Multi-zone systems with Pro Panel and zoning by actuator
When a Thermostat calls for heat, the HydroShark® Boiler fires (if necessary), and the Boiler Pump moves the heated fluid around the primary loop. Heat transfers to the secondary emitter circuit via the Closely Spaced Tee.
The System Pump circulates the heat to the Distribution Manifold, where Actuators, grouped to form each zone, open and close the ports, which may have more than one PEX Loop. Actuator operation is controlled by the Zone Actuator Controller. Primary circuit flow activates the HydroShark® Boiler.
The PEX Loops can be adjusted individually with a proper Distribution Manifold, which should have flow meters and on/off valves for filling, purging, and adjusting flow for each pex loop. This system may require a Pressure Bypass valve on the Distribution Manifold.
The Closely Spaced Tee allows the primary boiler loop and the secondary emitter loop (PEX loop) to be hydraulically separated from each other. This allows the flow rates of each circuit to be set independently for optimum performance.
