NOTICE
Increasing the boiler DOE heating capacity above the values
listed in Table 3 will not increase the rating of the water heater.
2. Circulator Sizing Refer to Table 5 for the
corresponding pressure drop through the coil for the given
model. Calculate the pressure drop of all straight pipe and
fittings on the supply and return of the water heater at the
selected flow rate. Add the piping/fitting pressure drop to
the pressure drop through the water heater coil.
Select a circulator that will provide an appropriate flow
rate at the combined pressure drop.
SYSTEM ZONE CONTROL
The indirect-fired water heater must be installed as a zone
separate from the space heating system. The domestic hot
water zone’s piping and circulator must be sized for a
minimum flow rate with all zones in use and a maximum flow
rate with only the water heater in use. For this reason, the
preferred method of zone control is with circulators.
1. Circulators With space heating zones using
circulators, the indirect-fired heater should be added as
an additional zone with a circulator.
2. Zone Valves Select a valve with a low-pressure drop
to assure adequate flow through the water heater.
3. Hybrid The space heating zone can be zoned using
zone valves and the indirect-fired heater zoned with a
circulator.
DOMESTIC HOT WATER PRIORITY
Two options are available, Priority and Non-Priority.
1. Priority Demand for space heating is interrupted or
postponed until the domestic hot water demand is
satisfied. This option provides maximum delivery of
domestic hot water. Priority is recommended when:
