Dhw boiler schematic

Title. The holes are giant! I’m sure that it gets tighter near the bottom but with today’s advancements an ROV should be able to sneak in, and there is no way that the boiler doors are still shut to this day. of course they could be blocked by debris, but even then that is still new things discovered, plus viewing The schematics the pipe breaks off into four ways so I think it would be unlikely for all four pipes to be blocked

Hi all, I’m working with a client as an energy advisor for their 5 unit building in NYC. The brownstone is very old with a steam boiler in their cellar. The cellar room also has (2) 80-gallon gas water heaters. I’m thinking of recommending (2) 80-gallon dhw heat pumps to replace. The electrical service is close and makes sense because of the short run. There’s ample heat off the boiler in the winter. Since the units use ambient air, will the system create considerable cold air in the room? Should I be concerned about this in the winter if the boiler isn’t running at the time the heat pumps are? There’s a fresh air duct for the boiler that we can possibly upsize if we need to introduce true ambient air. Also, any recommendations on dhw heat pump models? TIA!

Glowworm System Pro - Fault Finding Challenge!
Long time listener first time caller here!
I’m a newly qualified electrician trying to help my mother-in-law, she has a Gloworm System Pro ‘programmer’ with two thermostats, and an external temp sensor.
It’s a boiler only system, with 2 heating valves and a DHW 2 port valve too..
A few months back it stopped controlling the 2 central heating valves, I think it is still ok on the DHW via the stat.
On the assumption that cables wouldn’t have jumped out of the terminals in the wiring centre, I started fault finding on the Systempro ‘programmer’, testing the outgoing ways for 230v - but when calling for heat on the room stats, no change came about on the terminals.. I thought I had cracked it! There must be some relays kaput inside, as the screen recognised the ‘call’ for heat, but there was no change on the terminals.
I swapped out the unit for a new one this evening and I still didn’t get anything on those terminals when calling for heat… I was testing between the outgoing switch line and earth.
Can anyone suggest a next good step?

Recently had the tubing for hydronic heating in the basement installed. Have a 2yo tankless boiler for DHW but it's not a combi unit. Someone mentioned a setup using a buffer tank that would a) provide heat source for the hydronic w/o replacing it with a combi, and b) provide a buffer for my DHW. Sounded like a great win-win, but I can't find anything on that setup. I assume the tank would also be a heat exchanger for the hydronic circuit? Does this sound familiar to anyone here?

I stupidly let the oil empty in the tank and now I need to restart the boiler. I’ve watched a dozen videos on YouTube and it looks handy enough once I can orientate myself with my own boiler. Unfortunately I can’t find a schematic/labeled picture of the outside of it, specifically which bolt I need to turn to drain it, I think because it’s so old. Can anyone help me out please?

Greetings plumbing & heating guys. HVAC tech here trying to do some hydronics and need help ensuring I've engineered this properly.
JOB: Basement & 1st Floor, 900 s.f. ea for total 1,800 s.f. to be heated (Chicago)
SYSTEM: Hydronic Baseboard Heaters 135 FEET.
BOILER: 105,000 BTU, Low Loss Header w/ Integral Pump. (May be tapped into later with a circulator for indirect DHW)
ONE ZONE - BASEBOARD FOOTAGE WILL BE SPLIT UP TO GIVE ADEQUATE HEAT ALL WINTER LONG!
​
Questions: How does the sizing look? Too oversized? What expansion tank would I need for this?
Any questions I didn't think of, please tell me!

I have read through "Modern Hydronic Heating: For Residential and Light Commercial Buildings" and have done my boiler install with 2 fan coils and radiant floor and plans for a spa exchanger. I would like to put in a ground source heat pump and ground loop. I will be filling in a swamp and want to bury the tubing as i put in fill so I would like a book that covers how to create a ground loop and how to actually tie the heat pump into my system. I want to do space heating, snow melt, DHW, and the hot tub in winter. I want to do space cooling, DHW, and the hot tub in summer also. So I would imagine I will need some complex valving, heat exchangers, and buffer tanks. What is a good book or series of books on this?

I am new to shelly, have a Smappee monitor which broke down a week ago after 7 years of good service.
So i am in doubt about getting the new smappee system or diy with shelly products. Dont have big reqs, just want to monitor what my solars are producing and what i am consuming.
I have 3x400V+N, guess 2 shelly 3em are fit for measuring? I looked at the schematics, dont need the contactor, only measure. Just dont get the purpose of the Va,b,c connections? Do i just connect them to each phase? Incoming or do they get what comes from my solars? Do i need other stuff in my fusebox to secure the shelly devices?
After that i want to automate my electric boiler and some heating elements to heat when i have overproduction on the solars.

Glow-Worm boilers have their own set of error codes or fault codes to help diagnose and troubleshoot issues. Here are some common error codes you may encounter with Glow-Worm boilers:

Couple months ago we replaced a boiler. Boss man prefers circs over zone valves so we put taco 007es on the 5 zones on the returns. (4 heat 1 DHW).
We noticed that night that zone 2 was heating when it shouldn’t. We replaced the internal flow check and it went away. They called a few weeks later. Over heating. I go out and confirm it’s pulling water through zone 2 when another zone calls for heat. I replace the circ and it’s fine. I’m also checking this with temperature probs on the supply and return BTW.
A month goes by. She calls again. Zone 2 over heating. Mind you I went though every other scenario to ensure nothing else was bad like a tstat and I can confirm that if I make some 1 call for heat zone 2 gets heat as well. No matter what zone I make call. Zone 2 gets heat. The circ isn’t running.
We get taco on the phone. First rep was an idiot actually. Tells me to down fire the nozzle (this is an oil fired boiler). Tells me more BTUs means more water flow and we have too much water flow. I counter with “lowering the nozzle doesn’t lower the BTUs. It still heats the water to 180°. It just takes longer.” I do it anyway. Didn’t work.
We get another taco guy. This guy sounds like he actually knows what he’s talking about. He even comes out. Determines that because it’s the shortest loop and it’s done in pex that there isn’t enough resistance in the loop to stop the flow check from opening. So we install a second flo check. Had to do it on the return. No space on the supply. Works. No issues. Again, testing with temperature clamps and I ran all other zones at the same time.
She calls again yesterday….. same problem. I go out. Get my clamps on. Call all zones except that one. No heat going through. Drop 1 zone. No heat. Drop another zone. Something weird is happening. The hot water is flowing backwards through zone 2. Through 2 check valves. Return temp got up to 135° while supply stayed 85°.
What the fuck? Sadly it’s not something stupid like a backwards check valve or circ. Currently the valve is just off as they don’t need heat in that area. Bossman is losing his shit lmao. I mess with him and tease him cause he’s the type that does it one way and one way only. Had we kept the zone valves we wouldn’t have this issue as there was never an issue before.

So i have a munchkin boiler and i cannot seem to get the system to prioritize the water heater when the system energizes and all pumps go and zones open regardless.
What I’m looking for is something I’m not seeing in my systems programmable settings or something out of the box i suppose. External relay is only thing i can come up with and don’t know how I’d need to make it work
