Is a circulating pump located on the supply or the return line in hot water heating systems'?

It can be in either location, depending on your head pressure ie a circ on the head or "pump away" will circulate water better in upper floors. If the system is in a 2 or 3 story house using standard baseboard, then having the circulator in either position wont matter. Most all manufacturers are shipping and or directing installers to pump away...circulator on the supply....

Why is it desirable to return as much condensate to the boiler as passible?

In order to assure that the boiler has enough make up water to continue w/ normal operations w/ out having to introduce new water to the system that would bring in additional air and impurities that would be harmful to the system.


How to add water to hot water heating system with radiators?

Normally through an automatic feeder preset 12-15 psiIdeally you want a slow feed so as not to thermo shock the boiler and cause premature failure.=Most make up water is supplied on the return side of the boiler to temper the incoming water=


How it works forced water heating system?

A boiler heats water to a safe heating temperature, often 180 degrees or so, and when a thermostat calls for heat, circulating pumps move the water from the boiler to the radiators where it heats the air surrounding the radiant surface, causing localized convective heating as well as some amount of conductive and radiant heat transfer. others have said: Stratification HEAT goes to the cold.

What removes excess heat from the reactor's circulating water system?

In a PWR the reactor's circulating water (the primary circuit) goes through steam raising units where it gives up heat to the secondary water circuit and produces steam there which goes to the turbine. In a BWR the reactor produces a mixture of steam and water, the steam is separated and goes to the turbine where it is eventually cooled in the turbine condenser.


If your kitchen is 50 feet from the hot water tank is there any way to get faster hot water to that side of the house?

Install a wall mount instant hot water heater under the sink. It might be best to put a small water heater under the sink. Another option is a circulating pump. If you have access to the plumbing all the way back to the water heater, you can add a hot water return line, then put in a pump that keeps the hot water circulating. If you do that you might want to add insulation to the hot water line.
