Table 18: Recommended Circulator Models for Apex (APX) Boilers and Alliance SL Indirect Water Heaters
Installed as Part of Near-Boiler Piping Up to 75 Ft. Equivalent Length - Domestic Hot Water Circulator
NOTES:
Note 1: All Alliance SL Coil Flow Rates are below Min Required Flow Rate thru Boiler corresponding to boiler maximum ring rate. These Alliance models can only be installed as separate heating zone off system header - see
Figure 39A and 39B for IWH piping.
Indirect Water Heater Circulator must be selected by an installer based on Alliance SL required coil ow and corresponding coil head loss shown as well as total equivalent length of such separate zone.
Note 2:
* The IWH may be installed as part of Boiler piping when boiler DHW modulation rate (input) is adjusted to closely match the IWH rated heating capacity required to satisfy DHW demand (see Figures 40A and 40B).
IMPORTANT – Shared or Isolated DHW Demand
When the IWH parameter is set to “Primary Piped”, the Sequence Master will be sequencing all required boilers to satisfy the DHW setpoint (default 180°F). Do not use the “Boiler Piped” parameter for 500 and 800 models,
unless IWH is piped off an individual boiler having DHW modulation rate (input) adjusted to closely match the IWH rated heating capacity required to satisfy DHW demand. Otherwise, piping an IWH of an individual boiler could
cause higher than normal velocities or DT’s thru that boiler because of required IWH ow. For commercial applications, it is recommended to pipe IWH’s off the common header piping. A header sensor must be installed to
prevent rapid header temperature rise when the Sequence Master is sequencing all required boilers to satisfy the DHW setpoint (default 180°F).
Note 3: Near-Boiler Piping Size shown is based on 2 to 5.5 Ft/sec velocity range to avoid potential noise and pipe erosion.
