Lochinvar SYNC 1.0 - Manual (Page 28)

Installation & Operation Manual
It is required that near boiler piping
systems utilize Primary/Secondary
configurations as shown in FIG.’s 5-5 and
5-6 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.
Near boiler piping components
1. Boiler piping:
Boiler system piping MUST be sized per the pipe
requirements listed in Table 5A. Reducing the pipe size
can restrict the flow rate through the boiler, causing
inadvertent high limit shutdowns and poor system
performance.
2. Boiler circulating pump:
Field supplied. The boiler circulating pump MUST be
sized to meet the specified minimum flow requirements
listed in FIG. 5-4.
3. Hot Water Generator circulating pump:
Field supplied. The pump MUST be sized to meet
the specified minimum flow requirements listed in
FIG. 5-4. Consult the indirect boiler operating
guide to determine flow characteristics for the selected
product used.
4. Boiler isolation valves:
Field supplied. Full port ball valves are required. Failure
to use full port ball valves could result in a restricted flow
rate through the boiler.
5. Check valves:
Field supplied. Check valves are required for
installation as shown in FIG.’s 5-5 and 5-6. Failure to
install check valves could result in a reverse flow condition
during pump(s) off cycle.
6. Domestic indirect hot water isolation valves:
Field supplied. Full port ball valves are
required. Failure to use full port ball valves could
result in a restricted flow rate through the boiler.
7. Anti-scald mixing valve:
Field supplied. An anti-scald mixing valve is
recommended when storing domestic hot water above
115°F (46°C).
8. Unions:
Field supplied. Recommended for unit serviceability.
9. Pressure relief valve:
Factory supplied. The pressure relief valve is sized to
ASME specifications.
10. System temperature sensor:
Lochinvar supplies a system temperature sensor.
The sensor is to be installed in the heating loop
downstream from the boiler hot water piping and
heating loop junction. The sensor should be
located far enough downstream to sense system diluted
water temperature.
NOTICE
Pump sizing and flow requirements are
based on 20 feet (6 m) of piping, 4 - 90°
elbows, and 2 - fully ported ball valves.

A system supply sensor (factory supplied)
MUST BE installed for proper boiler
operation.
