low loss headers

A low loss header is simply a hydraulic disconnect that enables the boiler flow rate to differ from the system flow rate. With certain boilers this is a big advantage because the boiler control can look at only the boiler temp and adjust itself for maximum efficiency.

A well thought out primary/secondary piping arrangement will nearly duplicate this situation.
