Plumbing / Hooking up to indoor boiler

« on: October 03, 2013, 12:17:56 PM »

I am tying in a 1450 to a pressurized oil boiler with 4 zones. 3 for baseboard heat 1 for indirect DHW. I planned to put stub ins on the return to the furnace after the circulators for a 50 plate heat exchanger and turn the set point on the burner down to 160. I have a coldstart control on the boiler (150,000 btu) Was wondering if I should go with a wrap around to keep the boiler hot all the time then I wont have to turn the temp down on the boiler. Downside to that is a warm basement when heating the pool in the summer. Any thoughts would be great.
