Ten Things to Know About DHW Return Design
Domestic hot water (DHW) sizing and design is critical to optimize energy efficiency, reduce water waste, and improve safety. Host Christoph Lohr, P.E. returns to the webinar series to detail the engineering methods that can help designers right-size their hot water return (HWR) system. He will recap the September ’23 Coffee with Caleffi™ webinar (Ten Things to Know About DHW Return Design) and discuss three critical items regarding DHW return design:
- Balancing Valve Selection Impact on HWR System Sizes
- The Equations that Govern Right-Sizing Hot Water Return Systems (Hardy Cross Methodology)
- Pipe Routing and Plumbing Fixture impact on Hot Water Return System Design
