The Low-Loss Header, also known as a Hydraulic Balancer, is designed to separate the boiler’s circulation from the heating system for medium to high-power applications (25 kW and above, suitable for an average house). It is used in systems with multiple boilers and various heating circuits, such as floor heating, radiators, and hot utility water. The LLH eliminates the need for manual balancing of pump flows by automatically separating flows and allowing them to operate independently. Its construction includes a desilter and air vent, adding functions of system cleaning and air removal, while also protecting the boiler from low-temperature corrosion of returning water.
Operational Modes:
- When heat demand equals boiler output, the system balances naturally.
- If demand is less than boiler output (e.g., thermostat valves closed), part of the heat returns from the LLH, signaling the boiler to reduce or switch off.
- If demand exceeds boiler output, increased pump suction signals the boiler to boost power.
Features of the Low Loss Header SHE 1 1/2":
