continuous circulation

Joe_55

I an installing an 80m munchkin with 60gal. superstor, I've heard of this continuous circulation with mixing valves and outdoor reset control (i have primary/secondary loops with closely spaced tees and circulators) your thoughts on that please

Generally,

Constant circ is self levelling, not needing O.R.

Depending on what valves and what controls, I have always been extremely fond of c.c., with condensing boilers it is a superb strategy - generally. You do not provide enough detail however, to make it a slam-dunk, at least not yet.

I use constant circ

whenever I can on radiant floors. I also use it on cast iron rads. The only time I can think of that it doesnt make sense is hydro air. I'm sure theres more I just can't think of it. WW

Constant Recirc

I am a big fan of constant recirc provided that you have an indoor sensor to fine tune the reset water temp. IMHO, I think that the additional indoor sensor feedback is essential in a well designed high-mass radiant floor heat system. So, it depends on your method of heat transfer. If you are using the reset temp with a hot-water coil and air-handler, it might not be as critical.
