Need Wood Boiler Piping Diagrahm New Yorker WC90

[Wood Pirate]

My New Yorker WC90 is apparently arriving in 3-5 days. I was wondering if anyone could reccomend a piping diagrahm. I currently have a Utica Oil boiler with 4 zones. 1 zone is dedicated for a Bock indirect fired 50 gal hot water heater. The other 3 zones are for heating the living space upstairs.

I am planning on adding a 5 zone for my dump zone into my garage / workshop.

When I get to work tomorrow I will scan a sketch in of what I have.

Any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated. I do have the directions from New Yorker and can pipe it but am a bit confused as to why they are doing certain things. Keep in mind I have plumbing skills but am very far from an expert.

Thanks

Paul

I did a sketch of my system but am having alot of trouble attaching the sketch to this post.

In any case I want to pipe my new New Yorker WC90 to my existing Utica oil boiler. My current system includes 5 Zones.

3 Are used for heating sections of the house upstairs. One zone is dedicated to my 50 Bock indirect fired hot water heater. The Fifth zone is a spare I left when I did the original piping.

I was planning on using the spare zone as my dump zone. I would run a pipe to the garage from this zone and install in the garage either a section of baseboard or a modine type heater.

My questions are:
1. Does anyone have reccomedations on how I should pipe between the two boiler?
2. What size pipe should I use to my dump zone and what BTU unit should I use in my garage for dumping heat?

Thanks

For simple systems, I'm a fan of zone valve based supply / return systems with the boilers connected in parallel. If you look at the 'simplest pressurized storage' sticky and delte the stoareg and load circulator, I think you're there.
