4.13 Low-temperature hot-water one-pipe heating system.<br />

The design of a pumped heating system is approached in the following way.<br />

1. Calculate room heat losses.<br />

2. Decide radiator and convector positions and then their sizes from manufacturers’ literature.<br />

3. Calculate the water flow rate for each heat emitter.<br />

4. Design the pipework layout.<br />

5. Mark the water flow rates on the pipework drawing and add them up all the way back to<br />

the boiler from the furthest heater, marking the drawing with each value.
