remodel
Member Posts: 64
1) Is it worth it to put in a smaller boiler pump and smaller system pump? Boiler a loch 155. Right now I have about 8gpm to the system and 8gpm to boiler all zones calling. One zone calling I have 4 gpm -5gpm to system and 8 gpm at boiler. At 30%-50% fire boiler DT good, at 20% - 7 degree DT. System oversized by 25% so might be a moot point.
2) Can I put cast iron rad/panel rads in place of fin tube BB at the end of my series loop or will I rob too much heat? I would have to pipe it in series and this loop has one FCU off of monoflows right after rad replacement. The remove and replace is about 50%-60% of the 1st floor emitter length.
3) Is negative DT alright at start-up?
