Two-pipe hot water heating system ... Two-pipe system divides into two classification: the system with direct return and the system with the reversed return.

OBS

[Hot water heating systems.] Two-pipe systems. For large installations the supply of hot water needs to be kept separate from that water which has been cooled by passing through a convector. To accomplish this, one pipe is used to supply the hot water, which then empties into another pipe used for return. This type of system provides the water at as high a temperature as possible.
