Hello everyone!
This is my first post. I've been reading through a lot of the topics here and have learned a lot! I have a harman HydroFlex 60 and absolutely love it. I didn't do the plumbing myself so I have more of a general knowledge of its workings. I believe it's plumbed in series. There's a pump that circulates water between the two boilers at all times.
I'm hoping to get a little bit of help to optimize the system. I have the feed rate at 4, and the min and max temps at 160/180. When the water reaches 180 in the pellete boiler, my oil boiler's temp gauge can run anywhere between 150-160 (usually closer to 150). Does that sound normal? Is there anyway I can bring that temperature up in the oil boiler without firing it? If I want to keep it up I can set the temp of the water in the oil boiler to 160+ but then it fires fairly often; once or twice an hour for a few minutes at a time.
Thanks for any help! Let me know if I need to explain more.
