    circulator placement

    I just had a new heating system installed (Triangle Tube, prestige 175) with a smart 50 domestic water heat exchanger. The drawing in the manual does not agree with what has been installed.

    Here a drawing of what has been installed

    boiler------------------------------------pump-->boiler
    | | | |
    pump | pump |
    | | | |
    V | V |
    heat exchanger radiators

    Here a drawing of what the manual says:

    boiler-----------pump---------------------------->boiler
    | | | |
    pump pump | |
    | | | |
    | V | |
    | radiators |
    V |
    -------heat exchanger-------

    Does anybody know if this make any difference? Is any of these arrangements better than the other? Should I be concerned that the installer did not follow the manual?

    Nicer drawing

    My drawing looked so nice in the message window before submission.

    Here a drawing of what the manual says:

    boiler-----------pump---------------------------->boiler | | | | pump pump | | | | | | | V | | | radiators | V | -------heat exchanger-------

    Next and hopefully final try at drawing

    My drawings in the text window are obviously not working, here I am attaching the drawings.

    Here a drawing of what has been installed and of what is in the manual are attached.

    I like the

    your second drawing where you are showing the indirect as your buffer tank in line with the primary loop. then it shows a space heating loop as a secondary loop. Classic primary/secondary type piping using the tank as the high temp load while either stepping down or injecting with the secondary loop.
