TAB shall be done as per latest NEBB procedural standards:

 In order to achieve the purpose of Testing & Balancing of HVAC system the above
referred method(s) shall be applied.
 To ensure that basic procedures are followed in TAB Processes, the following
general procedures are described:

7.1 General Testing Procedures for Air Systems


These procedures shall be applied to all measurements encompassed in TAB to complete
the report forms applicable as per the agreed scope of work
i. Prepare test reports for both fans and outlets. Obtain manufacturer's outlet factors
and recommended testing procedures. Crosscheck the summation of required outlet
volumes with required fan volumes.
ii. For variable-air-volume systems, develop a plan to simulate diversity.
iii. Determine the best locations in main and branch ducts for accurate duct-airflow
measurements.
iv. Check airflow patterns from the outdoor-air louvers and dampers and the return-
and exhaust-air dampers through the supply-fan discharge and mixing dampers.
v. Locate start-stop and disconnect switches, electrical interlocks, and motor starters.
vi. Verify that motor starters are equipped with properly sized thermal protection.
vii. Check dampers for proper position to achieve desired airflow path.
viii. Check for airflow blockages.
ix. Check condensate drains for proper connections and functioning.
x. Check for proper sealing of air-handling-unit components.

7.2 Procedures for Constant-Volume Air Systems

i. Adjust fans to deliver total indicated airflows within the maximum allowable fan
speed listed by fan manufacturer.
ii. Where sufficient space in ducts is unavailable for Pitot-tube traverse measurements,
measure airflow at terminal outlets and inlets and calculate the total airflow.
iii. Measure outlet static pressure as far downstream from the fan as practical and
upstream from restrictions in ducts such as elbows and transitions.
iv. Measure static pressure directly at the fan outlet or through the flexible connection.
v. Measure inlet static pressure of single-inlet fans in the inlet duct as near the fan as

ix. Measure static pressures entering and leaving other devices, such as sound traps,
heat-recovery equipment, and air washers, under final balanced conditions.
x. Do not make fan-speed adjustments that result in motor overload. Consult
equipment manufacturers about fan-speed safety factors. Modulate dampers and
measure fan-motor amperage to ensure that no overload will occur. Measure
amperage in full-cooling, full-heating, economizer, and any other operating mode to
determine the maximum required brake horsepower.
xi. Adjust volume dampers for main duct, sub main ducts, and major branch ducts to
indicated airflows within specified tolerances.
xii. Where sufficient space in sub main and branch ducts is unavailable for Pitot-tube
traverse measurements, measure airflow at terminal outlets and inlets and calculate
the total airflow for that zone.
xiii. Measure static pressure at a point downstream from the balancing damper, and
adjust volume dampers until the proper static pressure is achieved.
xiv. Remeasure each sub main and branch duct after all have been adjusted. Continue
to adjust sub main and branch ducts to indicated airflows within specified
tolerances.
xv. Measure terminal outlets using a direct-reading hood or outlet manufacturer's written
instructions and calculating factors.
xvi. Adjust air outlets and inlets for each space to indicated airflows within specified
tolerances of indicated values. Make adjustments using branch volume dampers
rather than collar dampers.
xvii. Adjust each outlet in same room or space to within specified tolerances of indicated
quantities without generating noise levels above the limitations prescribed by the
Contract Documents.
xviii. Adjust patterns of adjustable outlets for proper distribution without drafts.

7.3 Procedures for Variable-Air-Volume Systems

Compensating for Diversity: When the total airflow of all terminal units is more than the
indicated airflow of the fan, place a selected number of terminal units at a minimum set point
airflow with the remainder at maximum-airflow condition until the total airflow of the terminal
units equals the indicated airflow of the fan. Select the reduced-airflow terminal units so they
are distributed evenly among the branch ducts.
Note:

A. Pressure-Independent, Variable-Air-Volume Systems

After the fan systems have been adjusted, adjust the variable-air-volume systems as
follows:

1. Set outdoor-air dampers at minimum, and set return- and exhaust-air dampers at a
position that simulates full-cooling load.

i. Select the terminal unit that is most critical to the supply-fan airflow and static
pressure. Measure static pressure. Adjust system static pressure so the entering
static pressure for the critical terminal unit is not less than the sum of the terminal-
unit manufacturer's recommended minimum inlet static pressure plus the static
pressure needed to overcome terminal-unit discharge system losses.
ii. Measure total system airflow. Adjust to within indicated airflow.
iii. Set terminal units at maximum airflow and adjust controller or regulator to deliver the
designed maximum airflow. Use terminal-unit manufacturer's written instructions to
make this adjustment. When total airflow is correct, balance the air outlets
downstream from terminal units the same as described for constant-volume air
systems.
iv. Set terminal units at minimum airflow and adjust controller or regulator to deliver the
designed minimum airflow. Check air outlets for a proportional reduction in airflow
the same as described for constant volume air systems.
v. If air outlets are out of balance at minimum airflow, report the condition but leave
outlets balanced for maximum airflow.
2. Remeasure the return airflow to the fan while operating at maximum return airflow and
minimum outdoor airflow.
i. Adjust the fan and balance the return-air ducts and inlets the same as described for
constant-volume air systems.
3. Measure static pressure at the most critical terminal unit and adjust the static pressure
controller at the main supply-air sensing station to ensure that adequate static pressure
is maintained at the most critical unit.
4. Record final fan-performance data.

B. Pressure-Dependent, Variable-Air-Volume Systems without Diversity


After the fan systems have been adjusted, adjust the variable-air-volume systems as follows:
1. Balance variable-air-volume systems the same as described for constant-volume air
systems.
i. Set terminal units and supply fan at full-airflow condition.
ii. Adjust inlet dampers of each terminal unit to indicated airflow and verify operation of
the static-pressure controller. When total airflow is correct, balance the air outlets
downstream from terminal units the same as described for constant-volume air
systems.
iii. Readjust fan airflow for final maximum readings.
iv. Measure operating static pressure at the sensor that controls the supply fan if one is
installed, and verify operation of the static-pressure controller.
v. Set supply fan at minimum airflow if minimum airflow is indicated.
vi. Measure static pressure to verify that it is being maintained by the controller.
vii. Set terminal units at minimum airflow and adjust controller or regulator to deliver the
designed minimum airflow. Check air outlets for a proportional reduction in airflow the
same as described for constant volume air systems.
viii. If air outlets are out of balance at minimum airflow, report the condition but leave the
outlets balanced for maximum airflow.
2. Measure the return airflow to the fan while operating at maximum return airflow and
minimum outdoor airflow.
i. Adjust the fan and balance the return-air ducts and inlets the same as described for
constant-volume air systems.

C. Pressure-Dependent, Variable-Air-Volume Systems with Diversity:


After the fan systems have been adjusted, adjust the variable-air-volume systems as follows:
i. Set system at maximum indicated airflow by setting the required number of terminal
units at minimum airflow. Select the reduced-airflow terminal units so they are
distributed evenly among the branch ducts.
ii. Adjust supply fan to maximum indicated airflow with the variable-airflow controller set
at maximum airflow.
iii. Set terminal units at full-airflow condition.
iv. Adjust terminal units starting at the supply-fan end of the system and continuing
progressively to the end of the system. Adjust inlet dampers of each terminal unit to
indicated airflow. When total airflow is correct, balance the air outlets downstream
from terminal units the same as described for constant-volume air systems.
v. Adjust terminal units for minimum airflow.

vi. Measure static pressure at the sensor.


vii. Measure the return airflow to the fan while operating at maximum return airflow and
minimum outdoor airflow. Adjust the fan and balance the return-air ducts and inlets the
same as described for constant-volume air systems.

7.4 Flow Measurements Procedures


All other air flow measurement shall be made as per NEBB Procedural Standard latest edition.

7.4a Procedure for Pitot Tube Traverse


To accomplish repeatable traverse measurements, take the measurements in a specific,
measured pattern. There are two acceptable methods:
i. The equal area method
ii. The log / Tchebycheff method
I. Locate a traverse position in a straight section of duct.
II. Duct size must not change in a traversed section.
III. Face the Pitot tube into the air stream and parallel to the air stream before
taking measurements. Convert velocity pressure to fpm velocity before
averaging. Take traverse measurements at actual conditions and actual cubic
feet per minute (ACFM). Correct ACFM to standard CFM (SCFM) when
specified. Verify that velocity measurements are acceptable. AMCA Publication
203-N 90 states that a traverse plane is suitable for flow measurements if more
than 75 % of the velocity pressure readings are greater than 1 /10 of the
maximum velocity measurement.

7.4b Procedure for Electric Power Measurements


Electrical data measurements include the following:
i. Amperage readings on each phase.
ii. Voltage readings on each phase.
iii. Balanced and unbalanced kW readings, when applicable.
iv. Power factor, when applicable.
v. Additional data as required to verify performance.
vi. Take motor kw measurements to verify horsepower before recommending the
changing of motors.
vii. Comply with proper safety procedures, including the use of electrical gloves
when taking power readings on high-voltage equipment.
viii. Record electrical test readings on approved forms that correspond to the Equipment
being tested.

Alternate procedure for variable frequency drives:


i. If a test is required between the controller and motor, then confirm that the controller
speed is set to 100 %. Verify factors, load, and operating efficiencies, which can
vary widely, with the controller and motor manufacturers.
ii. If load or amperage readings are desired at different motor speeds, then verify
correction factors of controller and motor. Do not exceed critical fan speeds.

7.4c Procedure for Rotational Speed Measurements


i. Verify that vibration isolators are properly installed.
ii. Select the type of appropriate instrument required for the test.
iii. Remove the belt guards on each unit with the unit off.
iv. Verify that the drive alignment is correct.
v. Verify that belt tension is correct.
vi. Turn the unit on and, with adequate clearance, measure rpm.
vii. Take final rpm measurements with the unit at balanced conditions.
viii. Measure rpm at each speed mode of operation.
ix. Take motor rpm measurements to verify the motor load. Rpm changes with Load on
the motor, which affects the fan rpm.
x. Reinstall the belt guard with the unit off.
xi. Comply with proper safety procedures, including preventing loose clothing or
hair from being caught in the rotating components.
xii. Record all rotational test measurements on approved forms that correspond with the
equipment tested.
xiii. Use a photo tachometer or strobe when access will not allow a direct reading
tachometer to be used.

7.4d Procedure for Static Pressure Measurements


i. Take the fan suction pressure at the eye of the fan wheel inlet or fan inlet plenum.
Do not include inlet vanes.
ii. Take the fan discharge pressure at the discharge of the fan outlet. If the fan has an
outlet damper as part of the fan, do not include the damper. Fan pressure data,
along with the fan rpm, motor brake horsepower, and fan curve can be used to
determine the fan performance and system effect.
iii. Measure the external static pressure in the unit supply outlet duct and at the unit
return air inlet duct. The external unit pressure equals the supply outlet duct
pressure minus the return inlet duct pressure.
iv. Measure the pressure losses across each related device in the unit, i.e., filters,
heating coils, cooling coils, damper sections, etc.

v. For static controlled systems, measure and record the static pressure at the control
static pressure sensor location.
vi. Compare and review static pressure measurements against the manufacturer's
submittal data for differences that could affect the system performance.

7.4e Procedure for Basic Temperature Measurements


I. Use thermometers with current calibration records and compare them to each other
for a matched set at the time of the test.
II. Immerse thermometers to the point required for accurate measurements according
to the manufacturer's directions.
III. The test location for a single point measurement should be at the average fluid
temperature (air or water). If the average temperature cannot be taken at one
location, then take multiple points in a traverse fashion and record the average. Test
wells in pipes, must protrude into the pipe to allow for accurate measurement
(approximately 50 % of the pipe diameter). Add heat transfer fluid to wells for
accurate temperature measurements.
IV. Avoid effects of radiation, i.e., avoid measuring next to an electric heating coil
element.
V. Allow time for the thermometer to reach equilibrium with the fluid (air or water) being
measured. Take periodic readings without removing the thermometer from the fluid
until the temperature remains essentially constant more than a 30-second time
period. When using a 0.1 " F thermometer and conducting a field performance or
witness test, once the thermometer has reached equilibrium, record three readings
at five second intervals and use the average as the station reading.
VI. In HVAC applications, avoid surface temperature measurements unless no other
method is available. The surface temperature will not be the true fluid temperature,
and this method has a great deal of error. If a surface temperature is used, give
great care to cleaning the pipe so there is good contact with the thermometer and
the pipe. Insulate over the thermometer and pipe to reduce the ambient air effect on
the temperature readings. This method is best suited to determine the temperature
drop between a supply pipe and a return pipe on coils or fin tube radiation.
VII. Take wet bulb temperatures in airstreams and in ambient air using an appropriate
thermometer with a cotton wick installed over the sensing portion of the
thermometer. The wick should have extra length to help retain moisture during the
measurement period, and may be extended to a water reservoir for a prolonged
measurement. The wick should be wetted with distilled water for performance or
witness testing. Clean fresh water is adequate for most field testing as the error, if
any, is not significant. The airflow over the wick shall be approximately 1,000 fpm for
wet bulb testing.

NEBB PROCEDURAL STANDARDS
SECTION 8 AIR SYSTEM
TAB PROCEDURES
8.1 INTRODUCTION
Testing, adjusting, and balancing of HVAC systems can best be accomplished by systematic
procedures. The NEBB TAB procedures presented in this section address the majority of system
commonly installed. It is the responsibility of the NEBB Certified TAB Firm to determine
appropriate procedures for systems not covered in this section.

8.2 PRELIMINARY SYSTEM PROCEDURES


8.2.1 Each type of HVAC system is designed to meet set of performance parameters. This usually
includes maximum heating capacity, and ventilation effectiveness. The NEBB Certified TAB Firm
should normally set-up a system to its maximum capacity, or ‘full load’ condition, prior to the TAB
process. It is this condition that presents the greatest challenge to a system’s capacity to meet its
design airflow requirements.

8.2.2 Not all system types are addressed in this section. Confer with the engineer record to establish
the proper set-up conditions for specific system.

8.2.3 The following TAB procedures are basic to all types of air systems:

a) Verify that the construction team responsibilities for system installation and startup as
discussed in Section 3 are complete.

b) Record unit nameplate data as described in Section 6.

c) Confirm that every item affecting the airflow of a duct system is ready for the TAB work,
such as doors and windows being closed, ceiling tiles (return air plenums) in place, etc.

d) Confirm that automatic control devices will not adversely affect TAB operations. The control
systems shall be installed and commissioned by others prior to starting the TAB work.

e) Establish the conditions for design maximum system requirements.

f) Verify that all dampers are open or set, all related systems (supply, return, exhaust, etc.), are
operating, motors are operating at or below full load amperage ratings, and rotation is correct.

g) Positive and negative pressurization zones should be identified at this time.


8.3 ESTABLISHING FAN TOTAL AIRFLOW

8.3.1 The most accurate and accepted field test of airflow is a Pitot tube traverse of the duct.
Procedures for conducting a Pitot tube traverse are found in Section 6. In situations where a Pitot
tube traverse(s) is not available, the system airflow may be determined by alternate methods, such
as anemometer or velocity grid traverses across coils and / or filters, or the summation of air
outlet measurements. These alternative methods are subject to a greater degree of error than Pitot
tube traverses and should be used with caution.

8.3.2 Additionally, if a Pitot tube traverse is available, a comparison of the total outlet airflow
measurement with the Pitot tube traverse readings, of the fan total airflow may assist in quantifying
possible duct leakage. It is important to note that differences between total air outlet volume and
Pitot tube traverse totals may be indicative of duct leakage, measurements errors, or incorrect area
factors. Accurate assessment of duct leakage requires a specific duct leakage test, which is outside the
scope of TAB work.

8.3.3 Fan curves can be used when other required data can be obtained, such as SP, rpm and bhp
(W). Experience has shown, however, that often not at all of the field readings will fall into place on
the fan and design system curves due to System Effect and measurements errors.

8.3.4 If the fan volume is not within plus or minus 10 percent of the design airflow requirement,
adjust the drive of the fan to obtain the approximate required airflow. At the conclusion of all system
balancing procedures, measure and record the fan suction static pressure, fan discharge static
pressures, amperage and air volume requirements. Confirm that the fan motor is not operating in
excess of its full load amperage rating. Care must be exercised when increasing fan speeds to avoid
exceeding the maximum rpm limit of the fan and the motor horsepower (W). (The motor power
increases as the cube of the fan speed change.) When new systems do not perform as designed, new
drives and motors often are required. Unless clearly specified in the contract documents, the
responsibility for these items is outside the scope of the NEBB Certified TAB Firm.

8.3.5 When performing static pressure readings on fan systems, it is necessary to take the readings
based on a common static reference point.

8.3.6 Using the methods outlined above, determine the volume of air being handled by the supply air
fan, and return air fan if used, If a central exhaust fan system is used, also determine the airflow being
handled by the exhaust fan. If several exhaust fans, such as power roof ventilators are related to a
particular supply air system, it generally is not necessary to measure the airflow of each such exhaust
fan until after the supply air system is balanced.

8.3.7 Verify the system test data with the supply air and return air fans in the 100% outside air (OA)
and exhaust air (EA) mode. Use caution when ambient conditions may adversely affect system
operation.
8.4 BASIC AIR SYSTEM BALANCING PROCEDURES
Balancing air systems may be accomplished in various ways. Two acceptable methods for balancing
systems are presented. These methods are appropriate for supply, return and exhaust systems.
Regardless of the method, the objectives remain the same and the system will be considered
balanced in accordance with NEBB procedural standards when the following conditions are
satisfied:

a) All measured airflow quantities are within ± 10 percent of the design airflow quantities
unless there are reasons beyond the control of the NEBB Certified TAB firm.
Deficiencies shall be noted in the TAB report summary.

b) There is at least one path with fully open dampers from the fan to an air inlet or outlet.
Additionally, if a system contains branch dampers, there will be at least one wide-
open path downstream of every adjusted branch dampers.

8.4.1 PROPORTIONAL METHOD (RATIO METHOD)


This technique is initially described for a basic constant volume supply system without branch ducts.
It is also appropriate for exhaust or return duct systems.

a. Verify that all Grille, register and diffuser (GRD) dampers are wide open.

b. Set air outlet deflections as specified.

c. Determine total system airflow by the most appropriate method.

d. Calculate the percentage of actual airflow to design airflow.

e. Adjust the fan to approximately 110% of design airflow, if possible.

f. Measure the airflow at all GRD’s.

g. Compute the ratio of measured airflow to design airflow for each GRD.

8.5 CONSTANT VOLUME SUPPLY SYSYTEM
8.5.1 BASIC CONSTANT VOLUME SYSTEM
For the purpose of this Procedural Standard, a basic constant volume supply system is defined as
having a single fan and connecting ductwork to the outlets and inlets. The following balancing
procedures are appropriate for a basic constant volume systems:

a. Verify the construction team responsibilities for system installation and startup as discussed in
Section 3 are complete.

b. Record unit nameplate data as described in Section 6.

c. Confirm that the correct air filters have been installed. Review the specifications to determine
if a temporary filter blockage is required to simulate partially loaded filters.

adjustable weights, they should be set to maintain the specified building static pressure. All
exhaust systems should be balanced before adjusting barometric relief dampers.

NEBB PROCEDURAL STANDARDS
SECTION 9 HYDRONIC SYSTEM
TAB PROCEDURES
9.1 INTRODUCTION
Testing, adjusting, and balancing (TAB) of HVAC systems can best be accomplished by following
systematic procedures. The NEBB TAB procedures presented in this section are recommended
current best practices for balancing HVAC systems. The procedures in this section address the
majority of the systems commonly installed. It is the responsibility of the NEBB Certified TAB Firm
to determine appropriate procedures for systems not covered in this section.

9.2 PRELIMINARY SYSTEM PROCEDURES

Each type of HVAC system is designed to meet a set of performance parameters. This usually
includes maximum heating capacity and maximum cooling capacity. The NEBB Certified TAB Firm
should normally set-up a system in its maximum capacity, or “full load” condition prior to the TAB
process. It is this condition that presents the greatest challenge to a system’s ability to meet its design
hydronic flow.

Not all system types are addressed in this section. Consult with the system designer to establish the
proper set-up conditions for specific systems.

The following TAB procedures are basic to all types of hydronic systems:

a) Verify the construction team responsibilities for system installation and startup as discussed in
Section 3 are complete.

b) Confirm that every item affecting the hydronic flow in a piping system is ready for the TAB
work, i.e. pumps started and operating, piping systems flushed, filled, vented, chemical
treatment complete, air vents installed and operating, startup strainers screens removed and
replaced with final strainers screen, etc.

c) Confirm that the automatic control devices will not adversely affect TAB operations.

d) Establish the conditions for design maximum system requirements.

e) Verify that all valves are open or set, all related systems are operating, motors are operating at
or below full load amperage ratings, and pump rotation is correct.

9.3 HYDRONIC SYSTEM MEASUREMENT METHODS


9.3.1 BASIC FLOW MEASUREMENT METHODS
The appropriate techniques for flow measurement of hydronic systems shall be determined by review
of the system(s) to be tested. There are five basic methods available for measuring the flow quantity
in a piping system:

1. with flow meters or flow fittings,


2. with calibrated balancing valves,
3. using pump curves
4. using the equipment pressure loss, or
5. by the heat transfer method

It is preferable to balance hydronic systems by the use of calibrated flow measuring devices. Flow
measurement is accomplished by the use of differential pressure meters and calibrated balancing
valves, venturis and / or ultrasonic flow meters, This balance approach is very accurate because it
eliminates compounding errors introduced by the temperature difference or equipment pressure drop
procedures. Balance by flow measurement and good preplanning is needed.

9.3.2 CALIBRATED FLOW MEASUREMENT DEVICES


The NEBB Certified TAB Firm shall verify that installation of the calibrated flow measuring devices
is in accordance with recommended practices given by the manufacturer. Calibrated flow measuring
devices include orifice plates, venturis, Pitot tubes, turbine meters, ultrasonic meters, etc. Calibrated
flow measuring devices are the preferred method of flow measurement.

NOTE: Verify that the pressure units of the differential pressure gauge and the pressure units found
on the flow charts provided by the manufacturer are identical. If pressure units are not the same ( i.e.
psi, in w.g., ft.w.g., Pa, kPa, mm, m³/h), pressure conversion will be required.

9.3.3 CALIBRATED BALANCING VALVES


The three types of calibrated balancing valves are: self adjusting, adjustable orifice, and fixed orifice valves.

Self-Adjusting Valves
A self adjusting valve / flow sensing device utilizes internal mechanisms that constantly change
internal orifice openings to compensate for varying system differential pressures while maintaining a
preset flow rate. No external adjustment is available with this device. Pressure taps, providing
measurement of valve differential pressure, allow measurements of the system flow.

The NEBB Certified TAB Firm shall verify the valve flow rating from the data tag, and verify by
differential of the valve.

Adjusting Orifice Valves


Some calibrated balancing valves are adjustable orifice devices. A chart or graph, provided by the
valve manufacturer, indicates actual flow rates at various valve positions and differential pressures.
Measurement of the actual flow requires knowledge of the valve position, valve size, and pressure
differential of the valve.

Fixed Orifice Valves


Some calibrated balancing valves are fixed orifice devices. A chart or graph, provided by the valve
manufacturer, indicates actual flow rates at various valve positions differential pressures Measurement
the actual flow requires knowledge of the valve position, valve size, and pressure differential of the
valve.
9.3.4 PUMP CURVE METHOD
Actual system flow can be determined with the use of a certified pump curve, If a certified curve is
not available, pump flow may be approximately quantified by a catalog pump curve. Pump pressure
readings shall be taken at the same test locations used by the manufacturer.

The pump impeller size is verified by measurement of the pump shut-off differential head. The shut-
off head value is compared to pump curve date to determine the size of the pump impeller. Pump
total head is determined by calculating the difference between the pump discharge pressure and
pump suction pressure. Using the total head, in appropriate units, determine the pump curve data
with data from flow meters and/or calibrated balancing valves.

9.3.5 EQUIPMENT PRESSURE LOSS METHOD


System flow rates may be calculated by using the HVAC equipment pressure loss, provided that
certified data is obtained from the equipment manufacturer indicating rated flow and pressure losses;
and provided that there is an accurate means for determining the actual equipment pressure losses.
Equipment pressure readings shall be taken at similar test locations used by the manufacturer.
Inaccurate measurements will result if dirt, debris, or scaling is present. Measurements will also be
inaccurate if the test ports are placed such that the measured pressures include pressure drops across
valves, elbows, tees, etc. If available, verify the equipment pressure loss data with data from flow
meters and / or calibrated balancing valves.

When the design criteria of the equipment and the pressure loss are known, the flow rate may be
calculated by using the following equation:

Equation 9.1 Flow2 = Flow1 x P2/P1

Where:
Flow2 = calculated flow
Flow1 = rated flow
P2 = measured differential pressure
P1 = rated differential pressure

9.3.6 HEAT TRANSFER METHOD


Approximate flow rate may be established at heating and cooling terminal units by using both air and
hydronic measured heat transfer data and the following equations. Each equation determines the total
heat transfer rate of the terminal unit at the time of testing and then the flow rate is calculated based
upon the fluid heat transfer rate (water temperature difference).

For Standard Air (sensible heat):


(US) (SI)
Equation 9.2 Q = 1.08 x cfm x ¨t Q = 1.23 x L/s x ¨t

Where:
Q = Heat flow in Btuh (Watts)
cfm = Cubic feet per minute
L/s = Liter per second
¨t = Temperature difference – oF (oC)

For water:
(US) (SI)
Equation 9.3 Q = 500 x gpm x ¨t Q(W) = 4190 x L/s x ¨t
Q(kW) = 4190 x m3/s x ¨t
Where:
Q = Heat flow in Btuh (Watts or kilowatts)
gpm = Gallon per minute
L/s = Liters per second
m3/s = Cubic meter per second
¨t = Temperature difference – oF (oC)

Note that in Equation 9.3, the value of 500 (4190) is a constant that is used specifically for water.
This constant will change when the system is other than water, such as a glycol mixture, steam, or
refrigerant.

WARNING: This method can be used to verify that some flow is actually occurring at the
measurement location. It is important to note that the temperature difference method will most likely
result in significant uncertainty in the actual flow rates. This is an unavoidable consequence of the
compounding of measurement errors in the field.

9.4 BASIC HYDRONIC SYSTEM PROCEDURES


Balancing hydronic systems may be accomplished in various ways. Two acceptable methods for
balancing systems are presented. These methods are appropriate for all hydronic systems.

Regardless of the method, the objectives remain the same and the system will be considered balanced in accordance with
NEBB procedural standard when:

a) All measured hydronic flow quantities are within ± 10 percent of the design hydronic flow
quantities unless there are reasons beyond the control of the NEBB Certified TAB Firm.
Deficiencies shall be noted in the TAB report summary.

units on each branch.

v) Re-measure all terminal units and record final values.

w) Mark or set all memory stops on all of the balancing valves so that the adjustment may be

a) Verify that all balancing, control, and isolation valves are wide open.

b) Determine total system volume by the most appropriate method.

c) Calculate the percentage of actual hydronic flow to design hydronic flow.

d) Adjust the pump volume to approximately 110% of design flow if possible.

e) Measure the flow at all balancing valves.

f) Starting at the pump, as the terminal units closest to the pump will typically by the highest,
adjust the balancing valves to a value approximately 10% below design flow requirements.

g) As the adjustment proceeds to the end of the system the remaining terminal unit flow values
will increase.

design flow requirements and at least one balancing valve is wide open.

i) If necessary, adjust the pump volume to set all terminal units at design flow ±10%.

j) Re-measure terminal units and record final values.

k) Mark or set all memory stops (see Section 1, Definitions) on all of the balancing valves so that

9.5 HYDRONIC SYSTEM BALANCING PROCEDURES


9.5.1 BASIC PROCEDURES
The following balancing procedures are basic to all types of hydronic distribution systems:

a) Verify that the construction team responsibilities for system installation and startup as
discussed in Section 3, Responsibilities, are complete.

b) Verify that all manual valves are open or preset as required, and all temperature control
(automatic) valves are in normal or desired position.

c) Verify that all automatically controlled devices in the piping or duct systems will not adversely
affect the balancing procedures.

d) With the pump(s) off, observe and record system static pressure at the pump(s).

e) Place the systems into operation, check that all air has been vented from the piping systems
and allow flow conditions to stabilize.

f) Verify that the system compression tank(s) and automatic water fill valve are operating and
set properly.

g) Record the operating voltage and amperage of the pump(s) and compare these with
nameplate ratings and thermal overload heater ratings. Verify the speed (rpm) of each pump.

h) If flow meters or calibrated balancing valves are installed, which would allow the flow rate of
the pump circuit(s) to be measured, perform the necessary work and record the data.

i) Measure the shut-off head of the operating pump by slowly closing a valve or balancing cock
in the pump discharge piping. Record the discharge and suction pressure at the pump gauge
connections and determine shut-off head. Preferably, one gauge should be used to read
differential pressure. It is important that gauge readings be corrected to the center line
elevation of the pump. Do not fully close any valves in the discharge piping of a positive
displacement pump. Severe damage may occur.

j) Using shut-off head, determine and verify each pump’s impeller size and operating curve.
Compare this data with the submittal data curves. If the test point falls on the design curve,
Proceed to the next step; if not, plot a new curve parallel with other curves on the chart, from
zero flow to maximum flow. Open the discharge balancing valve slowly to the fully open
position; record the discharge pressure , suction pressure and determine total operating head.

k) Using the total operating head, read the pump water flow from the previously established
corrected pump curve. If available, verify the pump curve data with data from flow meters
and/or calibrated balancing valves.
l) If the measured total head is greater than the design total head, the water flow will be lower
than designed.

m) If the measured total head is less than design, water flow will be greater; in which case the
pump discharge pressure should be increased by partially closing the discharge balancing
valve until the system water flow is approximately 110 percent of design.

n) Record the suction and discharge pressure and the water flow.

o) An initial recording of the flow distribution throughout the system shall be made without
making any adjustments. This can be performed by using the existing flow measuring devices,
or pressure / temperature ports, in the system, including any balancing devices at equipment
(i.e. chillers, boilers, hot water exchangers, hot water coils, chilled water coils, etc.).

p) Take a complete set of pressure drop measurements through all equipment and compare this
with submittal data readings. Determine which circuits have high or low water flow. Low
circuits may be air bound. Check and vent air if present in low flow circuits and retake
readings.

q) Compare actual total system flow with design requirements.

r) Use the proportional balancing method or the stepwise method described previously to adjust
the flow rates through the equipment.

s) After all final adjustments have been completed, perform a final check of the pressures and
the flow of all pumps and equipment. Re-measure the voltage and amperage of pump motors
and record the data.

t) After all TAB work has been completed, set all memory stops and mark or score all balancing
devices at final set points.

Standards for Reports and Forms).

9.5.2 BYPASS VALVES


Where three-way automatic valves are used, set all bypass line balancing valves to the specified values.
If there is no specified value for the bypass flow, adjust the bypassed flow to 90 percent of the design
coil flow.

9.5.3 VARIABLE FLOW HYDRONIC SYSTEMS


TAB procedures for a variable flow system are similar to those for constant flow systems. The main
difference is that a mechanism exists in the system to vary system flow in response to demand. Three
methods of controlling variable flow systems are:

1) Controlling the pump speed by a variable frequency drive.


2) Using bypass valves.
3) Allowing the pump to operate at a constant speed on its curve.
The basic steps previously outlined form the foundation for balancing a variable flow hydronic
distribution system. In this subsection, additional balancing procedures are outlined for use in
balancing variable flow hydronic distribution systems.
Variable flow systems are balanced under simulated full load system conditions. The procedures to
balance a variable flow hydronic system are:

a) Verify that the construction team responsibilities for system installation and startup as
discussed in Section 3, Responsibilities, are complete.

b) Place the system in a simulated full load condition. If diversity is present in the system,
temporary isolation of portions of the system piping and terminals units may be required.

c) Conduct the basic pump testing and flow procedures as outlined previously. If the pump is
controlled by a VFD, verify the pump is operating at its rated speed.

d) The terminal units are balanced using one of the balancing methods described previously.

e) When diversity is present in the system, upon completion of balancing procedures with a
portion of the system isolated, the isolated units are then opened and an equal capacity of
units closed.

f) Units isolated for the initial balancing procedure are then balanced to design flow rates.

g) The value of the variable flow control setpoint shall be measured and recorded. The control
contactor shall be provided with this information.

h) After all TAB work has been completed, set all memory stops and mark or score all balancing
devices at final set points.

i) Record final system data, prepare the report forms, and submit as required (see Section 5,
Standards for Reports and Forms).

Diversity is a design concept in a variable flow system that allows a system of terminal units to be
served by a pump that is rated for a fraction of the total system terminal unit capacity. Variable flow
systems with diversity may be encountered in TAB work.

The NEBB Certified TAB Firm should determine if the variable flow system has a diversity factor.
The diversity factor is an arithmetic ratio of the pumps rated hydronic flow capacity divided by a
summation of all terminal unit’s design maximum hydronic flow.

Variable systems with diversity can be the most difficult to balance satisfactorily. Any procedures
used will be a compromise, and shortcomings will appear somewhere in the system under certain
operating conditions. The NEBB Qualified TAB Supervisor should expect that some fine-tuning will
be necessary after the initial TAB work is complete.

9.5.4 PRIMARY-SECONDARY HYDRONIC SYSTEMS


Initial balancing should be restricted to the primary loop and its components. Secondary systems
should be in full flow operation during primary loop balancing.

Primary-Secondary hydronic systems are balanced as follows:


a) Verify that the construction team responsibilities for system installation and startup as
discussed in Section 3, Responsibilities, are complete.
b) Place the primary system in a simulated full load condition.

c) Conduct the basic pump testing and flow procedures on the primary system as outlined
previously.

d) Place the secondary system in a simulated full load condition. If diversity is present in the
system, temporary isolation of portions of the system piping and terminal units may be
required.

e) Conduct the basic pump testing and flow procedures on the secondary system as outlined
previously.

f) The terminal units are balanced using either the stepwise or the proportional balancing
methods described previously.

g) When diversity is present in the system, upon completion of balancing procedures with a
portion of the system isolated, the isolated units are then opened and an equal capacity of
units closed. Units isolated for the initial balancing procedures are then balanced to design
flow rates.

h) After all final adjustments are made, perform a final check of the pressures and flow of all
pumps and equipment. Re-measure the voltage and amperage of pump motors and record
the data.

i) After all TAB work has been completed, set all memory stops and mark or score all
balancing devices at final set points.

j) Record final system data, prepare the report forms, and submit as required (see Section 5,
Standards for Reports and Forms).

Primary / Secondary / Tertiary systems are balanced in a similar manner.

pressure and the flow of all pumps and equipment. Re-measure the voltage and amperage of

through the boiler and/or through the bypass line. Set the bypass line balancing valve, if
present, to maintain a constant pressure at the pump discharge with the control valve in either
position.

e) After all final adjustments have been completed, perform a final check of the hydronic
pressure and the flow of all pumps and equipment. Re-measure the voltage and amperage of

can be obtained from the manufacturer’s submittal data curves or tables.

c) Adjust the flow to design conditions at all heat transfer components as discussed in
Subsection 9.5.

d) After all final adjustments have been completed, perform a final check of the hydronic
pressure and the flow of all pumps and equipment.

e) After all TAB work has been completed, set all memory stops and mark or score all
balancing devices at final set points.

f) Record final system data, prepare the report forms, and submit as required (see Section 5,
Standards for Reports and Forms).
