VIII INDIRECT & TANKLESS WATER HEATER PIPING

INDIRECT WATER HEATER PIPING

All KSZ series boilers are equipped with tappings to permit the connection of a Crown Mega-Stor, or other indirect water heater. In this type of system, hot boiler water is drawn from below the water line and passed through the heat exchanger in the indirect water heater. This section describes boiler-side piping only. Refer to the indirect water heater instruction manual for domestic water piping. The components in this system and their functions are as follows:

1)Circulator - Mount the circulator as shown in Figure 12A. The circulator should be located as low and as close to the boiler as practical. Do not install valves, or other devices having a significant pressure drop, between the boiler and the circulator inlet. All piping between the boiler and the circulator inlet should be 1”, regardless of the size of the piping required in the rest of the system. See Figure 17 in Part X for wiring information.

2)“Y” Strainer - Install a “Y” strainer to prevent sediment from accumulating inside the indirect water heater.

3)Check Valve - Prevents gravity circulation through the indirect water heater when the boiler is responding to a call for heat.

4)Boiler Limit Control - Use a SPST break-on-rise temperature limit control such as the Honeywell L4006A. Do not set the limit above 180F as doing so may cause the boiler to steam when there is no call for heat. See Figure 17 for wiring information.

5)Valves and Unions - Install shut-off valves, drain valves, and unions in locations that will facilitate maintenance of the system. Do not install any valves between the boiler and circulator inlet.
