TR45 Triangle Tube indirect water heater and Bosch Greenstar mod/con boiler

in THE MAIN WALL
So my new Bosch boiler does not like the output from the TR45 Triangle Tube indirect water heater and it only accepts the Bosch temp sensor.

Anyone know where exactly the dry well is located in the TR45 which I can use for the Bosch temp sensor? Also, it is very difficult to remove the top plastic cover of the TR45 without removing all of the pipes (supply and return), they are directly on top of the unit. If I had known of this issue before hand, I could have removed the cover etc before installing.

thx.

    Take a look at the top of the tank. There should be a plate with screws. Remove it. If i recall its a snap sensor that can be connected to where the DHW contacts.

    Page 15 of the manual.

    In the past I have done 2 things....both times being slow. You can shave down the bosch sensor to fit in the dry well. and very carefully drill the opening in the dry well just a bit.
    I would do the shaving / sanding first.

    You'll have to remove the aquastat from the TT tank. It has a bulb that goes all the way down in a well under it. The Bosch sensor MUST go all the way down in the well or else the tank won't get heated quickly enough during a draw down.

    I have a feeling I DONT have a TR45 tank. I have a plastic cover on top. Under the sensor wiring is just a hole for the wiring to go in.

    That is what I have. Phase 3 TT. Any idea how to get to the dry well on this? That towel with the sensor is what I have currently as "tank temp". Ha.

    If you pop out the plastic panel that the knob and terminals are mounted in, you will see the drywall. Just pull out the old and drop the new one in to the same level.

    It will pop out with a flat head screwdriver?

    I think I have a HL-xx series tank. Plastic top.

    Yup, HL45. Marshmallow tank. Too bad they discontinued. Was a good horizontal option. You have a survivor!
