Usually the hot water pump flow rate is sized based on the heat loss generated from the pipe in BTU/Hr loss,

Thus it is not only sized to avoid heat transfer from the pipe but to maintain the flow rate required by the pump at which it is sized.

  1. Prevent heat loss from the pipes between the water heater and faucets.
  2. Save energy and decrease your heating bill.
  3. Keep pipes from freezing in the winter.
  4. Prevent burns when hot water pipes are exposed.
  5. Control condensation, particularly in humid climates with cold water supplies.

To avoid heat loss because heat transfered from higher to low and if water temperature is high then heat will transfer towards medium of lower temperature.result heat loss will be more and required more energy to reheat the same ( Incase of circulation system). If it's direct supply then finally will not be received desired temp of fluid.

is consist of one condenser and compressor  with more than one evaporator and indoor units 2-  VRF piping network including distributers  and controls for refrigerant flow 3-  VRF  can serve far indoor up to 200 ft distance between indoor and out door 4- VRF compressor is more powerful 5- VRF over all power consumption is less
