SECTION IV: WATER BOILER PIPING AND TRIM

NOTICE

Failure to pipe boiler as specified in this manual may result in excessive system noise, water line fluctuations and water carry over.

A. EVALUATE THE EXISTING WATER SYSTEM.

Design a piping system and install boiler which will prevent oxygen contamination of boiler water and frequent water additions.

1.There are many possible causes of oxygen contamination such as:

a.Addition of excessive make-up water as a result of system leaks.

b.Absorption through open tanks and fittings.

c.Oxygen permeable materials in the distribution system.

2.In order to insure long product life, oxygen sources must be eliminated. This can be accomplished by taking the following measures:

a.Repairing system leaks to eliminate the need for addition of make-up water.

b.Eliminating open tanks from the system.

c.Eliminating and/or repairing fittings which allow oxygen absorption.

d.Use of non-permeable materials in the distribution system.

e.Isolating the boiler from the system water by installing a heat exchanger.

WARNING

System supply and return piping must be connected to correct boiler pipe.

Burnham recommends siz ing the system circulator to supply sufficient flow (GPM) to allow a 20°F temperature differential in the system. When siz ing the system circulator, the pressure drop of all radiators, baseboard and radiant tubing and all connecting piping must be considered.

CAUTION

Maintain minimum ½ inch clearance from hot water piping to combustible materials.

B.CONNECT SYSTEM SUPPLY AND RETURN PIPING TO BOILER. See Figures 13A, 13B and 13C. Also, consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guides.

1.If this boiler is used in connection with refrigeration systems, the boiler must be installed so that the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the heating boiler using appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium from entering the boiler. See Figure 12. Also, consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guides.

2.If this boiler is connected to heating coils located in air handling units where they may be exposed to refrigerated air, the boiler piping must be equipped with flow control valves to prevent gravity circulation of boiler water during the operation of the cooling system.

3.If boiler is used with an Alliance™ Indirect-Fired Domestic Water Heater, install the Alliance™ as a separate heating zone. Refer to the Alliance™ Installation, Operating, and Service Instructions for additional information.

4.Use a boiler bypass if the boiler is to be operated in a system which has a large volume or excessive radiation where low boiler water temperatures may be encountered (i.e. converted gravity circulation system, etc.) The bypass should be the same size as the supply and return lines with valves located in the bypass and return line as illustrated in Figures 13A, 13B and 13C in order to regulate water flow for maintenance of higher boiler water temperature.

WARNING

The use of a low water cut-off device, while not required unless radiation level is below the boiler, is highly recommended.

If a low water cut-off is required, it must be mounted in the system piping above the boiler. The minimum safe water level of a hot water boiler is just above the highest water containing cavity of the boiler; that is, a hot water boiler must be full of water to operate safely.

5.If it is required to perform a long term pressure test of the hydronic system, the boiler should first be isolated to avoid a pressure loss due to the escape of air trapped must first be removed from the boiler.
