Test results
Congratulations. You have passed the test and completed the 8 - Water boosting in commercial buildings
Achieved badges:
Q: Does a zone divided system require pressure relief valves?
A: No
Q: Does a zone divided system require pressure relief valves?
A: Yes, if the pressure from the main exceeds 10 bar
Q: Does a zone divided system require pressure relief valves?
A: Yes, they will serve as a safety valve in case of pump failure
Q: What is the purpose of pressure relief valves?
A: They reduce the pressure on the lower floors in single booster systems
Q: What is the purpose of pressure relief valves?
A: They reduce the pressure from the city mains at the entrance of the building
Q: What is the purpose of pressure relief valves?
A: They are used in high-rise buildings of more than 20 storeys to reduce pressure on the top floors
Q: What is the purpose of a booster pump?
A: To increase water pressure
Q: What is the purpose of a booster pump?
A: To reduce lime sediments in steel pipes
Q: What is the purpose of a booster pump?
A: To increase water pressure in plate heat exchangers used for hot water production
Q: Why are pressure relief valves not required in an intelligently designed boosting solution?
A: There is no excessive pressure in the system
Q: Why are pressure relief valves not required in an intelligently designed boosting solution?
A: The booster manifold is made of stainless steel and therefor requires no braze valves
Q: Why are pressure relief valves not required in an intelligently designed boosting solution?
A: As you typically have a break tank, pressure relief valves are not needed
Q: How is it possible to make sure that an entire system performs at the best efficiency point at all times?
A: An intelligent controller
Q: How is it possible to make sure that an entire system performs at the best efficiency point at all times?
A: Correctly sized pipes
Q: How is it possible to make sure that an entire system performs at the best efficiency point at all times?
A: The right number of pumps
Q: Where are the booster sets in a zone divided system placed?
A: In the basement of the building
Q: Where are the booster sets in a zone divided system placed?
A: Next to the tap at the critical spot
Q: Where are the booster sets in a zone divided system placed?
A: In a pit right in front of the building
