I'm trying to get my mind around the details of the boiler
install. Got a couple of unresolved items that I hope the
more knowledgeable on the board could shed some light on.
I apologize for the simplistic questions..
My present heating system is a primary/secondary propane
boiler hydronic system. 3 zones of baseboard , 1 of radiant infloor.
If I understand the way to procede, is to hook the output on the
wood boiler (econoburn 150) above the secondary row of tees and hook
the wood boiler return to the output line on the gas boiler.
To add storage I make a new zone. So far so good.
I want the wood boiler to service primary demand when called for.
My plumber (has done a few of these installs, most recent a year
or so ago a Tarm60) says the boiler on full burn will have output
above the baseboard demand and will need to shunt hot water to the
storage zone. OK-- what tells the storage pump to do this? What hardware
how to install ect? An aquastat somewhere in the primary system hooked to
some sort of Circpump control?
My plumber tell me to find him a schematic, the
factory was not helpfull in answering my questions today...So
I'm kinda on my own..for now.
It's my hope to feed the infloor radiant off the stored hot water.
How can I get a circulation loop between the stored hot water and
the radiant circ pump?
It seem like I'm missing something here between the basic understanding
of how this works and some sort of interface control. Is there any
product that will be able to tell these different devices when and how
to function?
The supplied manual is woefully inadquate IMO.
Any help appreciated.. MM
