I drew a schematic sketch of my entire system, with plate exchanger, here in this thread:

The link to my sketch is at the bottom of page 1, check it out and see if it might help you.

I am waiting on a shipment of 50 plate heat exchangers ( should be in today ) I am going to build up a manifold that makes sense for adding water to the boiler from inside as well as purge ports for future cleaning without removing the plate exchanger and it also has a port to inject air to blow out the lines in case it has to be shut down in the cold season. I should have one done this week and will post a picture of it. note I don't cheap out on parts, copper and brass only.
