  • Page 23 BOILER BOOK CFC-E ENGINEERING DATA Water Treatment Even though hot water systems are “closed”, some amount of make-up water (up to 10%) will be introduced. This more often than not happens from seal leaks of pumps, or other minimal leaks from valves etc., that go unnoticed.
  • Page 24 BOILER BOOK CFC-E ENGINEERING DATA Independent from the hydraulics of the heating system, constant water circulation through each boiler is required while the boiler is operating (requires a dedicated boiler pump if in a primary/secondary loop arrangement). Refer to table below for minimum boiler circulation rates. Minimum over-pressure at the boiler: For outlet temperatures up to the maximum of 185 deg F (85 deg C), a minimum operating pressure of 30 psig (2.1 bar) is required.

Air shall be free of chlorides, halogens, fluorocarbons, construction dust or other contaminants that are detrimental to the burner/boiler. If these contaminants are present, we recommend the use of direct vent combustion provided the outside air source is uncontaminated.

  • Page 40 BOILER BOOK CFC-E STACK/BREECHING SIZE CRITERIA The design of the stack and breeching must provide the required draft at each boiler flue gas connection; proper draft is critical to burner performance. Although constant pressure at the flue gas outlet is not required, it is necessary to size the breeching and stack to limit flue gas pressure variation.
  • Page 41 BOILER BOOK CFC-E STACK/BREECHING SIZE CRITERIA U.S. Installations Refer to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code/NFPA 54. Vent termination requirements are: 1. Vent must terminate at least four feet below and four feet horizontally or one foot above any door, window or gravity air inlet to the building.
