System Piping - Zone Circulators
Connect the PERFORMANCE PLUS to the system piping as shown in Fig. 12 page 24 when zoning with zone circulators. The circulator supplied with the PERFOR- MANCE PLUS should not be used for a heat zone. It must supply only the prima- ry loop.
Install a separate circulator for each zone of space heating.
To control the zone circulators refer to Fig. 34, page 45.
NOTICE
To ensure adequate flow rate through the PERFORMANCE PLUS, maintain a minimum 1 inch diameter on the system piping connecting the unit to and from the primary / secondary connection.
System Piping - Zone Valves
Connect the PERFORMANCE PLUS to the system piping as shown in Fig. 13 page 24 when zoning with zone valves. The prima- ry / secondary piping ensures the priority is given to the production of domestic hot water.
To control the system circulator refer to Fig. 33, page 44.
Sizing Primary Piping
See Figure 12 through 15, pages 24 - 25, for recommended piping arrangements based on various applications. In all dia- grams, the space heating system is isolated from the PERFORMANCE PLUS using primary / secondary piping connections.
Size the piping and system components required in the space heating system using recognized design methods.
