Re: Post for feedback
.Not to worry about that ∆. The delta is always moving a bit until you reach thermal equilibrium. The point when temperature has stabilized, not increasing or decreasing across the loop. At that point you should be at design ∆. Probably most systems never are, as @Kaos suggested. It is rare that an installer checks these numbers. It could take hours, days, for a large concrete slab to reach thermal equilibrium on cold start up.
Lower delta= higher heat transfer rates. It does cost a small bit more pumping, and you want to stay below 5 fps velocity to keep things quiet.
Here is the rational for the increased output:
You would need to get up around 8 gpm in 3/4 M copper to exceed 5 fps
Idronics 23 is a good read for understanding heat transfer in Hydronic systems
Lots or residential insyallers that want to know or check flow rates install Quicksetters as you do not need a $3000.00 B&G delta P meter to read them :)

Re: Post for feedback
I think your neutralizer is upside down, the outlet wants to be high to hold back a reservoir there, for more neutralization time,
Re: Please help connect thermostat to navien combi boiler
Lost the install manual already? That's not good. There are on-line copies.
There are also wiring diagrams in the Appendix
Page 43. Thermostat all three wires (Ecobee or NEST) I would probably use Zone 1.
Page 43. Circulator
Has this all been done ?
Re: Trying to understand wiring for heating system
You need to list the components you have
Model of zone valve(s) and quantity
How many thermostats
Do you have an indirect water heater or tankless water heater (probably not the later) ?
quantity of circulators
24 volt gas valve or milivolt gas valve
number of transformers
and more pictures
Re: high velocity ac
If you mean the duct is insulated on the inside like with duct liner, I have never seen round duct that way. Round metal duct insulated on the outside with fiberglass or Armaflex or Pre insulated flex duct
Re: high velocity ac
high velocity system ducts are critical. # of takeoffs per ton MUST be designed properly

Re: Need help with Radiant How to go laying panels over existing floor
typically radiant walks are limited to the lower 3’, so mostly out if harms way for picture hanging etc.

Re: Need help with Radiant How to go laying panels over existing floor
I have to admit the radiant walls make me nervous. I want to put labels on the wall “do not drill or nail - buried radiant piping”. 🤣😀🤪
