RSVP FOR THE MAY TECHNICAL CLASS
HOT WATER RECIRCULATION WORKSHOP
Date: 5/10/25, 8 AM-4 PM
Presented by: ERIC KNAUTH, FASPE, LEED AP, PE, ASSE 6060
Content:
Domestic hot water systems are a complex part of plumbing systems. Engineers and designers must design these systems to deliver hot water safely and efficiently, balancing temperature, scalding risks, pathogens, and energy efficiency. This course aims to answer questions about these challenges and provide a comprehensive understanding of domestic hot water system design.
By completing this course, the design professional will be able to:
1. Discuss the Basics: temperatures, Legionella, scalding, flow patterns.
2. Identify different types of balancing valves and circulation pumps.
3. Identify how much flow do you need in a hot water circulation system and how to calculate the flow rate.
4.Determine the size of circulation piping is needed and how do you calculate the head on the circulation pump?
5. Review hot water circulation with multiple pressure zones systems. How to avoid the pitfalls of improperly designed and/or installed systems.

RSVP FOR THE JUNE MONTHLY MEETING
Harry Warren, Inc.
Date: 6/24/25
Presented by: Tony Furst with Taco Pumps
Content:
Recirculation Pumps, sizing, changing codes, single speed vs multispeed. Demystifying Pumping Curves
Pump curves are a critical piece in the selection and application of pumps, regardless of whether they are for domestic water service, fire service or HVAC. Are you confused by the terms “design flow” or “rated flow”? What about variable speed curves? NPSHr and NPSHa? What does pump efficiency mean? How about “rated BHP versus Peak Power BHP”? What effect do specific gravity and density have on a pump curve, what about fluid temperature? Being able to read and understand pump curves and use the information to get the best pump selection as well as being able to use the curve to verify performance is a critical skill for providing the most energy efficient and low maintenance systems. At the conclusion of this class the attendees will have a thorough understanding of pump curves for all applications.
