potable H2O heating;parallel reverse return?
copperhead
Member Posts: 8
last year at some point some helpful fella posted 3 drawings of different ways to pipe multiple indirect-fired H2O heaters,which I promptly archived. since then I've moved and for some reason,so has that document. it had one undesirable layout ; the typical time and material consuming tiered "menorah" ; and what I believe was called the parallel reverse return,by far the simplest and reportedly the best method. could someone either draw it again or refer me to a source where I can see a drawing? preferably done by someone with a bunch of letters after their name,because the powers that be will be more receptive with all those letters. There has to be a better way than that "menorah" style. There has to be a name for that too. What's it called besides a pain in the neck? Help,before I'm forced to pipe it like that again. egads.....( I didn't find it in Siegenthaler's book...) thanks folks.

Hi Copperhead
This is parallel reverse return in it's simplest form. Sorry I couldn't make it smaller, am in a hurry to go pick my Mom up from the airport.
M. E. Will be along shortly.
Good luck, fella.

BTW, Thank HR for finding out about being able to get your whole album from a previous photo posting web site(PhotoPoint.com}, or we'd all be wondering what it looked like. Thanks for the heads up HR.

parallel:that's what I'm talking about!...BUT...
Thanks ME for the concise cartoon so quickly rendered....but in order for me to get my employers to change their bad habits I still need another source/s with "official credentials" for them to even look up from whatever it is that they're doing. Books,publications,whathaveyou...I just finished installing two 120 gal. Phase 3 tanks w/provisions for a third,top tapping {aarrg!} in 3" & 2 1/2" copper Victaulic,that whole tiered menorah , hung from the cieling on the horizontal...so much unistrut and rod and Vic stuff...and it won't work properly anyways,{another long story,alas}. once more...stop me before I butcher it AGAIN!!! thanks a MBTU/H rk0 -
