Slant fin Hydronic Explorer question

Im trying to experiment with different water temps. For example, Im going from a 180 baseboard design to a 150 degree design. I see no change in the baseboard lenths though.

Im using a condensing modulating boiler and Id like to size the BB using 150 degree water without reset or outdoor temp controls. I just figure suppling at 150 should get the return to under 137 to keep the boiler condensing to get the greatest efficiency.

  • Hydronic Explorer 1 had trouble doing that

    It was one of the first changes that we made when we developed HE 2.

    Try this: After you change the water temperature, change something on the room data page. Change a room length, or something. This should make it recalculate with the new water temp. Then change it back to the correct number. It'll calculate again.

    ORRRRrrrrrrr, go here:
