5:1 Statement

The aim of chilled water balancing is to apply a disciplined procedure of adjustment to water flow
rates throughout the chilled water system to meet particular requirements of the design.

6:0 Regulation of Water Flow

6:1. Method of Measurement

Water flow Mano meter is used for taking measurement of differential pressure across balancing
valves.

6:2 Warning:
Balancing a system requires the insertion of manometers with probes into pressure test points.
In a charged system the water temperature must be below 60ºC when this is done.

6:4 Preliminary Flow Rate Check

With all valves fully open, measure and record the total actual flow rate from the Main DRV
(located in each floor) and compare this with the total system design flow requirement. Where
necessary, close the main regulation valve to provide a flow of approximately 110% design flow
rate.

6:5 Balancing the chilled water main branches, sub branches, risers and terminals by
proportionally

a) Keep all the DRV, s and isolation valves at fully open position
b) Record the flow and compare with the design flow.
c) For each measuring station evaluate the percentage design flow rate DFR (%)+100 fa/fd,
where fa is the actual and fd the design flow rate.

d) Measure the initial flow at all terminals.

 e) Find out the index branch risers where we get Lower percentage of volume as per the
design flow rate

f) Keep the DRV of the index terminal at fully open position

g) Throttle the other terminals proportionally where we get higher percentage of volume.

h) Monitor the index percentage after throttling each terminal as its increases gradually.

i) By the time of last terminal complete, the flow will be balanced at all terminal including the
index terminal with an equal percentage of design, within the allowable tolerances

6:6 PICV Balancing procedure.

Note: Calibration certificate to be attached in the Work Inspection Request (WIR) for all
instrument used on site.

8:0 chilled water balancing data recording.

a) PICV or DRV make & model.

b) Volume of flow from each terminal.
c) PICV Differential pressure.

1.0 GENERAL PROCEDURES FAN COIL UNITS

These procedures are to be applied to the following systems where applicable:

1:1 Pre- Commissioning Air

The purpose of these procedures is to check that the installation is in a satisfactory

and safe condition before starting up. It is presumed that the installer has thoroughly
checked the installations and that they are deemed commission able in that:

a) All plant items are in acc

b) correct installation procedures have been followed
c) Standards of installation and site cleanliness are acceptable.

1:2 System Cleanliness

Prior to the fitting of filter elements, the following will be checked by the installer
for cleanliness.

a) fan coil unit,

b) condensate drain,
c) cooling coil trays,
d) dampers,
e) ducting and other airways,
f) Sensing elements.

1:3 Plant Components

The following checks will be undertaken.

a) turning vanes, coil fins and sensing elements have been fitted and are
undamaged,
b) filters installed correctly in relation to air flow,
 c) damper free movement, clearances, seating, pinning to damper spindles,
position of blades with respect to quadrant indication.
d) dampers throughout the system secured in open position,
e) all adjustable louvers set without deflection, i.e. normal to face of grille,
f) test holes provided for measurement of total airflow.(IF REQUIRED)

1:4 Visual Checks

The following checks will be undertaken,

a) Motorized damper access doors

b) all components, bolts, fixing etc., are secure,
c) anti-vibration mountings,

1:5 Electrical Checks (To be undertaken by Electrical Contractor)

Prior to running of the fans, the following procedures will be adopted and checks
made with all electrical supplies isolated.

a) transit packing removed by contractor,

b) all mechanical checks on fans complete,
c) all wiring connections are tight
d) all power and control wiring completed in detail to the circuit diagram,
e) all cover plates fitted.

2:0 Setting to Work

2:1 Initial Running of Fan Set

On activating the fan coil unit, we will check,

a) direction of rotation of blower,

b) fan free from vibration or undue noise,

3:0 Regulation of Air Flow

3:1 Method of Velocity measurements in Ducts

The total airflow of the fan will be measured through duct traverse method by using
Micro manometer and pitot tubes. (if required)

3:2 Measurement of Airflow at Terminals

Depending upon location and access to air terminals, various types of airflow
measuring instruments will be used to record the actual flow at terminals. Assuming
adequate access provided, a direct reading balometer would be used which gives a
direct reading of volume rather than velocity, which cancels out the needs for
effective grills areas and velocity correction

If the access is restricted then the rotating vane anemometer shall be used the
velocity reading obtained would be converted to volume(velocity x free area =
volume) and a comparison between the pitot traverse reading will be made to obtain
a correction factor which would be incorporated to give a true velocity reading
.Alternatively effective area provided by the register /grille manufacturer will be
incorporated in design velocity calculation.

3:3 Regulation Procedure

Before starting regulation, it is essential that the building is a complete, ceiling,

partitions, doors and windows installed, windows glazed, doors or windows in their
normal or closed state. If spaces are not architecturally sealed, abnormal pressure
distributions will unbalance the system and lead to inconsistent and UN-
reproducible results.

3:4 Balancing the terminals by proportionally

a) Keep all outlet dampers in the grill at fully open position

b) Select the specified speed of the fan coil
c) Take the initial total flow of the unit by adding up all the measured volume
from each outlet
d) Compare the reading against the design flow. Find out the percentage of the
design flow.
 e) For each measuring station evaluate the percentage design flow rate DFR
(%)x100 fa/fd, where fa is the actual and fd the design flow rate.
f) Find out the index branch where we get Lower percentage of volume as per
the design flow rate
g) Keep the damper of the index outlet damper at fully open position
h) Throttle the air volume at each outlet to get the design percentage of flow
proportionally by using flow hood (Balometer)
i) Monitor the index percentage after throttling each outlet as its increases
gradually.
j) By the time of last outlet completed, the flow will be balanced at all outlets
including the index branch with an equal percentage of design, within the
allowable tolerances
k) Note all the readings at all put lets and keep record.

3.0 Regulation of Air Flow

A. Method of Velocity measurements in Ducts

The total airflow of the level-3 branch will be measured through duct traverse method by using
Micro manometer and pitot tubes.

A. Test Holes

Test holes, where not already provided will normally be formed by drilling and will be sealed by
insertion of removal tapered plastic plugs. Test holes will preferably be located a minimum of ten
diameters downstream from any source of disturbance to airflow. The number of test holes will
be determined by size and shape of the duct to be measured.

B. Measurement of Airflow at Terminals

Depending upon location and access to air terminals, various types of airflow measuring
instruments will be used to record the actual flow at terminals. Assuming adequate access
provided, a direct reading balometer would be used which gives a direct reading of volume rather
than velocity, which cancels out the needs for effective grills areas and velocity correction

If the access is restricted then the rotating vane anemometer shall be used the velocity reading
obtained would be converted to volume (velocity x free area = volume) and a comparison
between the pitot traverse reading will be made to obtain a correction factor which would be
incorporated to give a true velocity reading .Alternatively effective area provided by the register
