4: Which load profile will benefit the most from a demand driven control system?
Low flow rate with relatively few peak periods during the day.
4: Which load profile will benefit the most from a demand driven control system?
High flow rate with relatively few low flow periods during the day.
You can find the answer here >
4: Which load profile will benefit the most from a demand driven control system?
Varying flow rate with relatively often periods with full flow and no flow.
You can find the answer here >
5: Why does a cooling system that uses propylene glycol as coolant demand pumps with oversized motors?
The viscosity and density of propylene glycol is higher than tap water.
5: Why does a cooling system that uses propylene glycol as coolant demand pumps with oversized motors?
The viscosity and density of propylene glycol is lower than tap water.

5: Why does a cooling system that uses propylene glycol as coolant demand pumps with oversized motors?
Propylene glycol has a lower specific heat capacity and therefor requires a higher flow.
