Introduction

Choosing the best flow control balancing device for water-source heat
pump equipment just got easier.

Superior circuit balancing of the HVAC equipment is an important aspect to the overall layout and
design of the HVAC system. Proper balance of the system can protect the HVAC equipment, while
providing a longer equipment life. Superior circuit balancing can save energy by supplying the
proper amount of fluid to make your system perform at its highest efficiency.

Trane’s flow balancing choices have taken the guess work out of system balancing. From the most

economical means of system balancing, to an automated flow system, Trane’s flow kits support a
variety of water-source heat pump applications.

The three hose kit choices used in HVAC systems today include:

• Manual Hose Kit with a ball valve

• Manual Hose Kit with a circuit setter

• Automatic, Self-balancing Flow Hose Kit

With flow velocities ranging from 0.5 to 60.0 gpm, our automatic balancing device supports a

variety of water-source heat pump applications and equipment sizes. It is typically the ideal choice
in system balancing, but up-front expense associated to auto flow balancing often deters owners
into a manual balancing system.

With automatic flow balancing, the actual money spent on the automatic flow kits, can be quickly

made up when the tedious work of balancing, and re-balancing the system is recouped by the
installing contractor. And in the event that a new piece of equipment is added to the system, or
equipment servicing is required, re-balancing of the entire system is necessary.

Overall accuracy in the balancing of water flow to the equipment may also be in question when
using the manual balancing method. Especially in applications where varying cooling
requirements may offer a substantial energy savings to the owner. In this application, manual
balancing to support varying pump speeds is not practical.

Automatic flow kits are an excellent choice in providing protection through a constant, accurate

flow to the equipment.

Regardless of your balancing choiceandneed,Trane suggests several alternatives. All hose kits are
model number configured to better support a range of decisions made in any given application.

Quality components are an important aspect to installing a fail-proof system. Our hose kits are
tested at the manufacturing site to help ensure leaks are non-existent. All flow kits are outfitted with
a braided, stainless steel hose on both the supply and the return side of the system.The available
hose length options are 18-, 24-, and 36-inches.

Optional components, such as a Y-ball strainer, sustain systems using brackish or hard water. A 2­position isolation valve may be specified in the hose kit design for systems supplying variable
water volume control.

For questions in entire system balancing for overall life cycle savings, Trane has the answer.
