As the Helsinki report found, buildings with centralized systems are anything but energy efficient. Many suffer from a condition called Low Delta T Syndrome.
Research suggests that more than half of buildings with a central plant are suffering from Low Delta T Syndrome.
What is this all about?
If a heating or cooling system is operated with too large quantities of water 💧, this cannot be converted into a higher 🔥 heating or ❄️cooling performance.
What are the consequences?
The system reaches saturation and no additional power is delivered. This results in higher ⚡ energy consumption and therefore higher costs 💰.
The system works inefficiently
How to identify the problem?
We automatically monitor and evaluate your heating and cooling circuits and present their efficiency in a clear manner. This allows you to immediately see whether your systems are working efficiently.
What reasons could there be for this?
- Coils and valves are not sized properly
- Too much water is delivered
- Coils foul and degrade with age or lack proper maintenance
How to fix the problem?
- Check your systems for contamination and other problems
- Do a hydraulic balance
- Install pressure-dependent control valves
