Correct Answer: Option A — 180F to 200F oo
Low-temperature hot water heating systems typically operate within the 180F to 200F range. This temperature is sufficient for effective heat transfer in marine radiators or air handling units while remaining safely below the boiling point at standard operating pressures, minimizing the risk of steam formation in the piping.
