generator type boilers establish temperature rises. The deciding factor in choice of boiler temperature rise relates to the boiler inlet temperature. Boiler outlet, minus system temperature drop, is boiler inlet temperature. THE BOILER TEMPERATURE RISE SHOULD NOT RAISE THE OUTLET TEMPERATURE UP TO THE MAXIMUM 250°F (115°C) SETTING OF THE LIMIT CONTROL.

If inlet temperature (plus temperature rise) of any boiler on the group exceeds 240°F (115°C), that boiler and all downstream boilers will shut down (cycle on and off).

B. Commercial Boiler Replacements

Application of LINEAR-TEMP to a commercial boiler replacement with an old multiple pump installation is an excellent way to modernize the system. The A. O. Smith boiler(s) should be installed on a pipe loop with a separate circulating pump. Use table 7 to determine pipe sizes and operating ranges.

The following illustration shows how the system headers should be connected to pipe loop that is installed with the replacement

boiler(s). Make-up water connections, and accessories are not shown.

Supply and return headers of the old system should be connected to the boiler loop with a pair of tees set close together. The boiler loop pump and the boiler(s) should be wired to operate only when any of the system pumps are in operation. The number of zone pumps that may be in operation at any particular time will take their required flow rate out from the first tee in the boiler piping. This water will be circulated through the proper branches from the supply header to the zones calling for heat. The water will be brought back to the return header and then into the second tee in the boiler pipe loop. There will be no conflict between the boiler pump and the zone pumps when the two tees in the boiler loop are placed close together.

Normal use of flow control valves is required to prevent cross circulation of zones as with any multiple pump system.

Large systems with multiple boilers should include main water temperature controls (with or without outdoor reset) to sequence the boiler on and off, in relation to the load on the system.
