Table 6 - Temperature Rise, Friction Ft, and Flow Rate
The boiler heat exchanger does have a pressure drop which must be considered in system design. Refer to the graph in Table 4
for pressure drop through the boiler heat exchanger.
The chart below represents the combined ow rates and pipe sizes when using multiple boilers to design the manifold system
for the primary circuit. To size, simply add the number of boilers and the required ow rates for the system design temperature.
