Test results
Congratulations. You have passed the test and completed the 29 - Introduction to temperature control
Achieved badges:
Q: How have temperature control systems traditionally been regulated?
A: Constant speed pumps and throttling valves regulating the amount of water entering the heat exchanger.
Q: How have temperature control systems traditionally been regulated?
A: Constant pressure valves regulating the amount of water entering the heat exchanger.
Q: How have temperature control systems traditionally been regulated?
A: Three way valves controlling the amount of water entering the pump.
Q: Which temperature control systems hold the greatest potential for optimisation?
A: Temperature controlled pump in single circulation systems.
Q: Which temperature control systems hold the greatest potential for optimisation?
A: Unregulated temperature control systems that do not adapt operation according to the load.
Q: Which temperature control systems hold the greatest potential for optimisation?
A: Three way valve Regulated temperature control systems that adapts operation according to the load.
Q: What is the most efficient and simple way of controlling heating, cooling and refrigeration systems?
A: Intelligent three way valves controlling the amount of water to the pump and heat exchanger accordingly.
Q: What is the most efficient and simple way of controlling heating, cooling and refrigeration systems?
A: Intelligent pumps equipped with temperature sensors that measure the outlet temperature and signal the pump to regulate its flow accordingly – without the use of valves.
Q: What is the most efficient and simple way of controlling heating, cooling and refrigeration systems?
A: Thermos element three way valves controlling the amount of water to the heat exchangers.
Q: Which component is often ‘the weakest link’ in centrifugal pumps?
A: Shaft seal

A: O-rings
Q: Which component is often ‘the weakest link’ in centrifugal pumps?
A: Flange
Q: What is the ratio between the capital investment and running costs of a temperature control system?
A: 20:1
Q: What is the ratio between the capital investment and running costs of a temperature control system?
A: 1:1
Q: What is the ratio between the capital investment and running costs of a temperature control system?
A: 1:20
Q: Why does a cooling system that uses propylene glycol as coolant demand pumps with oversized motors?
A: The viscosity and density of propylene glycol is higher than tap water.
Q: Why does a cooling system that uses propylene glycol as coolant demand pumps with oversized motors?
A: The viscosity and density of propylene glycol is lower than tap water.
Q: Why does a cooling system that uses propylene glycol as coolant demand pumps with oversized motors?
A: Propylene glycol has a lower specific heat capacity and therefor requires a higher flow.

A: 1-12 months
Q: What is the expected payback time of an investment in system optimisation?
A: 1-5 years
Q: What is the expected payback time of an investment in system optimisation?
A: System optimization is rarely economical valuable but should be done due to environmental concerns
