Boiler - Large water content - Active mixing
...
The boiler in this example is demand controlled, more information on this control strategy can be found in Basic boiler controls. Furthermore the distribution circuits of every branch is active mixing, which means no primary pump is needed. The boiler however has to have a large water content because the flow through the boiler is variable and in partial load this can be nearly zero. Templates for boilers with minimal flow rate can be found in Small water content (open header) and Header configuration.

Boiler - Large water content - Passive mixing
...
This template is similar as the previous template “Boiler - Large water content - Active mixing“, except for the passive mixing circuits instead of the active mixing circuits. Because a passive mixing circuit is used, a pump is needed. In this case both boiler and pump can handle a nearly zero flow rate. If this is not the case, templates with minimum flow protection can be found in Header configuration.

Boiler - Large water content - Variable flow
...
This template is similar as the previous template “Boiler - Large water content - Passive mixing“, except for the throttle valves instead of the passive mixing circuits. Throttle valves cant be controlled to change the supply temperature, but control the flow rate. In this case both boiler and pump can handle a nearly zero flow rate. If this is not the case, templates with minimum flow protection can be found in Header configuration.
