3. Piping for multiple boilers (see Figure 13):
A Size secondary boiler pump GPM based on
following formulas:
Calculate only secondary piping circuit resistance.
Boiler resistance will be about equal to three 90
degree elbows of secondary pipe size. Operate each
boiler and its secondary pump from a Weil-McLain
boiler control panel. Do not maintain boiler at
predetermined water temperature.
B Primary pump GPM and head calculation should
not include secondary boiler circuits. Primary
pump can operate continuously during heating
season.
C Space 12" maximum or as close as practical.
D Check valve.
E Hand valve.
Expansion tank(s), relief valves and other accessories are
required but not shown.
