With the provisions in relating codes, states that normal makeup water pumps and accident makeup water pumps should be set separately for a closed HVAC water system. Normal makeup water pumps provide makeup water in normal operation with the water flow rate of one percent of system water volume or of two percent of circulating water quantity of a heating system, applying variable frequency control at the same time. There should not be too many accident makeup water pumps in a system, but the number of the pump should not be less than two. It is unnecessary to install spare pumps for normal and accident makeup water pumps.
