Is there a mixing valve to raise the water temp above 140 before returning to the boiler?I shut off the floor heat and plumbed in a heat exchanger for the time being.My water was returning to the boiler at 75 deg through the floor.Definately new to slab heat.Thanks for any advice!
 
Caleffi ThermoProtec, Danfos ESBE, or ThermoVar LK823 are what you need for boiler protection. Also consider a buffer tank or hydraulic separate and a constant flow pump on the radiant.
