A criterion and procedure for balancing differential-pressure-bypass chilled/heating water systems is described. Theoretical analysis has been carried out which suggests that the proposed criterion is feasible. The drawback is that slight oversizing of coils is required. Advantages are simplification in balancing procedure, and achieving a higher operating differential temperature across the mains than the system design value which would allow chillers/boilers to operate to their design thermal output.
