I've got my designs.. I've got my schematics. I've got my boiler, draft inducer, danfoss.
Storage is in, and ready for plumbing.
Plumbers are coming Wednesday morning. I think there's 3 of them, including the boss (he's a friend from my snowmobile club)
They are bringing the pipe threader and gonna hit the ground running. The boss is headed to the supply house after we review plans and placement on plumbing. I've got a pretty good idea on what's going where.
The only real debate left (I've picked out expansion tanks, pumps, and controls) is if I want to put an aquastat in my oil boiler.. and have storage continually charge the oil boiler to 130. OR do and injection loop tied into the out leg of the oil boiler. THUS, the oil boiler would only be heating to whatever temp the RETURN water from the zones is (it will be cool.. as the radiant upstairs loops go out at 140)
I'm leaning toward the injection loop route. Boiler is a cold start, and I really don't see a need to keep it hot, especially in summer months, when the only zone to come on will be my DHW indirect loop a few times a day.
I'm not too well versed in the injection loop.. but mark at ahona did the calculations, and I'm confident I can have it installed per his directions.
Any other things I should tell the plumbers?
