Design Procedure for Two-Pipe System
1. Determine individual heat loads.
2. Select desired overall temperature drop of systems
(∆T); i.e. 20°F (11°C), 30°F (17°C) or 40°F (22°C).
3. Compute loop fl ow rate GPM from:
GPM = Q / 500 / ∆T
4. Use Figure 10 or the Conversion Factors in Table 9 to
determine output of radiator models in case of lower
supply temperatures.
5. Use the Pressure Drop Chart on pages 30-31 as a
guide to set the fl ow setter valve for each radiator to
ensure proper fl ow through each radiator. Adjust fl ow
setter valves as needed based on system
performance. Close down the fl ow setter on “hot”
radiators by dialing in a lower setting on the adjustment
ring, or adjust the fl ow setter to a higher setting for
“cool” radiators.
6. Size piping based on system fl ow rate; size circulator
based on fl ow rate and overall system pressure drop.
