Pump Sizing for Use with Glycol
The use of glycol results in a greater head loss due to its higher viscosity compared to water. Heat transfer is also reduced as the glycol
concentration increases. The corrected flow rate and head loss values below must be used when sizing the boiler pump in order to maintain
similar performance as using 100% water for the heating system. Refer to the chart below.
