Plumbing / DHW question?

« on: February 08, 2014, 11:55:22 PM »

Does anyone see if there would be any issues with coming off the return side of my 100 plate water to water heat exchanger that returns to the OWB and installing a plate heat exchanger to a hot water heater. I have 2 hot water heaters and maybe was even thinking of running to both of them before returning to the burner. Whats your thoughts. Also how many plate exchanger on the DHW heaters. One hot water heater is for the kitchen and washer and the other is for 2 bath rooms. The previous owner didnt like waiting for hot water at the kitchen sink.Also do I hook these up at the intake of DHW heater or after? Thanks for the help. Also im running a B&G pl-36 pump that runs 24/7

you sound like you are right on target, Scott. I can move the temp probe down a inch and drop temp several degrees. Im pulling off the top should i switch to the bottom? If I do I dont think i will ever get the water to get 180 degrees coming in the house. The top is just like a cover over the water jacket. Its just laying over it. Then I took some foam board and layed it over that. Then made anouther lid to lay over that. I was thinking of welding the first lid on and putting a blow off valve in. Whats your thoughts on that.

It appears to me that Im burning way to much wood. I have to stuff this thing with wood every 12 hours. Does that sound right. How much wood do you all go through in 24 hrs? Also i have to add water do to steam every 3 days. How do i stop that?

I'm getting reading of 105 off of the grates. But i am now worried that the air in the system may cause corrosion. If i separate the 2 systems then that possibility will be gone. I'm heating the home good now after bleeding the air out. So I know it works.  But now i am thinking of the system later down the road. What kind of heat exchanger do you recommend? Can i put a separate thermostat on the extra pump that i will need to by? also will be hooking up 2 hwh this summer.
