tice. Pumping out of a boiler places the boiler at the pump suction,
which is the lowest pressure point in the system. This allows any
dissolved air to work its way out at that point. It lets the boiler be
designed for and work at no more than the fill pressure of the system.
Pumping through the chiller makes the chiller, which typically has
a relatively high (10- to 20-ft) pressure drop, the first pressure-drop
device in the system. This reduces the remaining pressure throughout
the system. Chiller heat exchangers (tube bundles) are usually rated
for 150 lb / in
