spectively. These figures would also illustrate forced circulation if a pump or circulator were shown in the return line at the boiler.
One-pipe gravity systems require very precise design owing to the small circulating head available. Also, circulation in them is slow, and tem perature drop is large toward the end of the main, and consequently these systems are usually considered impractical.
One-pipe-forced systems compared with gravity systems provide more rapid circulation, with consequent smaller temperature drop in mains and more-uniform water temperature in all radiators, and are therefore preferred. Special flow and return fittings are available for improving the
circulation to risers. Two-pipe systems have .separate flow and return mains. If the return
main is direct as shown in Fig. 5 the radiator at the end of the system has
