Hot water return design historically has been completed by using rules of thumb and estimations. Unfortunately, this has led to increase in materials and a decrease in efficiency. In this class we will review the engineering principles for proper hot water return sizing and selection. We’ll cover information from college level “Energy Conversion Design” and “Piping System Configuration” classes. And we’ll also review how to apply these principles.

Learning items include, but are not limited to:

Begin more in-depth consideration when selecting hot water temperature; Review hot water system routing options; Understand the limitations of “Rules of Thumb” HWR Sizing Methodologies; Learn about the “True” Heat Loss Sizing methodology; Understand Hardy-Cross Method and Parallel Piping Systems Review balancing valves types and limitations; Review criteria for selection a recirculation pump; Consider other possible issues that relate to hot water return; Review practical examples on how to apply Hardy Cross Sizing methodology to HWR designs.
