LP- 293 REV. 5.20.14
The chart below represents the various system design temperature rise through the boiler along with their respective flows and friction
loss, which will aid in circulator selection.
The chart on the following page represents the combined flow rates and pipe sizes when using multiple boilers to design the manifold
system for the primary circuit. To size, simply add up the number of boilers and the required flow rates for the system design
temperature.
Example: (5) EL-220 Boilers® with a design of 20°
Δt degree temperature rise with each boiler having an individual flow rate of 22 GPM.
To correctly size the manifold feeding these (5) boiler
s you would need a pipe size of 4”.
