FOR USE WITH COOLING UNITS

A. Boiler used in connection with refrigeration

system, must be installed so that chilled medium

is piped in parallel with heating boiler. Appropriate

valves must be used to prevent chilled medium

from entering heating boiler. See Figure 5 page 9.

B. Boiler connected to heating coils located in air

handling units where they may be exposed to

refrigerated air circulation, piping system shall

be equipped with ﬂow control valves or other

automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of

boiler water during cooling cycle.

LOW WATER TEMPERATURE AND LARGE WATER

CONTENT SYSTEM (See Figures 6 and 7, Page 10.)

Signiﬁcant condensation may form in boiler and/or

venting system if boiler is operated for long period of

time with return temperatures of less than 120° F.

Condensate is corrosive and can cause severe

damage to boiler and venting system. Minimum

design return water temperature to prevent

condensation in boiler and venting is 120°F.

Minimum high limit setting is 140°F.

Boiler used in heating system where design

water temperatures below 140°F are desired

(e.g. radiant ﬂoor heating), 4-way mixing valve

or suitable alternative is required to prevent

low temperature low return water from entering

boiler. Follow mixing valve manufacturer’s

instructions.

Boiler connected to system having large water

content (such as former gravity system), install

system bypass. See Figures 7 and 8, page 10.

Boiler water reset control is used to operate
