Title: plate exchanger plumbing
Post by: AirForcePOL on September 27, 2014, 08:40:38 PM

I have a 20 plate exchanger made by Brent industries that I will hopefully be hooking up tomorrow.  I have identified the connections by blowing in one end and feeling what connection it comes out of.  My question is does it matter which ones I use for my dhw and which ones I use for my boiler water?  I don't see why it would matter but just figured I would ask.  There's no markings or anything on it.  Thanks.

Makes no difference at all but they should be plumbed in counter current flow.
