7 Applications Manual THERM/GREENTHERM Tankless Water Heaters 7 5 Pump sizing for circulation The following section outlines pump sizing for domestic hot water recirculation and tank loading. Only models approved for such applications are listed in this section. Pump must be bronze or stainless steel and designed for potable water systems. Size the pump according to the pressure drop curve of your Therm model (fig. 1 below) and the loop pressure drop tables. For direct DHW recirculation and tank loading applications: Run the system for 30 minutes to remove debris from the plumbing. Then remove the unit s inlet water lter to decrease pressure drop through the system. If the inlet water lter, when removed, contains debris, it is recommended to install a 40 mesh Y-strainer (installer supplied) on the cold water inlet. Maximum flow allowed for tank loading through the pump loop is 5 GPM. Maximum flow recommended for direct DHW recirculation is 3 GPM. Maximum flow allowed for mini-tank DHW recirculation is 2 GPM. 5.1 Pressure drop curves C 950 ES C 1050 ES C 1210 series 830 ES, 940 ES / ESO Pressure (Feet of Head) Flow (GPM) Figure 1 Pressure drop curves Bosch Thermotechnology Corp.

8 8 THERM/GREENTHERM Tankless Water Heaters Applications Manual 5.2 Domestic hot water circulation Ariston mini-tank DHW recirculation Reference drawing on page 20. If recirculating through an Ariston mini-tank only, use the smallest pump that will overcome the pressure of the loop. Recommended ow rate within the range of 1 to 2 GPM. This method of recirculation maintains warranty. The tank and the Therm should be set at roughly the same temperature. An aquastat is required to control the recirculation pump operation. An aquastat temperature setting of 110 F with a 10 F differential is recommended. The recirculation flow must be <2 gpm. Higher flows will waste energy and can erode the Ariston anode, requiring frequent anode replacement to maintain its warranty. To minimize energy costs: 1. Insulate all pipes in the recirculation loop. 2. Install a timer or sensor system that will shut the pump off when hot water will not be used. Recirculation loops over 200 feet in total length will require an electric tank with a larger heating capacity than the Ariston 8 gallon model Direct DHW recirculation Reference drawing on page 21. If the Bosch tankless water heater provides the heat source for recirculated water, the heat exchanger warranty is decreased. Please refer to the installation manual for detailed warranty period information. Direct recirculation flow through the tankless water heater must be above 1.7 gpm for best performance. Flow can be verified in the diagnostic menu, mode P4-3d. Refer to the Diagnostic Menu section of your Therm installation manual for details. System conditions vary and each pump must be sized by a professional to insure performance. Refer to pump manufacturers ow vs pressure specications to select a pump that can provide ow between 1.7 gpm and 3 gpm while overcoming the pressure loss through the Therm and the recirculation loop. Refer to gure 1 and table... to determine pressure loss. Use only bronze or stainless steel pumps. Do not use pumps of iron construction as they will oxidize and clog the inlet lter on the appliance. When properly installed in a direct recirculation application the Therm will regulate water temperature in a recirculation loop within a 20 F range. A thermostatic mixing valve is required after the water heater if no other temperature control is used. Closer temperature control can also be accomplished with a recirculation pump aquastat. The Therm temperature setting must always be at least 14 F higher than the aquastat cut-out setting. EXAMPLE: Therm temperature setting: 122 F Aquastat cut-out temperature setting: 108 F To minimize energy costs: 1. Insulate all pipes in the recirculation loop. 2. Install a timer or sensor system that will shut the pump off when hot water will not be used.

9 Applications Manual THERM/GREENTHERM Tankless Water Heaters Tank loading Refer to drawings 13.2 and 13.3 on pages 32 and 33. Tank loading pairs tankless water heaters with storage tanks to maximize peak ow for high demand applications. A tank load system, because of the added storage, can provide a high peak ow with fewer tankless units and lower installed cost. These guidelines should be followed to maximize system output: Ensure flow through each water heater is between gpm. Isolation valves or boiler drains should be installed to facilitate descaling in applications with hard water. For best performance, plumb the system or configure the tank to draw cold supply water into the water heater during hot water use. Maintain a 20 degree temperature difference between tankless set-point and desired tank temperature. Do not use a cascading kit in a tank loading application. When multiple tankless water heaters are used, the total equivalent length of piping to each unit should be kept roughly equal. A reverse return piping scheme is recommended to equalize flow through each water heater. For tank temperature settings above 120 F, the Therm C 1210 ESC is recommended. Other high capacity Therms including the 830 ES, 940 ES/ESO, C 950 ES and C 1050 ES can be used, but a high temperature kit (part ) is required for each. In these applications a thermostatic mixing valve is required.

More detailed information is contained in the installation manuals. Download manuals at Sizing tankless water heaters Rule of thumb sizing The tables below provide a general rule of thumb when sizing for most residential applications. For commercial applications or for a more detailed sizing method, use the Sizing by Chart instructions below in conjunction with the charts on the next page. Sizing by Chart Measure the flow rates at each fixture that will be used simultaneously and add them together. If only one application will be used at a time measure each fixture and use the maximum flow rate observed. Using a known volume container, record several fill times. Perform the calculation below to determine the flow rate (a one gallon fill time of 30 seconds is 2.0 gallons per minute (GPM): Flow rate (GPM) = Volume (gallons) Fill time (sec) x sec 60 min CA OR WA NV ID AZ UT MT CO WY Figure 2 Average ground water temperatures NM ND SD NE KS TX OK MN IA MO AR LA WI IL MS MI IN TN KY AL OH GA WV NC SC PA FL VA NY VT NH MA NJ DE MD ME RI CT F Using a thermometer, measure the incoming water temperature. For reference, see average ground water temperature map. Subtract this temperature from the desired hot water temperature to get the degree rise. If the desired hot water temperature is 120F and incoming temperature is 55F, the desired degree rise is 65F. EXAMPLE: Required flow rate of 2.0 GPM at a 65F rise. Refer to the graphs on page 10. Since the demand is above the 330 PN capacity, this application would require a 520 HN/PN gas tankless water heater.

22 22 THERM/GREENTHERM Tankless Water Heaters Applications Manual 10 High Volume Potable Water Heating Potable water Potable water is water that is suitable for drinking. Bosch Thermotechnology Corp. appliances are approved to heat potable water only. Heating any other liquid other than potable water will void the manfucturer s warranty covering the appliance. Introduction This section lays out the options for high volume water heating for large residential and light commercial applications including continuous ows Cascading unit applications A cascading application should be considered if the potential hot water demand exceeds the capacity of one gas tankless water heater. The cascading set up supports variable ow inputs and is designed for large homes and commercial applications. Use of the Intelligent Cascading Kit, unlike other parallel applications, maintains the activation ow rate of a single appliance. Intelligent Cascading allows up to twenty four appliances to be connected in parallel. One of the appliances will serve as the controlling primary appliance and will attempt to meet the hot water demand. If the hot water demand is beyond the capacity of the primary appliance, a signal is sent to one or more of the secondary appliances to ignite. With the Intelligent Cascading, after each 100 hours of operation, the system will automatically rotate which heater is serving as the primary. An Intelligent Cascading Kit (part no ) must be purchased and installed for each secondary appliance included in the installation. Example: A 7 unit cascade installation includes 1 primary appliance and 6 secondary appliances. 6 intelligent cascading kits must be purchased for this installation.
