B. Piping System To Be Employed.
Alpine (ALP) boilers are designed to operate in a closed
loop pressurized system. Minimum pressure in the
boiler must be 12 PSI. Proper operation of the Alpine
(ALP) boiler requires that the water ow through the
boiler remain within the limits shown in Table 11, any
time the boiler is ring.

Notes: Required Flow (GPM) = ** Output (MBH) * 1000/500 * DT
** Output (MBH) - Select Value for specic Boiler Model from Tables 2A or 2B
Using boiler antifreeze will result in higher uid density and may require larger circulators.
