In the June Hydronics Workshop column, “Recent Sightings,” we looked at four hydronic heating systems that were “operationally challenged,” to say the least. Each system suffered at least one design flaw that prevented it from reaching its potential as a silent and efficient conveyor for Btus.
This month I’ll show some solutions for these problems. Keep in mind, in most cases there are other valid ways of correcting the problems. My solutions were developed to show a variety of hardware options.
