9.6.3 Herringbone Layout and Manifold Tube
Length Rules
The herringbone layo
u
t is essentially several T
layo
u
ts stacked together. Therefore, the same
principle for manifold t
u
be calc
u
lation as
u
sed for T
layo
u
ts is
u
sed for herringbone layo
u
ts,
w
ith one
exception. In a herringbone layo
u
t, the manifold
t
u
be length bet
w
een tees (or crosses) as
w
ell as
bet
w
een the last tee (or cross) and the p
u
mp is
calc
u
lated by dividing by 1.5 as sho
w
n in the T
example
. The only
manifold t
u
be length in a herringbone layo
u
t that is
not divided by 1.5 is any manifold t
u
be length located
bet
w
een the end of the radiant t
u
be and a tee or
cross.
Example:
Consider a herringbone layo
u
t similar to
the layo
u
t on the left in
, having ten CTHN-
100 b
u
rners. Ass
u
me that each heater has 40' (12 m)
of radiant t
u
be and 10'(3 m) of manifold t
u
be before
the connecting tee or cross.
u
rner m
u
st have at least
40' (12 m) of radiant t
u
be, also each b
u
rner m
u
st
have bet
w
een 6' (2 m) and 45' (13.5 m) of manifold
t
u
be. Each b
u
rner has already met the minim
u
m
manifold pipe req
u
irement d
u
e to the 10' (3 m) of
manifold t
u
be before the connecting tees and
crosses. The maxim
u
m manifold t
u
be length for the
entire system is 10 b
u
rners X 45' (13.5 m) = 450'
(135 m). S
u
btract the 100' (30 m) that has already
been
u
sed before the connecting tees/crosses and
350' (105 m) remains.
Since the remaining manifold is located either
bet
w
een or after connecting tees or crosses, the
manifold length m
u
st be divided by 1.5. 350' (105 m)/
1.5 = 233' (70 m). Therfore,
u
p to 233' (70 m) can be
u
sed bet
w
een the branches and also bet
w
een the
last cross and the p
u
mp.
