Hydronic piping 

(continued)

    

It is recommended that near boiler 
piping systems utilize 

Primary/Secondary 

configurations as shown in FIG.’s 6-3 
through 6-9 only.  The use of other near 
boiler piping configurations could result in 
improper building and system flow rates 
leading to inadvertent boiler high limit 
shutdowns and poor system performance if 
proper pump sizing and system flow rates are 
not adhered to.

 NOTICE

Pump sizing and flow requirements are 
based on 20 feet of piping, 4 - 90° elbows, 
and 2 - fully ported ball valves.

 NOTICE

Variable speed pump option

Table 6B Recommended Variable Speed Pumps

Variable speed pumping to maintain a set differential temperature (

Δ

T) between two (2) sensors allows for the following:

Automatic adjustment of the pump's performance to match the low of the system or zone

Eliminate velocity noise in the zone valve systems

- Conserve 

energy

Since 

Δ

T is directly releated to flow rate, the pump's speed continually adjusts to the required BTU per hour.  In almost all 

applications the design of the system was based on being able to maintain a certain 

Δ

T and figured by using the universal 

hydronics equation of BTU/hr = GPM x 500 x 

Δ

T.  Given that, any time there is a change to the heat load (i.e., warmer day 

or greater heat loss from a structure) then the GPM should change to match the required BTU/hr.  This is achieved when the 
variable speed circulators automatically and continually adjust their GPM output (by varying speed) to match the required     
BTU/hr output of the system, no matter the changes in heat load, while always maintaining the designed 

Δ

T between a supply 

and return sensor.

Variable speed pump setup

Before operation, ensure the following:

 

- Pump is set for an input signal of 0 - 10Vdc by the dip switches on the pump control

 

- Pump is set for external signal control (if applicable)

 

- Pump is set for linear output (if applicable)

 

- If pump does not come equipped with a 0 - 10 Vdc input option, an optional module 

 

  will be required from the vendor

SMART SYSTEM / Multi-temperature loop 

control option

The Knight wall mount boiler is capable of producing up 
to three (3) set point temperatures to meet different space 
heating demands.  When using more than one temperature 
demand it is necessary to protect the lower temperature 
loop from overheating.  To help aid with this protection, 
Lochinvar offers the Multi- Temperature Loop Control Board 
Kit (RLY30086).
