Title: How to Calculate Closed-Loop Hydronic Pump Head

Closed-loop hydronic pump head calculation diagram showing pump, supply and return piping, coil, valves, strainer, air separator, and water-flow direction.

Selecting a hydronic pump requires more than entering a building height and choosing a circulator. In a closed-loop chilled-water or heating-water system, the pump must overcome the friction and component losses along the critical circuit while maintaining the required design flow. This article explains a practical method for calculating preliminary closed-loop hydronic pump head and […]
