BASE-RAY®HYDRONICS

Types of Systems

Hydronic Heating Systems are classi¿ed according to the pip- ing arrangement and heating medium employed. BASE-RAY is very versatile in that it may be used in almost all types of systems as noted below:

1.Series Loop Forced Circulation Hot Water

2.One-Pipe Forced Circulation Hot Water

3.Two-Pipe Reverse Return Gravity or Forced Circulation Hot Water

4.Two-Pipe Steam or Vapor.

It is not recommended that BASE-RAY be used in a One-Pipe Steam System.

System Description

1.Series Loop is a forced circulation hot water heating system with the BASE-RAY Assemblies connected so that all the water Àowing through a circuit passes through each series- connected Assembly in the circuit. Thus, the Assemblies serve as portions of the main.

2.One-Pipeis a forced circulation hot water heating system utilizing one continuous main from boiler supply to boiler return. BASE-RAY Assemblies are connected to this pipe or main by two smaller pipes known as branches. When connecting these branches to the main, one of the standard

tees is replaced by a special tee frequently called a one-pipe ¿tting. These one-pipe ¿ttings cause a portion of the water Àowing through the main to pass through the BASE-RAY Assemblies and back to the main again.

3.Two-Pipe Reverse Return is a gravity or forced circulation hot water heating system utilizing one main to carry heated water from the boiler to the BASE-RAY Assemblies and a second main to carry the cooled water from the Assemblies back to the boiler. The Assemblies are connected to the return main in the reverse order from that in which they are connected to the supply main. Very few designers use this type of system for residential applications, since there is no difference between the heating qualities of this system and the other two hot water systems.

4.Two-Pipe Steam or Vapor Systems are steam systems in which each BASE-RAY Assembly is provided with two piping connections, and where steam and condensate Àow in separate mains and branches. The Vapor system differs from the low pressure system only in the type of air valve used.
