A low-loss header offers additional benefits
not provided by a pair of closely spaced
tees. Viessmann strongly recommends
and prefers the use of a low-loss header
over closely spaced tees. When used in
conjunction with the Vitodens 100-W
boiler, the low-loss header acts as
hydraulic break, decoupling boiler and
system circuits from each other (no
sensor required). It is recommended to
use the low-loss header in applications in
which the total system flow rate exceeds
the maximum or falls below the minimum
flow rate of the Vitodens 100-W boiler.
For maximum boiler flow rates, see the table on page 87
in this manual.
Viessmann strongly recommends the use of a low-loss
header in cases where the system head and flow rates
are unknown.
In addition, the low-loss header helps eliminate air and
debris [D] from the heating system. See illustrations for
Low-loss header design and the principle of operation.
