Frequently Asked Questions

A. Yes, to some extent, as the flow velocity in the body is low. We provide a Flamco AAV and DN25 drain valve on all FlexEJ low loss headers. However, separation is not as efficient as using a dedicated air/dirt separator as the main low velocity section in the LLH is bounded by turbulent cross flows.

A. Opinions vary but ideally all the primary circuit and secondary circuit flow and returns should be brought together in horizontal manifolds before connection to the low loss header.

A. On a vertical low loss header the returns connect at the bottom and the flows at the top. If the connections are staggered side to side then the lower pair are normally the primary side.

A. Sizing can be expressed in terms of flow rate or power. In heating systems, the total boiler power in the primary circuit is often taken as the sizing criteria. The power rating is directly proportional to the flow rate and temperature difference as given by m.Cp.Δt – Power (kW) = Mass flow rate (kg/s) * Specific Heat of Water (kJ/kg°K) * Temperature difference (°K). Our product table above shows both nominal flow rate and power ratings.

A. We have an online low loss header calculator we’ve built to help you – or do  please get in touch with the details of your system and we will be pleased to help.

A. Based on the flow rate through the low loss header the body is sized to achieve a very low flow velocity – typically less than 0.3m/s. This low velocity ensures a low pressure drop between flow and return.

A. Yes – strictly speaking hydraulic separation between circuits is achieved using a low loss header.

A. A low loss header (LLH) provides hydraulic separation between multiple pumped circuits. This allows each circuit to operate independently and to be controlled for optimum efficiency. The header presents very low pressure drop bypass between the flow and return. FlexEJ low loss headers are provided with sensor ports on all four branches so whatever control system is being implemented you will have the port you need.

A. Our Flange Finder contains details for many common flanges. Typically, to be able to make the identification you need to know the bore size or outside diameter and number of bolts. For technical assistance contact us or use our Live Chat facility.
