buffer tank piping
@ August 19, 2010 7:18 AM in buffer tank piping
We are doing an Engineered LEEDS radiant heating system that has the attached piping diagram for the boiler / "buffer ' tank / manifold piping. It is my understanding that the the main purpose for the tank is to add the solar heat which is by a seperate contractor. My concern is that the diagram shows the water off the top of the tank supplying the zones but also going to the inlet of the boiler. Will that not send the hottest water to the inlet of the of the boiler forcing it to heat water from 140 upward which defeats the efficiency of the Knight boilers? On the other hand if I take the water from the bottom of the tank will the tank heat from the top down to the sensor located in the center of the tank? Maybe I'm just overthinking the process but with all the emphasis on efficiency I want to be doing what works best not just what somebody drew from older diagrams?
