Recommend Solutions

Whenever you work to solve problems on a defective hydronic system, you can use the steps included in this article to improve the performance of most systems. However, the best hydronic system diagnostics require test ports and balancing values to measure and calculate system performance.

Since you aim to improve the hydronic system, always include recommendations to install test ports and balancing valves in your final report. This educates your customer and reduces future liability.

Once you install test ports and balancing valves, you can complete more accurate diagnostics and make additional recommendations to improve the system further.

About The Author

Rob Falke

Rob co-founded National Comfort Institute with Dominick Guarino in the early 1990?s and leads the technical training and curriculum development teams of the company. NCI?s training mission is driven by Rob?s vision that the performance of an HVAC system can be effectively measured and diagnosed under live operating conditions in the field. NCI training enables contractors to measure, rate, diagnose and improve a system?s rating or score. This drives the constant evolution of NCI curriculum, training methods and programs and enables contractors to dismiss their competitors as they deliver the best performing HVAC system in the country. Rob?s continuing role is to set the direction for the company?s training programs, continually improve NCI?s measurement methods, forms and procedures, and explore new technologies to help improve the quality, speed and effectiveness of our methods and training technologies.
