A permanent capacitor, impedance protected motor (no start
switch) on the circulator is required. The maximum allowable
amperage for this output is 2.2 amps, which limits the
allowable circulator size to 1/6 HP.
This type of system can use a small circulator to inject a high
BTU input into a relatively large system flow. Typically, the
injection pump need only deliver 1/6 to 1/4 of the system flow
for low temperature radiant panels if high temperature water
is available for injection. In small hydronic systems, the
smallest available circulator for variable speed injection may
be too large. It is important to properly size the injection pump
and use a globe valve on the return injection leg.
For proper injection pump sizing, the designer must know the
following information:
(See fig. b)
F
V
= Flow Rate (Injection Loop) in GPM
F

= Radiant (Secondary Loop) Flow Rate in GPM
T

= Boiler (Primary Loop) Supply Temperature

= Radiant (Secondary Loop) Supply Temperature

Note:

conditions. The formula used for sizing the

Example:
If values at design conditions are:
F
1
= Radiant (Secondary) Flow = 30 GPM
T
1
= Boiler (Primary) Supply = 180°F
T
2
= Radiant (Secondary) Supply = 140°F
T
R
= Radiant (Secondary) Return = 120°F
T
D
= Radiant (Secondary) Differential = 20°F
To find the injection pump flow rate:
F
V
= (30 x 20)
/
(180 - 120)
F
V
= (600)
/
(60)
F

= 10 GPM
