Which of the following statements regarding a hydronic heating system is accurate in its
description?
1. the water circulation must take the water from the boiler and move it through the individual
terminals or heating units where the heat is emitted and then return the water to the condensate
tank.
2. the water circulator takes the water from the feed pump discharge and moves it through the
individual terminals or heating units where the heat is absorbed and any remaining steam turns to
liquid then it is returned to the boiler to be reused again.
3. the water circulator must take the water from the boiler and move it through the individual
terminals or heating units where the heat is emitted and then returns the water to the boiler to be
reheated.
4. none of the statements provides an accurate description for a hydronic heating system. correct
