Plumbing / Re: Plate heat exchanger plumbing

« on: August 27, 2014, 08:42:55 PM »

I was getting ready to install my plate exchanger, and was planning on doing it before the tank. I was wondering if the plate exchanger would heat my domestic water up to boiler temp, and if it did how long do you think it would stay hot in the water tank. I read where some guys say to put it after the tank so your water heater never, but it seems to me that if you would put it before the tank and was putting boiler temp water into the water heater it would never kick on unless you left it set for a couple days with no use. What do you guys think

I was basically wanting to know if 2 20 plate exchangers for domestic water, a 16x20 water to air exchanger, and radiant under 150 square foot room would be to much on one loop. one 20 plate exchanger and the radiant heat would be for my laundry room, the others would be for my house. The laundry room has a crawl space of its own and the house has a crawl space of its own and no way between the two. I didn't know if it would be best to run the laundry room as its own loop and the house as its own loop or go into the laundry room with my pex then return outside and go on around my house into its crawl space.
Sorry for making this so confusing. I am new to all of this and not sure what questions I should be asking. Don't hesitate to correct me if you see something wrong. Thanks for all the help

Hopefully a large shop will be built this summer if the weather ever straightens out.

Yes that's correct, there is no way to access the crawl space under the house from the crawl space under the laundry room. I did some measuring and it is not going to save me as much pipe as I initially thought. I think I am just going to run two separate loops so I can heat my garage that is attached to the laundry if I feel like it later.  Thanks for the input.

Thanks for the advice. The only reason I was wanting to do it all in one loop was just to save some insulated pex and only have to use one circulator. It sounds like I should just run the laundry room as its own loop and the house as its own loop.

Hello I am going to be installing a owb this summer my house is around 1200 sq feet ranch decent insulation and just crawl space the home has a laundry and bath room that is separated by a large concrete breezeway with stairs I can not get between the main part of the house and laundry room is what I was wondering is if it would be possible to run my insulated pipe to the laundry room first as it will be closest to the boiler heat the domestic water out there with a 20 plate exchanger (I have to have a water heater out there separate because of concrete slab) then exit that room back outside  circle around the house and then heat my domestic water and a water to air exchanger in the main part of the house then with the return water as it goes back through the laundry room do a radiant heat under the floor I was planning on using the dual 1 in logstor pipe not sure about pump yet but I did not know if it would be to much of a load to do all that and make my return temps to low any help would be appreciated thanks
