OK I was looking at this website
http://wood-heating-solutions.com/outdoor-furnace-parts/insulated-pex-pipe/
And I noticed that they claim 1.5 to 1.62° heat loss on their three wrap pex tubing. I emailed Randy and asked him if that was both directions or just on the supply side and how much I would lose with only 50 feet run.
Here is his reply:
" at 50ft you would lose .62 degrees supply and return."
My response:
" so, 1.2 deg round trip?"
And his answer:
"No, hot water goes in cold water comes back the .62 is the hot water line the return cold water line has nothing to do with it."
Can somebody clarify this for me please? I thought the water returning was still hot and therefore if you lose temperature on the return it's still heat loss.
