proper brazed plate sizing
« on: November 09, 2015, 05:50:09 AM »
the interior plumbing to my OWB set-up was done before i bought the home. i have a 100,000 btu Utica gas fired boiler that heats my 1,400 sqft home via radiant baseboard heat on two zones. The heat from the OWB to the Indoor boiler is transferred through a 40 plate exchanger. since everything else has been a mess with this original set-up, i figured i would check and see if that is the right size plate???? Any insight would be great!!! i just want to make sure everything is set-up the way it is suppose to be.

thanks

A 40 plate is more than adequate, be sure that it is clean and has good flow!
