System conditions
1. Two-pipe systems with thermostatic/
zone valves
• Flow head > 13.1 ft (high head
systems)
• Very long distribution lines
• Heavily throttled branch shut-off
valves
• Branch differential pressure
regulator
• High pressure losses in those
system parts through which the
total volume flows (boilers/
refrigerating machines, poss. heat
exchangers, distribution line)
2. Primary circuits with high pressure
losses
1. Two-pipe systems with thermostatic/
zone valves and high consumer
authority
• Flow head ≤ 6.6 ft (low head
systems)
• Converted gravity systems
• Retrofitting to large temperature
spread (e.g. long-distance energy)
• Low pressure losses in the system
parts through which the total
volume flows (boilers/refrigerating
machines, poss. heat exchangers,
distribution line)
2. Primary circuits with low pressure
losses
3. Underfloor heating systems with
thermostatic or zone valves
4. Single-pipe systems with
thermostatic or branch shut-off
valves
