GRAVITY CIRCULATION For gravity circulation, the one-pipe system shown in Fig. 6 and the two-pipe direct return system shown in Fig. 7 are probably in most common use. The one-pipe system has the disadvantage that the radiator nearest the

boiler is the only one which receives water at approximately the tem perature at which it leaves the boiler. All other radiators receive cooler water and must be proportionally increased in size, so the total heating surface in the system is considerably larger than that in a corresponding two-pipe system.
The pipe sizes in gravity circulation systems may be varied. As the pipe sizes are decreased, the temperature drop through the radiators, which produces circulation, is increased and. it becomes necessary to increase the temperature of the water leaving the boiler so that the mean temperature in the radiator remains constant. For example, Fig. 8 shows
