Abstract

Systems that convey heat to or from a conditioned space or process with hot or chilled water are frequently called hydronic systems. The water flows through piping that connects a boiler, water heater, or chiller to suitable terminal heat transfer units located at the space or process. These can be classified by: operating temperature, flow generation, pressurisation, piping and pumping arrangement. Classified by flow generation, hydronic heating systems may be gravity systems or forced systems. Gravity systems are seldom used today and are therefore not discussed in this chapter.
