Hi Boiler Room,
Recently I have decided to install a wood gasification boiler with warm water underground piping serving 3 buildings.
The property has ledge 2+1/2 to 4 feet down from the ground surface. This creates drainage and ground water problems.
I'm really worried that part of the undergound piping will sit in water and give up heat btu's to the ground instead of the building heat exchangers.
Can you install good underground piping and be sure that it doen't leak and it keeps its insulation value ?
This project is in the design phase. The boiler will be located in a building roughly 85 feet from the main house.
