Re: Trying to sell my steam radiators... Any tips?
The first ones are plain Jane, steam only rads and not adaptable to a hot water system.
However, the last two wall hung ones are quite unique and should hold some interest for steam heads. They could be used with hot water systems also.
I would consider them to be rare and valuable to the right people.
Don't lose the wall hanging brackets

Bypass it and reroute. Let the old pipe in the slab "die on the vine." Mad Dog
Re: Help me calculate pressure drop!
do you need more output?
If not running at a lower firing rate and a more constant run will be most efficient
If you running condensing mode, a small firing rate in a large hx equals more condensation , higher efficiency
The combustion analyzer is important for dialing in an efficient burn

Re: Leaking valve on water tank
This ^^^^^. Before you go to the trouble of replacing it, which would be a bore, try fixing it — which might take a few minutes…
Re: Can someone explain this hydronic loop heating.
That added loop probably emits a small amount just from convection.
Unless we don't see another piping connection, I don't see it actually circulating through?

Re: Heat Pump Cooling Not Working
It looks like the 45uF part Capacitor is out of spec. +/- 6% However at 41.3 uF I would think it still would work.

Re: Can someone explain this hydronic loop heating.
I would use a manual bleeder. Less likely to leak in an area where they are not visible
Re: Help with Goodman GSXC16 Error code 04
Sounds like time to measure the voltage and current at the capacitors an calculate the capacitance to see if it is even close. 3 years seems about right for lowest bidder caps.

Re: What is causing this?
If it is glycol, that dark color often indicates the glycol has gone acidic It will attack the soft metals
I would flush the system, run a cleaner, then refill
If there are no pipes exposed to freezing, you may not need glycol
Those look like the older flow setters that you clamped a meter around to read. I don’t see a reason for check valves on the loops?
