secondary loop arrangement.) Refer to table below for
minimum boiler circulation rates.
5) Minimum over-pressure at the boiler:
For outlet temperatures up to the maximum of 185 deg F (85 deg
C), a minimum operating pressure of 30 psig (2.1 bar) is required.
6) pH level should be maintained between 8.3 and 9.5

Notes/Limitations:
1. Maximum firing rate determined by ClearFire CFC - Glycol Firing Rate Limitation chart (below).
Maximum high fire blower speed should be set according to chart.
2. Glycol concentration limit of 25%-50%. Minimum required system operating pressure is 30
psig.
3. Maximum system operating temperature of 180 ˚F. Maximum ΔT of 40˚.
4. Circulation rates correlate with boiler output based on 92% nominal efficiency.
5. Standard altitude (<1000' ASL). Contact C-B for high altitude applications.
6. Pumps should be sized based on system design ΔT and minimum required flow rates.
7. At minimum firing rate, the minimum circulation rate should correspond to the boiler's turndown.
