Piping snow melt systems or combination snow melt/ space heating systems

Combination snow melt/space heating systems will have widely varying system return temperatures. So these systems require automatic return water temperature as shown in Figure 15a (zone-valve zoning) or Figure 15b (circulator zoning).

Select an automatic temperature control valve or motor- operated valve which can be adjusted to provide a return water temperature of at least 60 °F. Any setting higher than 60 °F will also be acceptable.

Zone-valve zoning — The suggested piping uses a separate circulator for system circulation to assure good temperature distribution in the system when the return water temperature is low.

Circulator zoning — The GV internal circulators must not be removed. Provide a separate circulator for each zone.

The return water temperature to the boiler must be at least 60 °F. Provide and apply means to regulate the return temperature. Failure to do so can result in boiler control operation problems, causing possible significant property damage.
