[bldg-sim] Pump location

[Jeff Haberl]

Hello:
 
We've got data on lots of pumps...including the REJ building, where the
whole physical plant was put up 2 stories in the air to reduce pumping
power, and the cooling towers placed directly on top of the plant to further
reduce pumping energy, or at least this was the design intent.

I am looking for information (articles, research papers, case studies) on
the effect of the location of the pump relative to a plate and frame heat
exchanger in a closed piping system.  Some of the issues are (1) the
vertical height of the piping system (1000' to 2000'), how high can you go,
(2) pumping thru HX, (3) pumping away from HX, (4) pump and HX located at
bottom of system, (5) pump and HX at top of system, and (6) pump start up.
What are the issues when the HX is replaced with other equipment such as
chillers and boilers?
