Applications; Re-Circulation - Takagi Mobius Water Heater T-M32 ASME Installation Manual And Owner's Manual

APPLICATIONS

•
Toxic chemicals used in boiler treatments such as alcohol, glycerol and glycol group
must not be introduced into the system when used for open loop potable water and
space heating.
•
The T-M32 can be used to supply potable water and space heating and shall not be
connected to any heating system or component(s) previously used with non-potable
water where any chemicals were added to the water heating appliances.
•
When the system requires water for space heating at temperatures higher than required
for other uses, a means such as a mixing valve shall be installed to temper the water for
those other uses in order to reduce scald hazard potential.
• Water temperature over 125 °F can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds.
•
Chemicals such as diluted Glycol can be used for radiant floor, Hydro/fan coil air or
Baseboard heating only. The diluted solution of glycol must contain between 25% and
55% of Glycol. Be aware that in closed-loop glycol systems, low pressure in the heat
exchanger can cause low-temperature boiling, resulting in excessive noise and damage
to the water heater. Consult with the glycol maker for specifications prior to use.

Re-circulation:

* Size the pump to provide at about 2 GPM through the
system at 15 Ft of Head plus applications and piping head
losses. 2 GPM will allow the system to operate at its
optimal performance.
* If the application requires a higher re-circulating flow rate,
make sure that the re-circulating flow rate is no greater
than 4 GPM. If the flow rate is too high, the system could
be damaged by erosion.
