Proper controls for Munchkin

Mr.Cricket thinks you said that the Vision 1 comes with the Munchkin as a standard part.

Proper controls for Munchkin

I am considering a Munchkin with Superstore for my home. This would replace a Bradford White Combicore that heats my DHW and radiant heat for a master BR and bathroom. Today, I also have a hot water loop running off my steam boiler, through a heat exchanger, so it seems that it would be wise to move this to the new boiler so the steamer is just for steam. I'm sure I'll also have much better efficiency, as well.

From a controls perspective, I'll want the radiant water temp to change with the outdoor temp, with a range of perhaps 100* to 160* for the staple up radiant; while the baseboard loop will need an upper temp of 180*.

What controls will I need to accomplish this properly?

Thanks,

Steve

outdoor reset

That comes with the Vision 1 package.

Make sure your contractor is Vision certified by HTP.

No, it doesn't.

What?

Outdoor reset basically IS the Vision 1 package. The OP didn't exactly say (or type) outdoor reset, but that's what I understood he was talking about.

The OP wants reset in one loop and 180F in another.

You can reset baseboard. If your max temp staple up is 160, you could even reset it with the baseboard.

If you want to be a purist, then you'd have to use the vision two with a mixing valve, though we vastly prefer a teknet 4 system with an interface card to run them for mixing, like a tn4 422 controller.
