3. PLUMBING DIAGRAMS
3.1 Open collector
The open collector prevent mutual disturbance between pumps that work
on different circuits.
Besides varying the differential pressure of the system, it can also vary the
temperatures, because substantial mixing may take place in it.
The following cases may occur:

In all cases, the design temperature based upon which the terminals of the
system are sized is the secondary delivery temperature.
