Installing plate exchange for hydro unit in garage, than adding glycol on hydro side. Should we put a releif valve and expasion tank on the closed hydro side? Plate exchange is getting hooked up to residentail bioler.

    Mark,

    Every plate exchanger we install we treat as if it where a complete hydronic system. The flat plate is our boiler; we then install an air-separator, expansion tank, and pump (pumping forward of the expansion tank of coarse. Although, we do not put a feeder or back flow on our glycol side. Instead we install a boiler drain and feed our system through here. That way nothing could ever get into the home.

    Almost forgot, on the return side of our flat plate we put a boiler relief valve!

    A wye strainer wouldn't be a bad idea either. Keeping the crud out wouldn't hurt.
