2. Hydronics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronics

   In general, valves nearest to the boiler should vent the slowest, and valves furthest from the boiler should vent the fastest. [ citation needed ] Ideally, steam should reach each valve and close each and every valve at the same time, so that the system can work at maximal efficiency; this condition is known as a "balanced" system.

3. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

   Flow control valves, a type of automatic control valve, regulate fluid flow by maintaining a predetermined flow rate, independent of variations in system pressure. These valves achieve this using pressure-compensated mechanisms, which automatically adjust the valve opening to ensure a steady flow rate.

4. Automatic balancing valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_balancing_valve

   In variable-flow hydronic systems, reducing pump speed or staging of pumps with boilers and chillers to suit part-load conditions is an energy efficient method of control. [5] VAV (variable air flow) systems meet the needs of large modern commercial-use buildings, with internal spaces divided into open-plan areas.

5. Control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

   A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, temperature, and liquid level.

6. Zone valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_valve

   A zone valve is a specific type of valve used to control the flow of water or steam in a hydronic heating or cooling system.. In the interest of improving efficiency and occupant comfort, such systems are commonly divided up into multiple zones. [1]

7. Hydronic balancing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydronic_balancing

   Hydronic balancing, also called hydraulic balancing, is the process of optimizing the distribution of water in a building's hydronic heating or cooling system by equalizing the system pressure. In a balanced system every radiator is set to receive the proper amount of fluid in order to provide the intended indoor climate at optimum energy ...
