Parallel Pumping Parallel Pumps - Why? • Parallel pumping provides additive flow at the same point of head.
Pump Curve Point of Selection Single Pump Curve Head Flow
Single Pump Curve Parallel Pump Curve Duty Point Point of Selection Head Flow 1, Pump 2 Flow 1, Pump 1 • Flow Parallel Pump Curve
Parallel Pumping Parallel Pumps - Advantages • Smaller pumps • Smaller motors • Lower operating cost • Standby options • Right size pump operating more often

Parallel Pumping Review Selection Criteria • Select pumps for 50% of total flow (500 gpm, each) • Make sure each pump can cross system curve Parallel Pump Advantage • Pump runs out to 820 gpm • Operate one pump for ≥ 80%of the time • Save operational cost!
Parallel Pumping Cautions Improper parallel pump selection • Pumps too small • End of curve • Unequal sized pumps • Erratic operation

Recirculating systems compensate for the heat loss from water heater to last fixture DHW Recirculation Systems 41
DHW Recirculation Systems Use ASPE Domestic Water Heating Design Manual as a design reference 42
Three types of systems: Self-regulating heat trace system Point of use water heater Recirculating systems DHW Recirculation Systems 43
Determine wait time Calculate heat loss Calculate piping pressure drop Determine control method Select pump Check local codes DHW Recirculation Systems Design Criteria: 45
DHW Recirculation Systems More immediate desired hot water temperature at the tap Decrease Legionnaire concerns Reduce water consumption 46
DHW Recirculation Systems No specific national code requirements – some local codes >100’ length rule is no longer valid since both energy and water use have become important Length of time has increased due to low flow fixtures Older faucets: 2.2 GPM (prior to 1992) Low flow faucet: 0.5 GPM ½” pipe: 0.01 gallons/foot Run time to empty 100’ length of ½” pipe – Old faucet: 27 seconds Low flow faucet: 2 minutes 47
DHW Recirculation System Consider the delay time for HW 0-10 seconds for public fixtures in office buildings 11-30 seconds marginal but acceptable >31 seconds unacceptable (significant waste of water and energy) Max. distance ~25’ between the HW loop & the fixture Calculated length based on pipe size and distance 48
ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2010 section 7.4.4.4 requires circulating pump controls limiting operation to a maximum of 5 minutes after the end of the heating cycle. Control Options Manual control Thermostatic aqua-stat Time clock Also consider other local code requirements DHW Recirculation Systems 49
Pump Characteristics Because of the corrosiveness of open loop systems the pumps should be all bronze or stainless steel Make sure the pump’s casing pressure rating is higher than the relief valve DHW Recirculation Systems 50
