INTRODUCTIONSizing for Tankless Heaters...Consider adding somestorageWhen sizing boilers for heating and domestic hot water production bymeans of an immersion type tankless heater, one must bear in mindthat you cannot cheat the laws of physics. In order to raise the temperatureof a gallon of water flowing through a tankless coil from 40°F to140°F, you will require 50,000 btuh of boiler capacity. Therefore to beable to produce 3 gpm or 5 gpm of hot water through this coil the boilercapacity will need to be 150,000 btuh or 250,000 btuh respectively.Unfortunately there are an abundance of oversized boilers out therewasting valuable energy dollars just sitting there waiting to produce "ondemand" domestic hot water with no provision for storage. A muchbetter alternative would be to add an aqua booster or storage tank andcontrols to maintain a volume of hot water to fulfill those larger needswithout the need for a larger tankless coil and boiler. The end result,once again, will be substantial fuel savings due to less short burnercycles in the long run.Steam Boilers...Size it by connected loadThe function of a steam boiler is to create steam vapor which in essenceis water that has turned to a super heated gaseous state. Whenenough latent energy, in the form of heat, has been applied to waterit changes it’s state from liquid to a vapor state. The steam vapor inturn gives up its latent energy to the radiators and other heat emittingdevices connected to the boiler piping by means of conduction. Thesein turn transfer their heat to the surrounding air and objects by meansof convection and radiant principles. You only need to size the boilerbased on the capacity of steam vapor needed to fill all of the connectedradiation and related piping. Therefore it is absolutely imperative thatyou check each and every radiator or heat-emitting device to establishits capacity of steam in Square Feet of Radiation or Equivalent DirectRadiation (EDR). There are a number of tables in Chapter 5 of thispublication to help you in accomplishing this. You do, of course, haveto take into effect that there will be some steam required to fill theconnecting pipes and that there will be standby losses related to thatpiping, but these factors have already been built into the Net IBR boilersteam ratings to the capacity of 33%. This means that unless there is alarger than normal amount of piping, pipes that run through


INTRODUCTIONThere is now only a fraction of infiltration air coming into this buildingas compared to years ago and that the new boiler and other appliancesare much more efficient and much more dependant upon proper air tofuel mixtures for efficient combustion. Add to this the fact that the buildingnow has additional devices that can depressurize it or take air outsuch as exhaust and ventilation fans, fireplaces and clothes dryers andyou may begin to appreciate why the confined space consideration isso important. Here are the guidelines and an example of how to figurefor a confined space based on average type construction such as 2”x4”insulated sidewalls, attic insulation and insulated windows.ExampleConfined Space = Ratio of Cubic Feet of Area to Total BTUH Input in1000’s of BTUH (MBH)Less than (


INTRODUCTIONEven newer chimneys with a properly configured and installed liner butsituated on the outside of the building or house can be harmed by fluegas condensation. Extreme caution should be exercised when attemptingto use chimneys such as these. It would advisable to install aninsulated metal liner in these types of chimneys to protect them againstcondensation damage and to allow the boiler and other attached appliancesto perform properly.Chimneys...Bigger is not necessarily better!Caution should also be exercised when using larger internal linedchimneys with new boilers and other appliances. Bigger is not necessarilybetter when considering a chimney’s venting capabilities. Youneed to remember that a new boiler’s flue gas temperatures are lowerthan ever before and may not be able to establish the draft you needin one of these larger chimneys. Even if they can establish proper draftthe concern still exists of the effect that flue gas condensation will haveon life of the chimney. Be sure to abide by the venting regulationsadopted and enforced by your state or locality regarding proper ventingpractices.Most, if not all, higher efficiency gas boilers these days are vented bybuilt-in induced draft fans and utilize AL29-4C stainless steel, PolypropyleneConcentric or even PVC/CPVC venting materials. Most of theseboilers allow for venting distances of up to 50 equivalent feet of ventingand have a multitude of venting options such as sidewall, vertical andconcentric venting. Bear in mind that the venting options and materialslisted in the Installation Manual for one manufacturer’s boiler are proprietaryto that particular boiler and may not apply to a different modelor brand of boiler. Read the Installation Manual carefully and abideby the information provided in that manual to ensure that the boileroperates correctly and safely. If you don’t see a particular venting optionlisted in that boiler’s manual then more than likely it has not beentested or certified and you cannot use it.Aftermarket sidewall power venting equipment and related controlshave been commonly used when a chimney is not an option. Becautious of using them with the boiler and other equipment you are installingin that they will more than likely involve cutting into the boiler’sfactory wiring harness. If the person performing this wiring procedure isunfamiliar with the internal wiring of the boiler and11


INTRODUCTIONcontrols, this can develop into a severe safety concern. Even if thepower venter control wiring is done correctly there is also a concern asto whether the venter’s internal damper is adjusted properly to maintainproper draft over fire and that the byproducts of combustion are correctfor optimum efficiency. Burnham manufactures several gas-fired andoil-fired boilers with built in induced draft capabilities for jobs wherepower venting and direct venting is necessary. The boiler’s ventingapplications have been tested and certified for proper operation andsafety where aftermarket power venter applications have not.Proper Circulator Placement..."Pumping Away"The term “pumping away” in regards to circulator placement in a hotwater heating system has been around for many years now, but thereis still some confusion as to what it means. It is a known fact of physicsthat any liquid or gas in a piping system will always move from a pointof higher pressure to a point of lesser pressure. Any heating systemcirculator, large or small, will create this mechanical pressure differentialwhile it is operating. The bigger the circulator, the greater thepressure differential. When a circulator operates, the impeller will adda small amount of pressure at the discharge side of the veins but inturn will try and reduce the pressure by an almost identical amount atthe inlet side or impeller eye, thus creating the mechanical pressuredifferential. If you have a system maintaining a static fill pressure of 12psi when the circulator is not running, that pressure will remain somewhatconstant throughout the system. Turn the circulator on and it mayadd 4 psi of discharge pressure to the outlet side for a total dischargepressure of 16 psi to begin moving the water through the system whereit encounters friction losses on its way back to the boiler. Depending onthe location of the expansion tank in the system, when water returnsthrough the system back to the inlet side of the circulator, the pressuremay be reduced below the static fill pressure of 12 psi by the systempressure drop and the fact that the circulator is trying to reduce thepressure at its suction side by an equal amount of 4 psi. This may resultin the pressure being reduced to approximately 8 psi at the suctionside of the circulator. Based on the gpm requirement of the system andthe developed length of the longest circuit, you probably now have apump capable of overcoming the system pipe and fitting friction lossesand you may have proper flow through the system. But the questionis…how well will it do its job based on its placement in the system?12


INTRODUCTION"Pumping Away"...but from what?The question still at hand is where to place the circulator in the systemso it reaches its maximum effectiveness. This is where the term “pumpingaway” sometimes gets misconstrued. Many believe that the term“pumping away” means to pump away from the boiler and thereforethey end up mounting thecirculator directly off the topof the boiler on the supplypipe. While this may seemto be somewhat correct, inreality it is wrong. The realmeaning of the term “pumpingaway” means pumping awayfrom the system expansionor compression tank. Thereason for this has to dowith the functions that theFrom BoilerCold WaterSupplyBall ValvePressureReducingValveAir Separatorwith Air VentAir Removal SystemCirculatorDiaphragmTankTo Systemcirculator and expansion tank serve. The function of the circulator isto create a pressure differential and the function of the expansion tankis to regulate the system pressure as close to static fill as possible. Ifthe tank encounters a drop in pressure it will try and fill that pressurevoid and if it encounters a pressure increase due to mechanical meansor thermal expansion, it will try and absorb it. When a circulator ismounted on the boiler supply but is situated before the expansion tank,nearly all of the extra discharge pressure that the circulator is capableof developing will be absorbed by the expansion tank resulting in staticfill pressure or less being exerted through the system piping. The waterwill still move through the system but there will be relatively low systemreturn side pressures and more than likely, captive air and noise will beencountered in the farthest circuits of the system. When the circulatoris mounted on the system supply directly after (as close as possible)the expansion tank you will now be exerting the extra pressure it is developingwhere it is needed most or to the system supply piping. Now itwill more effectively move the water and keep high enough pressuresin the remote portions of piping to prevent air from accumulating orcoming out of solvency. The lesser pressure that pump is developingon its suction side will be in contact with the expansion tank. The actionnow will be that the expansion tank diaphragm will move into place tofill that pressure void causing an increase to static fill pressure at thesuction side of the pump.13


INTRODUCTIONThe end result will be a well working, quiet and captive air free systemwith no consumer complaints or callbacks. In final review, the term“pumping away” means pumping away from the expansion or compressiontank.Pressure Reducing Valve Placement...Point of nopressure changeI would be lax at this point if I failed to mention the proper placementof the system pressure-reducing valve. As I described in the previousparagraphs, the function of the expansion tank is to try and keep thesystem pressure as close to static fill pressure as possible. The job ofthe pressure reducing valve is to reduce the incoming building waterpressure to the desired static fill pressure of the boiler and heatingsystem. Most are preset to a static fill pressure of 12-15 psi as are theprecharge sides of the expansion tanks. Whatever static fill pressurehappens to be is what the air charge in the expansion tank should be.Interestingly enough, if you could shrink yourself down and get into thesystem piping, you would find that there is only one place in that wholesystem where the pressure never changes when things are beginningto run or are already running. That one place happens to be at thepoint where the expansion tank is attached to the system piping whichusually is some sort of an air removal device such as an air scoop.Bear in mind now that if you connect the pressure reducing valve atnearly any point in the system, except one, it will encounter either anincrease or decrease in pressure. If it happens to be the latter it willintroduce more water pressure to fill that void resulting in a somewhathigher static fill pressure than desired that you will never get rid of dueto an internal check valve inside the valve. That one place you shouldmount the pressure reducing valve happens to be between the expansiontank and whatever it is connected to because that is the onlyplace where the pressure really never changes. The end result will beproperly regulated system pressure, little if no phantom pressure riseand increased fuel savings.Near Boiler Piping...Remember what boilers need!There are endless types of various system piping methods employingcirculators, zone valves, mixing valves and other system devices. Inaddition to this there are several controls, both aftermarket and proprietary,to establish better system efficiency levels14


INTRODUCTIONvia outdoor reset technology. When installing a conventional cast ironhot water boiler, however, one must keep in mind two basic things thatare important to boilers like this…return water temperatures above140°F and consistent flow through the boiler. Conventional parallel pipingof a multizone hot water heating system may not maintain either ofthese two parameters. Fractional amounts of system flow through theboiler when only one or more small zones are operating can result inextreme short cycling based on how the boiler was sized. Return watercooler than 140°F for prolonged periods of time can cause flue gascondensation within the flue passageways of the boiler.There are certainly methods of system piping such as venturi or Monoflotee or reverse return systems that will help ensure that consistentflow rates and warmer return water prevail, but they are seldom useddue to increased material and labor costs. There are various methodsof near boiler piping that can be employed to help safeguard againstthese issues. The simplest of these is bypass piping. While it helpsin dealing with possible cool return water, it does little in controllingconsistent flow through the boiler unless it happens to be a systembypass. Another method that can be much more effective in dealingwith this is boiler loop piping. This method incorporates a full size mainthat connects the boiler supply directly to the boiler return via a loop.A pair of tees with spacing less than 5 pipe diameters connects thesystem piping and related circulator(s) to the boiler loop. This methodof piping will blend hot boiler supply water with the cooler return waterkeeping the boiler return water warm nearly all of the time while alwaysmaintaining a consistent flow rate through the boiler.15


INTRODUCTIONThere are many other methods such asprimary secondary piping, variable speedinjection and motorized mixing and blendingvalves that can accomplish this as well.Whatever method you elect to use, keep inmind what you are trying to accomplish bydoing so. It is not needed in all hot waterboiler applications, but is becoming moreand more commonplace these days.High Efficiency Boiler Piping...Do it by the book!When installing a new high efficiencymodulating/condensing boiler, it is extremely important that you pay closeattention to the recommended near boiler piping methods spelled out inthe Installation Manual provided with the boiler. In most cases this methodwill involve primary secondary piping of the boiler into a system loopmain. As discussed earlier, these boilers have “state of the art” electroniccontrol systems that monitor Supply, Return, Flue Gas and Outdoor temperaturesevery second of operating time. It is imperative that you complywith the recommended near boiler piping methods when installing theseboilers. Failure to do so could hinder the proper operation of the boilerand most surely will result in what every installer fears most…. nuisancecallbacks! Be sure to read the boiler’s Installation Manual thoroughlybefore proceeding with the installation.ConclusionInstallation callbacks to correct system issues that could have beenavoided in some way are both unexpected and costly at times and theyare something that we would all prefer to avoid dealing with. The focusof this report has been to bring to light many of these unexpected issuesand to provide you with the knowledge necessary to both identify andavoid them. We have no control over whether you will choose to employthe methods you learned today since that choice is entire up to you.We feel very confident that if you utilize the things you learned from thispublication, that each of your installations will be better than the last andwill operate flawlessly, efficiently, comfortably and safely for decades tocome. Thank you for taking the time to learn something new today andwe hope you strive to keep on learning because technology keeps onchanging…every single day!16

CHAPTER 1 - STEAMGUIDELINESCONVERTING A STEAM SYSTEM TO HOT WATER1. If the heat emitters are cast iron radiators make certain that the .sections are nippled (connected) at both the top and bottom.2. Size boiler based on a calculated heat loss not installed radiation.3. Measure the installed radiation. Divide total E.D.R. (sq. ft.) into the.. .calculated heat loss. The answer will indicate the number of BTU's.. .each sq. ft. of radiation must develop at outdoor design temperature.Refer to the chart on page 22. In the BTU column move horizontallyto the number nearest your calculation. Above that number will be themaximum system temperature you need. Vertically below will be theamount of radiation (sq. ft.) that the various pipe sizes will handle.4. One-Pipe Steam System: Existing steam mains and risers may be .reused. However, new return risers and return main must be .installed. Use the chart on page 23 to determine their size.5. Two-Pipe Steam System: With the exception of the near boiler.. .piping, all the system piping (steam mains, risers, and condensate.. .returns) may be reused. Typically, a residential steam system that .has 2" steam mains will have a minimum 1 1/4" dry return. If the.. .heat loss is less than the 160 MBH that 1 1/4" dry return would be ofsufficient size. The chart on page 23 gives the MBH capacity of pipesizes from 1/2" to 2".6. Regardless of the system, never reuse existing wet return piping.35

CHAPTER 2 - HOT WATER PIPING - RESIDENTIALSYSTEM PURGE IN LIEU OF AIR VENTSAPPLICATIONAny series loop piping, especially where system high points may beconcealed or venting is impractical. “System purge” is designed toremove air initially from the piping system, especially the high points.GUIDELINESAfter the initial removal of air it is important for the system to be able tohandle air that will develop when the system water is heated. Installationof an air scoop or an in-line airtrol at the boiler supply will benecessary to either vent the air from the system or direct the air to astandard expansion tank.A system purge is recommended only on Series Loop Installations.If other than non-ferrous baseboard is used, such as Base-Ray, theinterconnecting pipe will purge but vents must be placed on each freestanding assembly of Base-Ray.PROCEDURE1. Fill system with water. Isolate boiler by closing valves (B) and (C).2. Begin purge by opening first zone or loop. Next, open valve (A)(cold water supply). Finally and immediately, open hose bib (D)Once water flows freely, close the first zone or loop and then do thesame for the remaining zones or loops.A.

CHAPTER 2 - HOT WATER PIPING - RESIDENTIALINDIRECT DOMESTIC HOT WATER PIPING1. APPLICATIONA. Tankless Heater: Piping below is essential for safe and .reliable operation.B. Storage Heater: If the storage water temperature is .maintained at or below 120°F, piping below is unnecessary.If there is need to increase the storage, this can be accomplishedby storing hotter water then tempering it. This will necessitate thepiping below.2. PIPING SCHEMATIC(1) Preferably the mixing valve should be set no higher than 120°F.Install mixing valve 15" below H.W. outlet. This will create abeneficial cooling leg.(2) Automatic Flow Regulator (tankless only) must match GPM ratingof the tankless. If piped downstream of mixing valve, GPM flowwill increase if heater water is hotter than 120°F.(3) Placement of hose bibs will permit periodic back flushing ofheater (coil).40

CHAPTER 2 - HOT WATER PIPING - RESIDENTIAL1. BOILER BY-PASS - ONE ZONE44


CHAPTER 2 - HOT WATER PIPING - RESIDENTIAL1. BOILER BY-PASS - ONE ZONE (CONT.)PURPOSE FOR BY-PASSGAS BOILER CONNECTED TO .LARGE WATER CONTENT RADIATION•.. Flue gas condensation will occur when the "burner" is on and thewater in the boiler is less than 130°F. Over 50% of the heating seasonthe radiators will satisfy the need for heat with less than 130°F.By-pass piping will permit the boiler to carry a higher temperaturethan the radiation. Regulation comes from the globe or plug valves.Thermometers, positioned above, will facilitate a proper by-pass.The supply water temperature need only overcome the temperaturedrop of the system. Even with water moving as slow as 2' to 1' persecond in the oversized gravity piping, within a few minutes thethermometer mounted in the by-pass (return water) will begin toregister temperature rise then serious balancing can start.OIL BOILER WITH TANKLESS CONNECTED .TO LARGE WATER CONTENT RADIATION•.. Flue gas condensation can occur in oil boilers too. However, thereis greater concern regarding system operation. Without a boilerby-pass, water returning from one radiator will drastically drop theboiler temperature and cause the circulator to stop. Heat leaves theboiler in "spurts" and all the "hot spurts" end up in the same radiatorand the heating system is quickly out of balance. By-pass pipingproperly set will dramatically minimize this problem.45


CHAPTER 2 - HOT WATER PIPING - RESIDENTIAL2. BOILER BY-PASS - MULTI-ZONE HEATINGPURPOSE OF BY-PASS (GAS AND OIL)46• In a multi-zone (cold start) system excess temperature develops.When one zone calls for heat it cannot dissipate the heat theboiler (sized for all zones) creates. When the zone is satisfiedthe hot water trapped in the boiler stays hot while the hot watertrapped in the non-ferrous baseboard cools quickly. Before thenext call for heat the temperature difference may be as high as100°F. The system will be plagued with expansion noises unlessboiler by-pass piping is installed. If, for example, the temperaturedrop in each of the zones is approximately 10°F then the balancingvalves need only show on the thermometers a 15°F variancebetween supply and return piping, and expansion noises will beeliminated.Beyond Boiler By-Pass• Two-stage thermostats or an indoor-outdoor reset controller willminimize the temperature rise in the boiler but even with thesecontrols, boiler by-pass piping will help.NOTE: If the system return water temperature periodically or continuouslyoperates below 135° F, the use of a three-way valve and Burnham RTC ReturnTemperature Control is recommended. See separate RTC manual and page 43for further details.

CHAPTER 2 - HOT WATER PIPING - RESIDENTIAL3. BOILER BY-PASS - MULTI-ZONE HEATING ANDINDIRECT D.H.W. ZONE (CONT.)PURPOSE OF BY-PASS (GAS AND OIL)• Serves only the heating zones. Though, indirectly, the hotter.. .. . boiler water it creates will help the indirect domestic hot water .. . zone. Boiler by-pass piping, per se, is helpful to the heating zones. . yet detrimental to the DHW zone. However, with properly .. . positioned check valves by-pass piping can serve both operations.EXAMPLES1. <strong>Heating</strong> zone (2, 3 or 4) calls for heat: Full flow of the circulator .. . will move from the radiation to point (A). If the balancing valves .. . (globe or plug) are adjusted to slightly overcome the temperature .drop of the zone(s), typically 30% of the flow will move into the .. . boiler at point (B) and 70% will by-pass the boiler at (C). At point.(D) the full, but blended flow will move to the radiation.2. Indirect DHW zone (1) calls for heat: Full flow of the circulator. . will move through the boiler at (B). No water will move through the. . by-pass at (C) because of the check valve at point (E). In other.. .. . words, all the heat in the boiler will be dedicated to satisfying the.... . DHW needs.3. <strong>Heating</strong> zone and indirect DHW zone call for heat simultaneously.. . Through the use of a special relay the DHW zone could be given .. . priority. This means the heating zone is put on hold until the DHWzone is satisfied. One option would be to let the piping handle thesituation. Remember, water flow takes the course of least .. . restriction and there is considerably less restriction in the DHW.. .. . zone piping.48


CHAPTER 2 - HOT WATER PIPING - RESIDENTIAL4. BOILER BY-PASS VS SYSTEM BY-PASSSeveral variations of by-pass piping exist for different reasons. Becausethe piping is near the boiler it is commonly categorized as “boilerby-pass” even though some may be a “system by-pass”. The differenceis illustrated below.1.

It is usedeither fully open or totally closedand is not designed for throttling.Ball Valve its operating deviceconsists of a ball with a hole throughits center. The valve operator rotates90 degrees from fully open tothe fully closed position. Its majorapplication is isolation but can beused to regulate flow.Globe Valve uses a round disc ortapered plug-type disc that seatsagainst a port to close the valve.Globe valves are used wherethrottling and/or when frequentoperation is required.Butterfly Valve has a wafershapedbody with a thin, rotatingdisc closing device. Like the ballvalve, the butterfly operates witha one-quarter turn to go full opento closed. The disc is always in theflow but the disc is thin and offerslittle flow restriction.Angle Valve operates the same asglobe valve. Has less resistance toflow than its globe counterpart andby design acts as a 90° elbow, eliminationgthe need for a fitting.Swing Check Valve has a hingeddisc that swings on a hinge pin.When the flow reverses, the pressurepushes the disc against a seatpreventing back flow.77


CHAPTER 8 - VALVES: TYPES AND APPLICATIONSLift Check Valve has a guideddisc that rises from its seat by upwardflow pressure. Flow reversalpushes the disc down against itsseat, stopping back flow. Thoughthe lift check has greater flowresistance than the swing check,it is more suitable for rapid opera-Plug Valve uses a tapered cylindricalplug that fits a body seat of correspondingshape.

A corrosion-resistant flue anda drain may be required if condensationcannot be prevented — refer to themanufacturer’s recommendations.NOTE 4 The dewpoint of the vent gasdepends on the fuel (natural or LPgas), the amount of excess air and theamount of dilution air. The limiting caseoccurs when the dewpoint of the ventgas is at a maximum, which is about135°F. This maximum is producedwhen natural gas is burned with no excessair or dilution air. Therefore 275°F= 135°F dewpoint + 140°F rise.

CHAPTER 10 - MISCELLANEOUSACIDITY AND ALKALINITY - (pH)pH is the logarithm of the reciprocal of the Hydrogen concentration.pH = log 101 (gram/liter equiv.)H+Since 1 hydroxyl ion is formed whenever a hydrogen ion develops, thepH scale also is used to measure the formation of hydroxyl ions.Typical pH values, relative strength:1 1,000,000 1/10 normal HCl sol2 100,000 Gastric Fluid3 10,000 Vinegar (4% acetic acid)4 1,000 Orange or grape juice5 100 Molasses6 10 Milk (6.8 pH)7 1 Pure Water, saliva8 10 Baking Soda, sea water9 100 Borax solutioin10 1,000 Soap - Milk of magnesia11 10,000 Tri-sodium phosphate12 100,000 Household ammonia (10%)13 1,000,000 Lye - Na O HManufacturers of hydronic and air conditioning equipment recommend apH value of 7.5 to 8.5 in the circulating water.The pH levels in all industrial cooling and heating systems are closelysupervised. Excessive acidity (pH 5-6) causes corrosion and high alkalinity(pH 8-10) results in heavy scale deposits on hot heat transfer surfaces.GAS PIPE SIZING - RESIDENTIALInterior gas piping must be examined before installing a new gas boiler.A typical winter load and even a summer load (indirect hot water supply)must be considered. Listed below are average inputs of various gas appliancesthat may be on-line. Also listed is a chart to determine whetherthe existing piping can carry the seasonal load.For specific appliances or appliances not shown below, the inputshould be determined from the manufacturer’s rating.86
