Zoning with zone valves

1. Connect boiler to system as shown in Figure 12

when zone valve zoning. The primary/secondary

piping shown ensures the boiler loop will have suf-

ficient flow. It also avoids applying the high head

of the boiler circulator to the zone valves.

2. Connect water heater (domestic hot water) pip-

ing to indirect storage water heater as shown in

Section A of this manual.

The

PhD Control Module turns off

space heating during water heater heat-

ing. The boiler circulator will turn off,

preventing hot water from circulating to

the system. The flow/check valve shown

on the boiler outlet piping prevents grav-

ity circulation in the boiler loop during

water heater heating.

. Controlling the system circulator

a. To cycle the system circulator from the

PhD

control module, add a circulator relay wired to the
boiler circulator terminals as shown on page 0.

NOTE 1:

To ensure adequate flow rate through the

boiler, use the following pipe size on all

boiler loop piping (connecting boiler to and

from the primary/secondary connection,

item 21):

-80 or

-10 – 1” or larger.

-1 or

-20 – 1¼” or larger.

-10 – 1½” or larger.

Use at least the minimum piping size

above and pipe the boiler using only pri-

mary/secondary piping as shown. Failure

to follow these guidelines could result in

system problems.
