Heat exchanger reccomendation?

Jim Franklin

I'm looking at options for running a few FHW zones off a steamer. I'd like to do this with a heat exchanger rather than using the boiler water. Biggest load is a priority-zoned 45 gal SuperStor, so figure 100,000 BTUH exchanger.

Floor space is at a premium in the boiler room but the walls are bare. Can regular Hx units be wall mounted? I've never even seen one before so this is new territory for me.

thanks,

Yes - can wall mount

This is a photo of a small snow melt system. You will note the heat exchanger is mounted so its connections face the wall. If you look closely, you will see copper split ring hangers on the upper right and lower middle.

Not exactly what I would have done, we just sold/designed the system.

Maybe this will give you an idea.

Good luck on your project.
