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. ... The return may be classified as reverse return or direct return. The reverse return results in a more even flow of water because the supply and return are of equal length, resulting in equal friction losses. The direct return requires slightly less piping.  3, record 1, English, - two%2Dpipe%20reversed%2Dreturn%20system
