3 System or zone circulator

7 System temperature valves (see instructions to the left for adjusting valves)

8 Blend temperature gauge

9 Relief valve

10 Automatic air vent (with diaphragm-type expan- sion tank), or connect to tank fitting (closed-type expansion tank). DO NOT use an automatic air vent when using closed-type expansion tank. It would allow air to leave the system, causing waterlogging of the expansion tank.

11 Fill valve

12 Diaphragm-type or bladder-type expansion tank, if used (For closed-type expansion tank, pipe from top of air separator to tank fitting as in Figure 17, page 21.)

Prevent chilled water from entering boiler

Install boiler so that chilled medium is piped in parallel with the heating boiler. Use appropriate valves to prevent

chilled medium from entering boiler. See Figure 25 for

typical installation of balancing valve and check valve.

If boiler is connected to heating coils located in air han- dling units where they can be exposed to refrigerated air, use flow control valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity circulation during cooling cycle.
