IV. ZONE DESIGN
IMPORTANT
section for information on sizing, piping and circulators for the Mega-Stor zone.
In designing the Mega-Stor zone piping system the following points should be considered:
1) Circulator or Zone Valve Zoning? - Circulator zones are usually a better choice. Zone valves have a relatively high
valve with a minimal delay in opening, such as a motorized type.
2) Priority Zoning - Priority zoning is used to divert all boiler output to the Mega-Stor when its zone calls for heat re-
gardless of any simultaneous calls for heat from space heating zones. Priority zoning can be done using a 3-way zone
valve, or by using a relay to de-energize the heating zones when the Mega-Stor calls for heat. See the Piping and Wiring
Sections for more information on these zone systems.
3) Use Worksheet 1 to size piping and select a circulator for the Mega-Stor zone. To do this:
to all zones (zone manifolds, etc.).
selected. Enter the result in column (d).
d) Total column (d). This is the total pressure drop for the Mega-Stor zone.
e) Use Table 4.1 or a circulator manufacturer’s literature to select a circulator which will develop the required
TABLE 4.1: SELECTING A CIRCULATOR
AVAILABLE HEAD (FT. W.C.)
Select a circulator which has an Available Head greater than the pressure drop calculated using Worksheet 3.
