Grundfos Distributed Pumping is a revolutionary HVAC pump design.
Distributed Pumping replaces traditional control valves with intelligent pumps that automatically balance the system by delivering the exact flow and precise pressure only when and where needed. With this decentralized pumping you get increased occupant comfort and an energy efficient pump system that is always balanced.
The future HVAC pump is here today.
Why Distributed Pumping Makes a Difference
Traditional HVAC pump systems do not allow for sensitive control. They take little account of building occupancy levels and cannot manage air conditioning in different zones. Levels are the same for everyone, unless there is direct intervention.
With distributed pumping, there are no valves that need to be individually adjusted and no need to carefully make changes to how the system is balanced. These are replaced with decentralized pumps that can easily be throttled to provide optimum comfort across the network and to reflect how the building is being used.
Instant adaptation to user need and perfect balancing. Distributed pumping is the answer to improved comfort – and HVAC energy saving.

See how a Platinum Certified Building saved 54% in pumping energy with Grundfos Distributed Pumping
Most chilled-water systems use large centralized pumps and chillers controlled by valves. These valves waste loads of energy and make it difficult and time-consuming to balance the system correctly. Distributed Pumping systems for commercial buildings is a paradigm shift towards decentralized pumps that can save energy significantly and create a more consistent, comfortable climate throughout the building.
54% energy savings
Grundfos Distributed Pumping helped Ngee Ann, a large university building in Singapore, increase Delta T by 28% and reduce total pump energy by 54% – all while providing optimal comfort for building users.
