I need to decide on a control system for the hydronic heating and would love to hear you suggestions. A few detail of the project:
• Navien CH-180ASME boiler
• Uponor 3/8" PEX tubing installed 8â€OC with joist track panels
• Zone 1 & 2
o Total 8 loops (1,600 feet of tubing)
o 2 manifolds will supply zone 1 (3 bedrooms) and zone 2 (living/dining/kitchen)
o Total radiant load 14,000 BTU/Hr
o Radiant tubing volume 8 gallons
o Total flowrate: 3 USGPM
• Zone 3
o basement (basement will be remodeled within the next 2 years) will have radiant panels installed
o 6,000 BTU/hr
Planning on using these controls:
• Outdoor sensor
• T-75 Wireless Thermostats for Wireless Zoning System along with the C-55 (base unit), and an I-75 interface from Uponor
• Floor sensors, should I install them as well?
In terms of manifolds, what would be better: Uponor TruFLOW Jr.Manifolds or the engineered plastic Uponor EP Radiant Heat Manifolds? I am definitely getting one with flow meters and balancing valves. How about using actuators? Would you use one manifold with actuators to control all rooms separately. Please advice.
