BACKGROUND
Application Concept
I.  Kit is for applications that employ ECR Stainless Condensing 
boiler to work with an additional heating device.
II.  If the additional heating device can constantly supply 
hot water at 165°F or HIGHER, it is considered a HIGH 
Temperature Heating Device. Follow installation procedure 
in SECTION A. Following are common High Temperature 
Heating Devices
• Indoor wood water boiler
• Outdoor wood water boiler
• Electric boiler
III.  If Additional Heating Device only constantly supplies 
hot water at LESS THAN 165°F, it is considered a LOW 
Temperature Heating Device. Follow installation procedure 
in SECTION B. Following are common Low Temperature 
Heating Devices.
• Geothermal hot water heating device
• Solar water heating device
• Electric hot water heat pump
IV.  Heating capacity of the additional heating device will be fully 
utilized when available.
V.  Stainless Condensing boiler will fire only when the additional 
heating device cannot satisfy heat demand.
Water Flow Arrangement
VI.  The piping connection establishes flow where water flows 
through the two heating devices (Stainless Condensing boiler 
and Additional Heating Device) in a sequential manner. The 
goal is to make the two heating units work together at the 
maximum possible system heating efficiency.
If the additional heating device is a HIGH temperature device, 
return water goes into the Stainless Condensing boiler first. 
The purpose is to have the stainless condensing boiler work in 
the condensing regime as much as possible. SECTION A.
If the additional heating device is a LOW temperature heating 
device, return water flows into additional heating device first 
to fully utilize the capacity of the additional heating device.  
SECTION B.
VII. The water flow arrangement takes advantage of the Stainless 
Steel Condensing boiler's built in primary loop and internal 
water pump.
Water Temperature Control
VIII. The system is configured so the Stainless Condensing boiler 
control system will modulate its firing rate to sustain Supply 
Water Temperature at the setting point in all conditions.
• When Additional Heating Device is supplying heat at 
its full capacity.
• When Additional Heating Device is supplying heat at 
reduced capacity.
• When Additional Heating Device is not supplying 
heat. 
Heating Priority Establishment
IX.  The two heating units are configured to supply heat in the 
following manner. 
• When the Additional Heating Device alone CANNOT 
maintain supply water temperature at or higher 
than the temperature set point of the Stainless 
Condensing boiler, the Stainless Condensing boiler 
will fire.
• When the Additional Heating Device alone CAN 
maintain a supply water temperature higher 
than the temperature set point of the Stainless 
Condensing boiler, the Stainless Condensing boiler 
will NOT fire.
