C. Near Boiler Piping Design
Proper operation of this boiler requires that the water ow rate through it remain within the limits shown in Table 9.3 any
time the boiler is ring. At ow rates below the minimum shown, the boilers temperature rise limit function may prevent the
boiler from ring. Flow rates through the boiler in excess of the maximum shown in Table 9.3 can result in excessive noise or
erosion damage to piping.
There are two basic methods that can be used to pipe this boiler into the system. Method #1 (primary-secondary piping)
is always preferred. Additional information on hydronic system design can be found in the I=B=R Guide RHH published by
the Air-Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI).
