5 Example: A Genesis boiler is rated at 1,300,000 Btu/hr . input at sea level. At an altitude of 5,000 (1500m), the prejet orifices will decrease the input rate by 20% (= 4% x 5) to a new rating of 1,040,000 Btu/hr . (= 80% x 1,300,000 Btu/hr .) The input reduction is achieved by the prejet orifices through self-regulation. FEA TURES/CONTROLS MUL T[...]

15 CONVENTIONAL SP ACE HEA TING INST ALLA TION Modern fin type boilers are exceptionally fast heating units. The low water volumes in relation to firing rates require special attention to water flow rates for smooth, efficient operation. These considerations for the A. O. Smith copper heat exchanger boilers are covered below . Refer to table 4 show[...]

Manifold headers are recommended for split systems with or without zone valves and also those installations with zone circulators. If the system is[...]

17 mandatory but offers smooth, efficient operation of a modern system. Normal use of flow control valves is required to prevent cross circulation of zones as with any multiple pump system. Large systems with multiple boilers should include main water temperature controls (with or without outdoor reset) to sequence the boiler on and off, in relatio[...]
