SYSTEM
CONSIDERATIONS
1.
It
is
most
important that the f
low
ra
te sho
wn
in
Table 4
corresponding
to
the heating output that has b
een
selected
is achiev
ed
and a suitable by·pass
must
be
included as
describ
ed
in Section 9.
2. For circu
it
design purposes the pressure drop across the
appliance should be obtained
ft
om

the
press

there is no need
to
take into account the higher boiler output
used for
domestic
hot
wate
r.
3.
When a dema
nd
is made
fo
r central heating the boiler
ou

modulated automatically from

5. The unit heats
the domestic

instantaneously and
for the time that domestic
