I am a homeowner that only knows enough to get in trouble.
I have been running this boiler for 20 years and I am ready to move it outside.
I am worried about fires. It dampers down and creates a lot of cresol.
My plan is to put it in an insulated shed and run plumbing inside.
Couple of questions.
-Do I run it under pressure like it currently is or can I convert it to a vented system? it would be nice to not worry about it making steam if it gets too hot. If I run it under pressure, I have to get the expensive insulated Pex that won't let oxygen get to the water, correct?
-Do I use a plate heat exchanger or just run it like it is now? I ask because I don't know if I need to use a glycol mix.
-If you have any ideas for me, can you include a diagram of how this should be plumbed?
Thanks!!!!
