Variable
Flow Heat Transfer Systems (HTS-VF)
The Model HTS-VF, Variable Flow Heat Transfer System is a UL-Listed,
factory assembled and tested system used in building hydronic heating
systems. The HTS-VF provides significant power savings by automatically
controlling the speed of system pump(s) based on the actual building
system demand. Typically, Differential Pressure Transmitters are placed
across the building heating system zone loops. The transmitters signal
to the HTS-VF System Controller which controls a Variable Frequency
Drive for each pump to the appropriate speed. Additionally, the HTS-VF
can be controlled by system load (BTU/hr) which utilize a flowmeter
and RTD's; system pressure; or system temperature by customizing the
controller to individual building requirements. The HTS-VF can be
configured in any of the EnviroSep Heat Transfer System offerings:
A.
HTS Standard Heat Transfer System
B. HTS-ITC Heat Transfer System w/ Integrated Temperature Control
C. HTS-NP Negative Pressure Heat Transfer System
D. HTS-HWB Heat Transfer System w/ Hot Water Boiler
Consequently,
when configured with the HTS-NP, the Variable Flow Heat Transfer System
maximizes energy and power savings. Hot water is supplied at a standard
180oF and is recirculated through the building system by use of VFD-controlled
centrifugal pumps which are sized to meet specific building requirements.
The Model HTS-VF includes a UL-listed System Controller with single-point
power connection which is prewired to all electrical sources. Variable
Frequency Drives may incorporate Manual or Automatic bypasses. Each
system is custom-engineered and designed to meet specific requirements.
All systems are UL-listed, fabricated and welded per ASME Section IX,
and are Hydrostatically tested prior to shipment. The best feature of
the HTS-VF is the ability to provide a cost reduction to building owners.
Additionally, this fully integrated, ready-to-install system speeds
installation and start-up of building hydronic heating systems which
provide significant savings to contractors, engineers, and building
owners.

Notes:
1.
Savings are based on max. potential savings at max. pump capacity
on 8600 hr./yr. of continuous operation.
2.
Power costs at $0.10/kW-hr.
3.
Savings assume continuous operation of one (1) 25 Hp Pump.
4.
Savings based on approx. calculations.
