How Balancing Valves Improves Water Flow

Have you ever had the experience that when you turn on the hot water in your apartment building and there is no hot water or, maybe worse you are blasted with boiling hot water? This is unfortunately one of the downsides of living in a shared housing unit when there is inconsistency in water flow.

However, with the help of balancing valves it is possible to effectively regulate water flow even at times when everyone is using the water at once, such as in the morning when every takes a shower before going to work such that the desired temperature will be available at all points of the system.

Automatic balancing values maintain consistent water flow independent of pressure changes in the system. In any cooling or heating water distribution system, balance is maintained by having the same flow rate through the system.

A control valve is another solution to maintaining constant flow rate in heating and cooling systems. They balance system by using a proportional system, however, due to the nature of this system, it is typically less energy efficiency due to the fact that the pumps running the system require consume a lot of energy.
