User:RandomCombinationOfWords/Heating plant

The heating plant can employ a multitude of mediums to transfer the heat of combustion into the space that is to be heated. Low-Pressure Hot Water (LPHW), Medium-Pressure Hot Water (MPHW), High-Pressure Hot Water(HPHW), and Steam are the main heating mediums in service. These then can be run through a multitude of different heat exchangers.

Main considerations of efficiency are done in the design phase of the building. However most plants are not brand new and are being upgraded into more efficient versions.

Depending on the use of VFD and control systems (scheme/ different wording) will impact the amount of electrical power needed to run the pumps.
