Episode 5 | Overview of the Sidearm and system functions of the Wood Furnace from central boiler

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

This is the final video in a series to show the process of replacing my leaking Richmond Water Heater with a larger, commercial unit with side outlets for my Central Boiler wood burning furnace. After finding these videos again 1 year after the replacement was completed, I realized this final video was never completed. The final steps of hooking up the system was a challenge as I learned that my old and real lead solder was not working for me and I had to cut and redo my fittings many times. The process was long and I learned from many mistakes. I did not have any video of that process.
This was filmed in November of 2020 as a conclusion to the video series.

    Your hot water from the boiler should come into the sidearm from the top and run down, counter flow, to the cold coming from the bottom of the tanked heater. This is because heat exchange is more efficient at higher temp differentials, and if the rising dhw is already gaining temp, as it enters the side arm, efficiency would drop as it contacts the now nearly same water at the top of the boilers sidearm.

    Thank you for this. A friend of mine has a similar system (and is having problems with it) - he showed it to me this weekend and I couldn't figure out what was up with the sidearm or how it was supposed to work.

    your hot water supply from the boiler should enter the top of the sidearm exchanger

    Not according to instructions, it uses latent heat to rise through the colder water. I've got a plummed exactly the way the instructions told

    @@AZLetendrehmm, interesting they'd recommend flow counter to the thermosiphon...not a huge deal with a circulation pump I guess.
