Circulator Models For Alpine Boilers Based On 25 F Temp Differential - Burnham ALP105 Installation, Operating And Service Instructions

a. The flow rate through the isolated near-boiler
loop is maintained by factory recommended and
installer supplied boiler circulator.
b. The flow rate through the isolated near-boiler
loop is completely independent of the flow rate
through the heating system loop(s).
c. The flow rate through the heating system loop(s)
is controlled by installer sized/provided system
loop circulator(s).
d. This piping arrangement can be used either for
space heating-only applications or space heating
with indirect water heater(s) applications.
Space heating only - refer to Table 12A and
i.
Figures 31A or 31B "Near Boiler Piping
- Heating Only" as applicable.
ii. Space heating plus indirect water
heater(s) - refer to Tables 12A, 12B and, as
applicable, to:
• Figures 32A or 32B "Near Boiler Piping -
Heating Plus Indirect Water Heater"
- when indirect water heater can be piped
as part of near-boiler piping.
• Figures 32C or 32D "Near Boiler Piping -
Heating Plus Indirect Water Heater"
- when indirect water heater must be
piped as a separate heating zone off the
system header.
e. For installations where indirect domestic hot
water heater is combined with space heating,
when sizing an indirect water heater circulator,

notes:
* Circulator Models shown are not equipped with internal flow check valve (IFC).
When selecting Circulators with IFC contact Circulator Manufacturer for sizing information.
Near-Boiler Piping Size shown is based on 2 to 5.5 Ft/Sec. velocity range to avoid potential noise and pipe erosion.

compare the specified flow range through an
Alpine model boiler to an indirect water heater
(Alliance SL™) model coil flow rate required to
achieve water heater rating. Refer to Table 12B.
f. When Alliance SL™ model coil flow rate,
required to achieve water heater rating, falls
within the specified flow range for Alpine
boiler model, the Alliance SL™ model can be
piped as part of Alpine near-boiler piping.
Refer to Table 12B, Figures 32A, 32B, 35 and 36
for recommended circulator models, piping and
wiring details.
g. When Alliance SL™ model coil flow rate,
required to achieve water heater rating,
exceeds the specified flow range for Alpine
boiler model, the Alliance SL™/Alpine boiler
combination may result in excessive noise and
boiler heat exchanger erosion, and therefore,
is not recommended. Refer to Table 12B for
details.
h. When Alliance SL™ model coil flow rate,
required to achieve water heater rating, falls
below the specified flow range for Alpine boiler
model, the Alliance SL™ model must be piped
as a separate heating zone off the system
header. The circulator must be sized based on
the Alliance SL™ model coil flow and combined
coil pressure drop and the zone piping total
equivalent length. Refer to Table 12B, Figures
32C, 32D, 37A and 37B for piping and wiring
details.
