Sorry. You did not pass the 69 - The Grundfos Distributed Pumping Course test this time
Achieved badges:
How would you rate this course?
1: How does distributed pumping ensure minimum flow over each chiller?
By having a differential pressure sensor installed across each chiller
1: How does distributed pumping ensure minimum flow over each chiller?
By running with maximum flow at maximum load
You can find the answer here >
1: How does distributed pumping ensure minimum flow over each chiller?
By ensuring the primary pump is larger than in a conventional system
You can find the answer here >
2: What is the benefit of aligning primary side flow with secondary side flow?
To ensure distributed pumps never miss water on the suction side
You can find the answer here >
2: What is the benefit of aligning primary side flow with secondary side flow?
To avoid increasing pressure in the bypass pipe
You can find the answer here >
2: What is the benefit of aligning primary side flow with secondary side flow?
To avoid or minimise the ‘low’ Delta T syndrome
3: Why must low-pressure non-return valves be installed for each cooling loop with AHU’s?
You don’t need non-return valves – intelligent pumps make all valves redundant
You can find the answer here >
3: Why must low-pressure non-return valves be installed for each cooling loop with AHU’s?
To avoid backflow in case the AHU unit is out of operation
3: Why must low-pressure non-return valves be installed for each cooling loop with AHU’s?
You only need non-return valves for proportional pressure installations
You can find the answer here >
4: Why is coil flow always correct in a distributed pumping system?
Because it uses large variable speed-controlled primary pumps
You can find the answer here >
4: Why is coil flow always correct in a distributed pumping system?
Because Magna 3 pump speed is modulated based on terminal unit load
4: Why is coil flow always correct in a distributed pumping system?
Because the system runs with maximum flow at maximum load
You can find the answer here >
5: With a single dedicated pump for each terminal unit, which control mode is used?
Proportional pressure
You can find the answer here >
5: With a single dedicated pump for each terminal unit, which control mode is used?
Proportional pressure or constant temperature – doesn’t matter
You can find the answer here >
5: With a single dedicated pump for each terminal unit, which control mode is used?
Constant temperature
6: How does the MPC controller protect chillers from freezing?
By fulfilling the chiller setpoint signal
You can find the answer here >
6: How does the MPC controller protect chillers from freezing?
By ensuring minimum flow over the active chille
