in THE MAIN WALL
I actually didn't do the math,(my calculator wasn't handy and god forbid I do it by hand) but I thought it would turn out that way.
Hmm.

    I have been absorbing Dan's book "P/S pumping made easy" and I came upon a part that is causing me mental distress. At the end of the section on 2 pipe systems he changes the order of the heat loads and re-calculates the temperature drop, noting that it made little difference in this case but sometimes it would.
    I can't see how it would? as I see it you are pumping x amount at y temp into the system of loads, they are extracting a certain number of BTUs and that will drive your exiting water temp and it shouldn't matter in what order you run the loads.
    Well I thought I would throw it up on the wall and see what sticks...

    Hi Jay,

    I saw that too but when I worked out both ways without rounding off, they came out the same.
