I am just looking for a little friendly reassurance here all.
My installer called me the other day to discuss my system. (Varmebaronen Vedolux 37, 660 gallons of storage) He was concerned that my storage was too big for this system, and wanted to know if I had run the numbers on it. He was thinking that there would be a problem trying to heat up this much water, and that a big slug of cold water coming back from the zones would really hurt the performance of the system.
Now with all of the reading I have done here, Im positive this isnt the case. (Im wanting to use Tarm's PT-1 piping scheme, for those that want to know).
But it did make me wonder about the cold slug of water, since I hadnt thought of that before. When a zone first starts up, I could see getting back water thats around 65 degrees or so. If I understand this correctly, the idea is that this will go to the bottom of my storage tank, where my loading valve will allow it to get back to the boiler after its tempered.
He has installed a number of wood boilers, but was worried that since I was using more tanks than were called out for by Tarm, I was putting too much of a burden on the system.
Im just looking for a little reassurance that Im not crazy, and that I just need to do a little more explaining to him to make it all work...
