This pertains to my nat gas boiler system, but I don't think it really matters how the heat is being made.
I installed a Modine hanging heater in my garage a few weeks ago. I have slab heat, but I was not satisfied with the response time of the slab. It maintains the air temp just fine, but open the door and pull in a cold vehicle (lets say -10* outside) it would take hours to get the garage back up to temp.
My system has a primary/secondary loop, the floor heat runs off the secondary loop. I T'eed into the primary loop to run this heater, that way I should get 160*+ water to it. The problem I'm having is the heater is blowing just lukewarm air. With the boiler at 170* I am seeing only about 120* supply and 95* return off the heater. I am confused on what is going on.
Before I did the plumbing work on it, I had an HVAC come by and let me know the best approach to it (he was doing other work for me at the time). I piped it just like he suggested.
I'll get some photos later this morning when I get home, but maybe someone would have ideas?
