  • @anthonyspadafora1384
    @anthonyspadafora1384 2 года назад +3

    Very well done. Just want to point out a few things that will make our lives go easier. Install a ball valve after the auto feed so you can isolate the feed valve from both incoming water pressure and boiler side pressure. The quality of these feed valves is not what they were 30 years ago and they must be replaced more often. Maybe a little more explanation on why the mixing valve is just a high temperature stop when used on a system with outdoor reset and mixed temperature supplies. My last pet peeve is what is a very common mistake. Always install a drain valve between the expansion tank isolation valve and the tank. These bladder tanks must have their air pressure checked every season. The only way to do this is to isolate the tank and remove the water pressure from inside the tank. Your other options would be to take a bath or introduce a lot of air into the system. Great video Thanks

    Your a great instructor, I love the clarity and energy in the video. What a great job in installing that system also. We have done some nice ones but this is probably better / cleaner. Symmetrical always makes the systems look great. It's odd with the natural gas being run in what looks like galvanized pipe. In our area thats a general no-no.

    • @acservicetechchannel
      @acservicetechchannel  4 месяца назад

      Supply houses here by the ocean only sell galvanuzed, local inspectors only approve galv outside here and in the ifgc 2021 code book, there is no distiguishment between using schedule 40 galvanized and schedule 40 black iron, so its technically fine by that code book, thanks!

  • @christopherborner1139
    @christopherborner1139 2 года назад +3

    Great thorough video! Thanks Craig. Couple questions. The drain goes into the sump crock and that condensate water is very acidic and will eat up the pump. Many municipalities do not allow you to drain into the sump. Is that legal where you are? Also the LWCO looks low. If the water level in the boiler got that low, it can ruin the heat exchanger. Is that in the right spot? Thanks again

    • @waymonblevins6939
      @waymonblevins6939 2 года назад +2

      Christopher, I have worked on Boilers for Thirty Years. One thing that improves and protects boilers tubes and pump is to use DE mineralized water and do a closed Loop System. By doing this You have All the Minerals from the Water removed and You recover the water to a Holding Tank so you never add water to the System. As long as you don't have a leak you never add Water but if You have a leak then add De mineralized Water back to the system. On the Hot Water Tank used a Hot Water Tank that uses a coil in the tank to heat the Water. If You have to drain the system for any reason You can pump the Demineralized Water into a Holding Tank. You are only use about 250 Gallons of Water at the Maximum in all the Lines, Evaporators and the Coils. By doing this You add 5 to 7 years to a Units life. One other thing Never use any Carbon Steel Fittings or Pipes in the Heating System. Carbon Will transfer to Stainless Steel. By doing this You will Add Years of Life to Your System. Carbon and Mineral Water is a Cancer to the System. Any Old Boilermakers and Service Tech's with knowledge will tell You the Same thing. One other thing do a Boiler Chemistry Test by doing this it will Tell You the state of your Water Chemicals in your system. You need to Stop any Corrosion in Your System. by doing this You add life to Your System. Most People that installs these Systems don't care because it's not their system.

  • @chuckrambo2270
    @chuckrambo2270 2 года назад +1

    Some comments regarding this install: This is a modulating boiler. That’s why there is a range of input/output of 72,000 to 330,000 Btuh. The way that it is setup/installed, though, makes no use of the modulating feature. This means that it never runs lower than its full rated input/output and because of this it will never reach its maximum efficiency. It is also capable of outdoor air temperature reset but this feature is not being used. With outdoor reset the output temperature for space heating will vary depending on how cold it is outside. Instead, it is set to a fixed output temperature for space heating and this is probably why the installer put in all of those mixing valves…to knock the temperature down to a more reasonable level. Outdoor reset takes care of that automatically and that makes better use of the modulating capability of the boiler.
    This boiler has an aluminum heat exchanger which requires a special formulation of antifreeze (aluminum safe inhibited propylene glycol)…always a good thing to mention.
    One more thing that sticks out to me is the lack of dielectric unions where the copper pipe connects to the low-loss header and to the water heater.
    Good basic overview of one type (zone pump) of hydronic heating system. I am sure that there will be additional videos that go much more in depth.
