Generated explanation

A building cross section shows a hot-water heating system with a boiler below three radiators. Red supply piping carries hot water to the radiators, and blue return piping carries cooled water back to the boiler, with arrows indicating flow direction. Three methods of balancing heat distribution are identified: radiator valves, header valves, and pipe sizing. Dashed circles highlight valve locations and a section of return piping associated with pipe sizing.
