in THE MAIN WALL

I have come across a new installation. This is a 4 pipe , Lochinvar M/N# RBT 80.

I have checked the Buffer tank Installation instructions , to find LH connections

call for Bldg. loop IN/OUT at Bottom & Top respectfully. The RH OUT/IN call for

OUT/IN at Top & Bottom respectfully.

This new install appears to have RH & LH sides switched. Is this just an open vessel

& although , it is piped incorrectly , will give off heat to the hydronic loop?

There is no Indirect DHW tank in this application.

    yes it is just an open tank

    Top is boiler in and system out in the other top

    Bottom are boiler return, system return

    Boiler can go into either side, there is no right or left requirement
