ASize secondary boiler pump GPM based on following formulas:
Gross output
= GPM
Temperature rise x 500
Temperature rise, °F = 230°F – Return water temperature
Gross output is in Btuh.
Calculate only secondary piping circuit resistance. Boiler resistance will be about equal to three 90 degree elbows of secondary pipe size. Operate each boiler and its secondary pump from a
BPrimary pump GPM and head calculation should not include secondary boiler circuits. Primary pump can operate continuously during heating season.
CSpace 12" maximum or as close as practical.
DCheck valve.
EHand valve.
Expansion tank(s), relief valves and other accessories are required but not shown.
