Troubleshooting a Circulator Pump | DoItYourself.com
A boiler's circulator pump is used to remove hot water from the boiler, and then pass it into heating devices such as the radiator or a convection pipe system. The power of the pump is enough to cause the water to travel right back up to the boiler from the pipework. Using a circulation pump is a great way of keeping water traveling throughout the system.

How to size a Circulator Pump. Taco pump curves.
All circulator pumps are typically sized based on the heat load and head loss (pressure drop) for a given zone. Knowing the heat load (in BTU's) for a given zone, allows to calculate the required circulator pump's flow rate in gallons per minute (GPM). For hot water hydronic or radiant heating applications, the following equation can be used:

How does the circulator on a boiler work? | Shop Your Way
The pump is typically located on the return piping adjacent to the boiler. Some feel that the pumps work better if they pump away from the boiler. This means putting the pump on the supply piping.

A circulator run dry will fail fairly quickly, at least most of them use the water to lubricate their bearings. Having the expansion tank before the pump helps to ensure the pump stays full of water and not create microbubbles or water flashing to steam.
