Primary-Secondary

in THE MAIN WALL
separation on a project I just put together.
I know I had seen this specification somewhere.
Most of what I worked from was from this site or other published info from Siegenthaler, B & G, etc. I have a big binder of saved columns.

This particular job will use a steam heat exchanger to supply hot water for coils for space heating in ducts.

Interesting now to see the other side... that it is not something you need to worry about.

    Primary/Secondary question

    Is there a minimum distance to have between the tees of 2 different secondary loops? If they are within 6" will this create any flow problems?

    problem at all.

    The circuits

    really are hydraulically disconnected and that's why it doesn't matter how close they are. There's one place where it's a consideration, though, and that's on a crossover bridge (within a two-pipe pri-sec system) where the secondary flow exceeds the primary flow.

    thanks

    Thank you Dan. If there is a space problem maintaining the separation, I know we won't have to try.
