APPLICATIONS
Space Heating Applications
WARNING
•
Toxic chemicals used in boiler treatments such as alcohol, glycerol and glycol group
must not be introduced into the system when used for open loop potable water and
space heating.
•
The T-M50 can be used to supply potable water and space heating and shall not be
connected to any heating system or component(s) previously used with non-potable
water where any chemicals were added to the water heating appliances.
•
When the system requires water for space heating at temperatures higher than required
for other uses, a means such as a mixing valve shall be installed to temper the water for
those other uses in order to reduce scald hazard potential.
•
Water temperature over 125
°
F can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds.
•
Chemicals such as diluted Glycol can be used for radiant floor, Hydro/fan coil air or
Baseboard heating only. The diluted solution of glycol must contain between 25% and
55% of Glycol. Be aware that in closed-loop glycol systems, low pressure in the heat
exchanger can cause low-temperature boiling, resulting in excessive noise and damage
to the water heater. Consult with the glycol maker for specifications prior to use.
Re-circulation:
This is a concept drawing only.
* Size the pump to provide at
about 4 GPM through the
system at 15 Ft of Head plus
applications and piping head
losses. 4 GPM will allow the
system to operate at its optimal
performance.
* If the application requires a
higher re-circulating flow rate,
make sure that the re-
circulating flow rate is
no
greater than 8 GPM
. If the
flow rate is too high, the
system could be damaged by
erosion
