2: What component does a Grundfos distributed pumping solution make redundant?
Balancing and control valves
3: Why is limited space for HVAC installations an issue for building projects?
If too little space is used, you have high operation and service costs; and using too much space reduces the floor area that can be rented out
3: Why is limited space for HVAC installations an issue for building projects?
If the required amount of space is planned for at the design stage, this will not be a problem – as long as it matches the size of the installation

3: Why is limited space for HVAC installations an issue for building projects?
This is an issue that can be resolved by renting out the installation floor area to the service provider

4: A distributed pumping system is self-balancing – what does this mean?
No need to integrate a primary pump into the building’s management system
You can find the answer here >
4: A distributed pumping system is self-balancing – what does this mean?
No time-consuming balancing and commissioning process is required
4: A distributed pumping system is self-balancing – what does this mean?
No need to manually check return and control valves – they adjust automatically

5: Why is installing a Grundfos MIXIT mixing loop solution a good idea?
You get the security of one supplier – but you still need to ensure capability between system components in your installation

5: Why is installing a Grundfos MIXIT mixing loop solution a good idea?
You reduce complexity and time spent on selecting and sizing and MIXIT is up to 25% more cost effective than other solutions
6: Can Grundfos products be monitored and controlled via a BMS system?
No, Grundfos pumps provide load adaptive performance, so no external control is possible
