To really protect my system I am thinking I should take advantage of my overheat circuit on my controller.
I have the Econoburn 200 and I have the no power dump zone set up with the automag for that situation.
But what about over heat if say my boiler pump fails and fan keeps runnning?
The boiler has an aquastat set at 205 that will kill the fan. The controller will also energize another circuit for an additional pump. I have considered adding T's in my main boiler supply near boiler and tank so if I had an overtemp from a pump failure it would start pump and dump the excess in to the tank.
If this is a good idea what size pipe would you use for this? My supply pipe is 1 1/2" copper. Would 1" handle an overheat?
My other thought was to put a RIB relay before the Auto mag. I could have it normally closed. If the overheat circuit energizes it would open the automag circuit so it would lose power and open. Boiler could then shed heat through no power dump zone.
So what do you think would work?
What method would you recommend.
