is recommendable to install a water shortage
detection on the suction side the booster. By direct
boosting systems a pressure switch can be used
in case of a break tank system, a level switch in the
tank will be the best solution.

The required total consumption and
maximum flow requirement depends
on the application in question.
There is a big difference in the require-
ment from e.g. a pressure boosting
system in a block of flats compared to
a system in a hotel. The table below

The consumption profile is the information about
the change in flow during one day or season. In a
hotel the water demand will fluctuate a lot during
the day.
In the morning, where most of the guest are taking
a shower and all the service facilities, such as clean-
ing, cocking and washing starts up, we will have the
highest demand for water supply during the day.
Also about dinner time we will see a peak in the
demand. A typical consumption file for the hotel
example above, looks like this:
The consumption profile is imported information
in the selection process as the profile has a high
influence of the choice of booster system type and
the number of pumps which the system consists
of. See step 5.
Based on the consumption profile a Load Profile can
be made. From this we can see how many hours per
day a certain flow is required.

The system layout have to be considered before the
booster system can be selected.
Direct boosting or break tank
The connection to the water supply mains can
either be directly or via a break tank. If direct con-
nection is allow this will be recommendable.
The pressure requirement to a pressure boosting
system with direct connection will be be less than
systems with break tank, as the system then can use
the water supply mains pressure as a pre-pressure.
Depending of area the water supply mains pressure
typically will be in the range 1.5 4.0 bar.
Break tanks are often required in areas where:
the piping in the mains are week and cant
stand pressure surges caused by pumps star-
ting and stopping.
local requirements
where sucking from the water mains isnt
allowed
Roof tank systems
In some areas roof tank systems are required. The
reason is to ensure water supply for a certain period
also if the elctrical power supply disappears.
The transfer pump can pump from a break tank or
direct from supply mains.
Water supply (pressure) to the building is obtained
by a Booster System, boosting down to the 3-4
upper floors. The rest of the building is supplied
by gravity.

Zones
In high rise buildings is it necessary to split the
water supply system up in zones to ensure:
that the pressure from one floor to an other
doesnt vary too much.
Min. pressure upper floor in each zone should
not be lower than 1.5-2 bar
Max. pressure in lowest floor in each zone
should not be higher than 4-4.5 bar
System layout can be with :
1. All booster systems in basement.
Boosting up in the building (see figure).
2. Cascade booster system layout.
One booster in the basement supplies all the
water up to zone 1, where a second booster
will boost up to zone 2, etc.
3. In combination with roof tank.
A booster on the roof top are boosting
down to the 3-4 upper floors. The rest of
the building is supplied by gravity.

Why choose a pressure boosting system?
There are three main reasons why a customer
should choose a booster system instead of just a
single pump in his installation:
1. One pump is not sufficient to cover the flow
demand.
2. Reserve pump capacity is required.
3. Better adaptability to variations in
consumption.
Which type of booster system is preferable?
Grundfos offers five different main variants within
the Hydro 2000 product family. The different sys-
tems and there main features can be seen from the
below table.
For most applications we will recommend the speed
controlled solution based on the Grundfos CRE-
pumps.
How to select
ME system
All pumps are CRE-pumps
Constant pressure.
Speed control available also if one
pump fails.
MEH Z system
Two pumps are CRE-pumps.
Remaining pumps are fixed
speed CR-pumps.
Constant pressure.
If one CRE-pump fails the pressure
control is limited.
MES system
One CRE-pump. Remaining pumps are
fixed speed CR-pumps.
Constant pressure.
If the CRE-pump fails, the
pressure control will be like a
MS system.
MF system
All pumps are CR-pumps. One of these
are speed controlled by a
frequency converter.
Constant pressure.
If the frequency converter fails, the
pressure control will be like a MS
system
MS system
All pumps fixed speed CR-pumps.

The pumps are typically used for drainage and
pumping surface rain water from catchment areas
of the buildings. The amount of effluent collected
depends on both the vertical area of the building
as well as the roof and gravel area surrounding the
building incl. parking areas and gardens.
As portable pumps the stainless steel KP and AP
pumps are suitable for emergency use also.

per Pump Pump type
m/h
0 - 14 KP (only for emergency use)
0 - 34 AP
7 - 155 S Pumps, SuperVortex impeller
30 - 800 Pumps, Channel impeller
In rain water systems the min. free passage for the
pump must not be less than 25 30 mm.
Pump failure in rain water systems will normally
cause heavy expenses for considerable cleaning
and disinfection before drying-out can take place.
Therefore we recommend 100% spare capacity in
the system.
INstnttntoN
Common to all the variants in the Grundfos pump
range is their easy-to-install design. The KP and AP
pump range is ideal for permanent installation i
pump pits and allows for a very flexible installation.
With a flow switch connected, the pump can be
used for automatic operation.
For larger quantities of surface water the range of
Grundfos S Pumps can meet virtually all systems in
and around buildings.

For larger quantities of drainage water the range
of Grundfos S Pumps can meet virtually all systems
in and around buildings. The most common used
installation is submerged in a pumping station,
where the pump is lowered into position on guide
rails, and it automatically connects with the dis-
charge pipe system.
To prevent backflow, a non-return valve is normally
installed in connection with the system.

For emptying of tanks, ponds and pools the light-

very easy to handle and install either as a portable

In order to handle the water from the fire fighting

mally find a number of smaller pump pits in under-
ground car parks and basements.

Pumping fibre-containing effluent from laundries
requires the right choice of pumps in order to avoid

also be considered to ensure a better flow in your
system.

pumping sewage and effluent from discharge levels
below the sewer line.
The SuperVortex is specially designed to handle
unscreened sewage and its performance is superior
in situations where small volumes of flow are
pumped against high heads.
The range of Grundfos Sarlin Pumps is used for
pumping sewage, wastewater and considerable
quantities of surface water and ground water.

Pump failures in a sewage system may additionally
result in evacuation and rehousing of people, due
to contamination. Therefore we recommend always
to have 100% spare capacity in the system.
INstnttntoN
For larger quantities of wastewater the most com-
mon used installation is submerged in a pumping
station, where the pump is lowered into position on
guide rails, and it automatically connects with the
discharge pipe system.
If space is available, the pumps can also be installed
either vertically or horizontally, in dry rooms.
Sewage pumps in common systems are frequently
operated in parallel to enhance output.

Selection of CD-Roms
Pump selection is always based on the duty require-
ments. The wide range of pumps available offers a
standard pump to meet most specifications.
The information provided for the various pumps
in the quick selection guide is, although accurate
enough for most project work, by necessity con-
densed, and should be used for preliminary pump
selection only. Final pump selection should be con-
firmed using individual pump data sheets available
from the manufacturer.
When the pumps is selected, it is important to
select a pump, where the duty point is as close as
possible to the max efficiency point.
Note:
Local authorities often have different regulations as
to layout and dimensioning of pump systems.

Calculation of the capacity of the pump system
depends very much on inflow and variations of this,
which should be carefully estimated. The pumps
should always be dimensioned according to worst
case.
Inflow typically consists of one or more of the
following types of water:
Drainage and infiltration water
Rainwater
Wastewater
CntcutntNc tur Nrtow
Rated inflow in common systems
The rated discharge (Qr) in common systems is
calculated like this:

Qr = Qs,r + Qr,r + Qd,r (l/s), where
Qd,r = the rated amount of drainage water (l/s)
Qr,r = the rated amount of rainwater (l/s)
Qs,r = the rated amount of wastewater (l/s)
kntro Nrtow N srrnentr svstrms
The rated discharge flow in separate systems is
Qr = Qs,r in wastewater pipes (l/s)
Qr = Qr,r + Qd,r in rainwater pipes (l/s)
When dimensioning pipes transporting both
pumped and unpumped water, the probability of
simultaneously occurring peak water flows must be
taken into consideration.
Because of this it may be necessary to minimize the
rated discharge flow by increasing the accumula-
tion capacity in the pump sump.

1) DenNncr wntre
The rated amount of drainage water is usually small
and is often estimated. In case of porous soil in the
surroundings and drainage under the groundwater
level, the rated amount of drainage water should
be based on a hydrogeological test
Ex. There are 835 m drainage pipes in sandy soil,
which covers an area of 50,000 m. This gives a
rated drainage flow (Qd,r) of 27 m/h
2) knNwntre
The rated rainwater flow is calculated like this:
Qr,r = i x j x A, where
i = the rated rain intensity (l/s/m)
A = catchment area in m (horizontal
projection)
= discharge coefficient
The calculation of rain intensity is based on con-
sideration of the consequences of flooding. The
discharge coefficient is a measure of the rainwater
runoff from the catchment area.
The coefficient varies with the type of surface.
The catchment area is calculated as the sum of:
a) Horizontal areas
b) Horizontal projection of sloping surfaces
c) 1/3 of vertical surfaces hit by heavy showers,
i.e. normally the surface pointing towards
the prevailing wind direction.
The average discharge coefficient must normally
not exceed the one stipulated by the authorities
for the in-stallation in question. If it does, a delay
basin or some-thing similar should be established
in agreement with the authorities.

The rated wastewater flow is based on the assumed
wastewater flows qs,a from the individual instal-
lations, taking the probability of simultaneous dis-
charge into consideration.
3.1 Assumed wastewater flow (qs,a)
The assumed wastewater flow is the inflow to the
discharge system from an installation, floor outlet
or the like during normal use.
3.2 Rated wastewater flow (Qs,r)
The rated wastewater flow is based on the size of
the discharge installation, defined as
coupling pipes which only transport discharge
from one installation or one rainwater inlet
connecting pipes where the assumed total
wastewater flow is less than 12 l/s. Connecting
pipes are pipes which transport discharge from

The geodetic head is the vertical distance from the
average water surface in the pumping station to
the outlet of the rising main. This is given by the
consultant engineer, and is 6 m
5trr 3: DrrNr oscunecr rrr szrs
In a sewage pump system there are internal pipes
(inside the pumping station) and external pipes
(rising main in the ground)
The size of internal piping is often chosen to be the
same as the size of the pump discharge.
We have just calculated that the flow is 84.5 l/s,
and from our pump catalogue we see that a typical
pump for this flow has a DN200 mm discharge
flange.
The internal piping are vertical pipes, and for sew-
age the velocity in vertical pipes should not be
less than 1.0 m/s to avoid problems with harmful
deposits and not higher than 3 m/s to avoid unnec-
essarily high pressure losses.
The rising main is sometimes an existing pipe,
and therefore all information is available. But in
applications where a new rising main should be
established, the pump supplier must recommend
the dimension.
The recommended velocity in a rising main for
sewage should not be less than 0.8 m/s to avoid
problems with harmful deposits and not higher
than 2 m/s to avoid unnecessarily high pressure
losses.
How to select
The velocity can be calculated like this:
v = Q/A
where
v = the velocity in m/s
Q = the flow in m
3
/s
A = the internal area of the pipe in m
2
In this example this gives us a velocity of:
Q = 84.5 l/s = 0.0845 m
3
/s
A = p / 4 x 0.21512 = 0.03634
v = 0.0845 / 0.03634 = 2.33 m/s

This velocity is acceptable, and therefore we
choose the internal piping and accessories to be
DN200 mm.
The recommended internal diameter of the ris-
ing main can be calculated like this:
A = Q/v
where
A = the internal area of the pipe in m
Q = the flow in m/s
v = the wanted velocity in m/s

In this example we have the following
information:
Q = 84.5 l/s = 0.0845 m/s
A = p / 4 x D2
v = 1.2 m/s
This gives us a recommended internal
diameter of approx. 300 mm and therefore
we choose a 315 mm PVC pipe, which has an
internal diameter of 296.6 mm.

To select the right pump and to have the right
balance in the system, it is necessary to calculate
the pressure lost in all parts of the system.
A heating system can be devided into 3 parts:
Heat production: Boilers, Heat exchangers, Solar
collectors, Generators, etc.
Heat distribution: Pipes, Fittings, Valves, Pumps.
Heat consumption: Radiators, Calorifiers,
Heating surfaces, Fan coils, Floor heating coils
Domestic hot water production.
After dimensioning of the system, a pressure loss
calculation should be made. The pressure loss (head)
up to the critical point, i.e. the point to which the
biggest pressure loss exists, should be the dimen-
sioning pressure loss for the pump.
If the system is big, it would be an advantage to
zone-divide it, this would make the pressure loss
calculation more clear.
When zone-dividing the system, it is important to
establish which components belong to the distri-
bution part and which belong to the individual
zone. After the calculation it is possible to draw a
system characteristic in a coordinate system, where
the pressure loss (H) is plotted on the Y-axis and the
volume flow rate (Q) on the X-axis.
Normally the piping is dimensioned from a maxi-
mum pressure loss per m pipe, where 100-150 Pa/m
is a good basis. Another possibility is that the veloc-
ity of the pipes determines the dimensioning, up to
100 mm pipe = 1m/s (approx. 28m
3
/h). An economic
pipe dimensioning should be made in cases of pipes
over 100 mm.

The static pressure of the system is the pressure
which is not provided by the circulator pump. The
static pressure depends on the construction of the
system. We distinguish between 2 types of systems:
Open system; Pressurized system.
The static pressure has big influence on both pumps
and valves. If the static pressure is too low, the risk
of cavitation increases, especially at high tempera-
tures. For canned rotor type pumps, a minimum
inlet pressure (static pressure) is stated. For big
pumps the static pressure can be calculated from
the NPSH value of the pump.
The height of the water level in the expansion tank
gives the static pressure. In the shown example, the
static pressure before the pump is approx. 1.6 m.
Open systems are not used so often, but if the heat
source for example is a solid fuel system, it may be
required that the system is an open system.
A pressurized system has a pressure expansion
tank with a rubber membrane, which separates the
compressed gas (nitrogen) and the water in the
system. The static pressure of the system must be
approx. 1.1 x the inlet pressure in the tank. If the
static pressure is higher, the tank loses its ability
to absorb the dilation of the water which happens
when it is heated. This may cause unintentional
pressure rises in the system. If the static pressure
in the system is lower than the inlet pressure, there
will be no water reserve when the temperature in
the system falls, this may in some cases cause a
vacuum in the system, and there is a risk of air
being drawn in.

Often there is a trade off between initial costs
and energy and maintenance costs, as the more

This includes costs such as:
Installation of pumps
Foundation (if necessary)
Connection of electrical wiring and
instrumentation
Installation, connection and set-up of
transmitters, frequency converters, etc.
Connection to BMS system
Performance eveluation at start-up
Again it is advisable to check for trade offs. In
some cases, as with speed controlled pumps, many
components are integrated in the product, which
then gives a higher initial cost, but lower installation
and commisioning costs. Compared to other costs
in a circulating Commercial Building Services pump
system this kind of costs is often modest.
Nrecv Costs (C

In most cases, energy consumption is the largest cost
in the LCC of pump systems in Commercial Building
Services, where the pumps are often running more
than 2000 hours a year.
Many factors influence the energy consumption of
the pump system, e.g.:
Load profile
Use of speed controlled solutions
Pump efficiency (calculation of duty point
should be carried out carefully)
Motor efficiency (the motor efficiency at
partial load can vary significantly between
high efficiency motors and normal efficiency
motors)
Pump sizing (often margins and round ups
tend to suggest oversized pumps)

valves

DrrentNc Costs (C

Operating costs are labour costs related to the
operation of a pumping system. In most cases the
labour cost, which can be related to the pumps in a
commercial building, is modest. Grundfos E-pumps
provide various ways of monitoring the pump, e.g.
the surveillance of the pumps can be done via the
BMS, as the pumps have BUS communication.
MnNtrNnNcr nNo krrne Costs (C

This basically covers all costs related to maintenance
and repair of the pump system, e.g.:
Labour cost
Spare parts
Transportation
Cleaning
To obtain the optimum working life of a pump
and prevent breakdowns, it is feasible to carry out
routine maintenance. Grundfos has made some
estimates on the cost of maintenance for the
pumps.
Life Cycle Cost
Wet-runner pumps are maintenance-
free for a period of 10 years.
Dry-runner pumps are estimated to
have replaced the shaft seal three
times and motor bearings four times
during their life time, which is 20
years. This is estimated to a total of
appr. 1500 EUR per pump.

These costs are only relevant in pump systems used
in production processes. In Commercial Building
Services a stop of the pump rarely results in loss of
production, but more in a loss of comfort. So the
measureable cost of this is modest in CBS. But the
unmeasureable costs, e.g. guests in a hotel without
water can be even higher. Even though one pump
is enough for the required pump performance,
Grundfos always recommends to install a back-up
pump, to prevent the loss of comfort caused by
an unexpected failure in the pump system. The
communication possibilities of the E-pumps make
it possible to act fast in case of a break-down.
NveoNmrNtnt Costs (C

This includes the cost of disposal of parts and
contamination from the pumped liquid. The
contribution to the life cycle cost of a pump system
in CBS from this is set to be modest.
DrcommssoNNc nNo Dsrosnt Costs (C

These costs are also more relevant in systems
with harzardous liquids, and they seem to be non-
existent or modest in CBS systems. At least there
will be little difference occuring from the design of
the system.

CntcutntNc LCC
The LCC of a pump system is then made up of the
summation of all the components over the life time
of the system. This is typically 10 - 20 years. As we
are considering a significant amount of years, the
most correct way of calculating LCC would be based
on the discounted cash flow.
Working with a time frame of these 10 20 years
also indicates that the energy price will probably
be significantly higher than today. For political
reasons, the price of energy is probably going to
increase more than the general inflation.

keeping hold of the different cost components for a

Library
DrscertoN:
In 1999 the university library in Gothenburg got
a new air-conditioning system with a computer
based Building Management System.
Ae-coNotoNNc:
Speed controlled-pumps are installed in
Gothenburg's university library's new air-condition-
ing system regulating different flows according to
needs and consumption.
The air-conditioning system has been designed with
careful consideration to minimise the energy con-
sumption.
GRUNDFOS TPE series 2000 In-Line pumps have
been installed in several places where there is a
varying demand for cooling and therefore a varying
flow. The Speed controlled-pumps automatically
adapt the performance and keep a constant differ-
ential pressure to the installation. The Speed con-
trolled-pumps have the great advantage of being
compact units that are easy to install.
The chillers in the system are using propane
refrigerant.
The whole indoor climate is monitored and con-
trolled by a computerised Building Management
System. With this system it is possible centrally to
supervise the present state of the system, and from
a computer it is possible to change settings like e.g.
temperatures.
The BMS system is TAC Vista.

DrscertoN:
Landvetter Flygplats is the airport in Gothenburg. In
2000 approximately 4 mill. travellers went through
the airport.
Grundfos Speed controlled-pumps are used in the
cooling system for air-conditioning in the airport.
In 1999 the airports air-conditioning system was
renovated and expanded. Today the system has a
total maximum refrigerating capacity of 1,140 kW
from three chillers.
Ae-coNotoNNc:
The system consists of three cooling machines each
with speed controlled Grundfos pumps on both the
hot and the cold side.
In total nine GRUNDFOS TPE series 2000 In-Line
pumps are installed in the system.
GRUNDFOS TPE series 2000 In-Line pumps regulate
the flow through the chillers and the condensers,
so that the flow at all times is exactly the necessary
flow for the actual refrigeration need.
Besides saving space and energy the system is also
optimised to be as environmentally friendly as pos-
sible for that type of system.

Ae-coNotoNNc:
The installation supplies air-conditioning for part of
the shopping mall and the offices in the building.
To save installation costs, it was decided to install
Speed controlled-pumps when the old system had
to be renovated. The Speed controlled-pumps are
all-in-one compact units, taking up a minimum of
space and easy to install.
Each pump is connected to a differential pressure
sensor in the system. The sensors give input values
to the Speed controlled-pump, which then adapt the
speed according to the actual need of performance
this way the pumps save energy.

This Project involved a full package of energy effi-
cient speed controlled pumps, pressurisation sys-
tems and booster systems. Large 200 kw long cou-
pled GRUNDFOS NK End-suction pumps were used
to provide additional heating and airconditioning
requirements to the extended terminal replacing
existing Baric Belt Drive Pumps. The GRUNDFOS NK
End-suction pumps were driven by remote Danfoss
wall mounted inverters providing quiet running
operation. Sat 3 involved a number of close coupled
GRUNDFOS NB End-suction pumps with remote
Danfoss wall mounted inverters providing heating
and airconditioning requirements to the Satelite
3 Link terminal. GRUNDFOS monopress pressurisa-
tion systems were utilised for the chilled water
and heating systems and a GRUNDFOS CRE booster
system for the cold water supply.
Grundfos were able to fulfil the clients require-
ments with an energy efficient solution.
Grundfos were asked to provide an energy efficient
pumping solution for the increased heating and air-
conditioning requirements of the extended terminal
and satelite link to this airport.
