Balancing HIU projects

Giacomini, commissioning, balancing

Giacomini has introduced a balancing-valve set to complement its HIUs (heat interface units) for multi-dwelling properties. These valve sets are designed to optimise the efficiency of communal heating systems by carefully balancing the heating network throughout.

Installing these balancing valves on each return branch of the main pipe network enables the flow to be set and regulated for each branch.

There is the option of a bypass configuration to ensure constant flow around the entire pipe system.
