If DHWheaters supply separate DHW circuits, provide an individual circulator foreach water heater, and control each circulator by its water heater’s aquastat.This piping is suggestedonly. Thelayout above should be controlledwith a boiler sequencing panel thatprovides DHW operation as well.Wire the heating system circulatorto operate only on call for heat. Alternatively,use the boiler sequencingpanel to provide domestic priorityby disabling the heating system circulatorany time there is a DHW callfor heat. The boiler internal circulatorsoperate on any call for heat,whether heating system or DHW.Offset the DHW boiler-side supplyand return manifolds as shown sothe total run of pipe and fittings toeach of the water heaters is approximatelyequal.Part number 550-142-054/1211 27
