2.12 System 12: Greenstar Heating Boiler with
zone valves and room thermostats
Summary:
Single boiler with primary/secondary piping con fi gura-
tion supplying three heating zones controlled by 3rd party
room thermostats with zone valves. Outdoor reset with
FW200 controller mounted on the boiler.
The zone circulator runs only when a heat demand is com-
municated by the room thermostats and shut off when the
heat demand goes away.
Primary/secondary piping isolates the system fl ow from
the boiler fl ow and prevents the system from in fl uencing
boiler performance.
This setup allows the use of a low energy ECM pump (e.g.
Grundfos Alpha) that adjusts the fl ow rate based on back
pressure depending on the number of zones calling.
This system works particularly well for installations with
other heat sources, e.g. wood stoves or signi fi cant solar
gain. Compared to systems with the FW200 installed in the
room that will throttle down the boiler output when the
room reaches its set point, in this setup the thermostat
will shut the boiler off.
This system can also be used with a combi boiler (see
system 6) instead of the indirect fi red DHW tank.
In detail:
This system runs on pure outdoor reset without room
feedback on the heating curve. The FW200 installed in the
boiler adjusts the heating curve (boiler supply tempera-
ture) according to outdoor temperature.
The 3rd party room thermostats turn the boiler and the
zone pump on and off based on the conditions in the living
space.
FW200 provides warm weather shutdown.
For temperature sensitive radiant fl oor applications install
a thermostatic tempering valve for overheat protection.
Required components:
 Greenstar heating boiler.
 FW200 controller in the boiler.
 Primary/secondary piping and system pump.
 Thermostatic mixing valve (optional - overheat
protection for temperature sensitive floors).

3rd party room thermostats with dry contact closure
in each zone.
 Zone valve panel (e.g. TACO ZVC403 or similar).
 Zone pump (ECM recommended).
 Indirect fired DHW tank.
 Tank loading pump of sufficient capacity.
