OK , now after reviewing your original drawing and first post, I see your wood boiler water is entering the plate exchanger at 160 degrees,This is not hot enough to satisfy your heating demand, baseboard heat needs to have 180 degrees minimum to function properly. Please turn up the temp on the wood boiler to at least 180, next are you sure of the direction of flow in the plate exchanger as it is wrong in the drawing, all plate exchangers should be plumbed with counter current flow, this means if your wood boiler water is entering in the bottom of the plate exchanger then the oil boiler water should enter at the top, this will help with the transfer of heat! Is the wood boiler water being supplied to the heat exchanger from the top of the boiler or bottom, hottest water in the wood boiler will be at the top, if you are pulling from the bottom of your wood boiler, this would be an easy fix to simply reverse the circulator on the wood boiler, is the circ at the wood boiler or inside at the heat exchanger?
