Central Heating Quiz phase 2 1.4/2

What does a low loss header provide?

• A hydraulic break between the primary and secondary heating circuits.

• A constant flow rate through the boiler.

• Independent control of different zones.

• Temperature control over the primary circuit.

Which pipe circuit connects the boiler to the low loss header?

• Primary circuit

• Secondary circuit

• Tertiary circuit

• Quaternary circuit

On a secondary circuit, what does a low loss header allow?

• Installation of circuits with different heat emitter types and flow rates.

• Independent control of different zones.

• Temperature control over the primary circuit.

• Constant flow rate through the boiler.

What are buffer tanks?

• A hydraulic break between the primary and secondary heating circuits.

• A secondary heat source or 'thermal store'.

• A constant flow rate through the boiler.

• Independent control of different zones.

What two environmental benefits can buffer tanks bring to a system?

• Saves energy and helps reduce carbon footprint of the building

• Improves efficiency and lifespan of the boiler

• Allows for individual zones to be created with different flow rates

• Maintains equal velocity through the heat exchangers

What are the two main advantages of using buffer tanks in a heating system?

• They increase the energy efficiency and reduce the building's carbon footprint

• They enhance the boiler's performance and extend its service life

• They enable the creation of separate zones with varying flow rates

• They ensure consistent velocity across the heat exchangers

What is the primary function of a low loss header in a heating system?

• To maintain a steady temperature in the primary circuit.

• To provide a hydraulic separation between the primary and secondary circuits.

• To control the flow rate through the boiler.

• To allow independent control of different heating zones.
