Piping; Zone Control - ENERGY KINETICS System 2000 EK1 Frontier Owners And Installation Manual

BOILER PITCH: The Frontier pressure vessel is manufactured with the rear ½ to 1 bubble higher to allow for proper
air removal. This pitch is carefully set at the factory when the boiler is built. Be sure to level the stand prior to mounting
the boiler on the stand. When the stand is level, the pitch is correct and the back of the boiler will be higher than the front.
The EK1 Frontier is pitched 1/4" and the EK2 Frontier is pitched 7/16".

PIPING

All piping and accessory connections should follow good
practice using approved joint sealants.
Figure 2C indicates a typical flow schematic for boiler water
feeding multiple zones. Each system will vary according to
job location.
Supply and return connections are 1"NPT on the EK1 and
1-1/4"NPT on the EK2.
Call Energy Kinetics to obtain piping and wiring instructions
for alternate applications, such as hydronic heating, radiant
heating, domestic hot water, swimming pool heating,
multiple boilers, injection loops, etc.
Figures 2A and 2B indicate general system piping
arrangement and options. Piping of individual systems may
vary from Figures.

ZONE CONTROL

ZONE CONTROL BY VALVE: The SYSTEM 2000 Boiler is designed to provide multi-zone control of the heating system
and optionally can supply domestic hot water. Energy Kinetics recommends and supplies two wire, full port, 24-volt zone
valves for control of each heating zone. A system with a single heating zone still requires a zone valve to provide control
for preheat of unit and to maintain minimum temperature during operation.
