Why Dynamic hydronic balancing?

Dynamic hydronic balancing is a method used in HVAC systems to optimize the distribution of water throughout a building's heating and cooling system. Dynamic hydronic balancing adjusts to varying load conditions, so you have consistent water flow and differential pressure across the system.

Siemens dynamic valves cut HVAC energy use by optimizing flow, enhancing efficiency and ensuring comfort. PICVs (pressure independent control valves) and the Intelligent Valve offer additional savings through energy measurement and hydronic expertise. This leads to:

  • Reduced energy waste
  • Improved comfort
  • Fast and easy product selection without need for complex hydronic calculations

Key benefits

Simplify system design for planners

  • No complex pressure loss and valve authority calculations
  • Fast product selection (only flow needed)
  • Energy savings through automatic, permanent hydronic balancing
  • A dynamically balanced system under all operating conditions

Avoid adding extra components for installers

  • No additional flow regulating valves or balancing valves needed
  • Easy installation and reduced commissioning time
  • Commissioning in stages provides flexibility

Cut energy and equipment costs for building owners

  • Increase the energy efficiency of your building
  • Reduce pumping and chiller/boiler operating costs.
  • Up to 30 % energy savings through automatic, permanent hydronic balancing
