circulating pump on radiant heat

Allan R Lawyer 27 Geove St Fairhaven Ma 02719

It is recommended by heating equipment manufacturers that the circulating pump on hot water systems, be it baseboard or radiant PEX loops be installed just after the air vent /
expansion tank on the hot water supply side of the boiler rather than low on the return just prior to re-entering the boiler or heating source. Can you tell me approx. when this technology and recommendation was first recommended to the heating industry and plumbers / heating contractors?

Can you please give me your thoughts and recommendations on this pump placement subject? Thank You Allan R Lawyer
