I have a 250 gallon OWB sitting in an insulated shack 180' from my house. The lines run into the house for heating radiant and forced air etc....
I am interested in designing a propane backup. Initially, I thought of having the propane boiler in the house and have it switch on with a thermostat on the incoming water temp from the boiler outside. The disadvantage is that I have to run gas into the house, and a flue out and have an ugly propane tank near my house. Right now I am gas free (in the house) which means peace of mind for me. Carbon Monoxide....etc.
Now, I am thinking of having the propane boiler outside in the shack with the OWB. The issue is that the boilers I have done in the past are Closed Systems (pressurized). The OWB is Open.
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this outdoors with propane? I am open to new ideas and thoughts....
Thanks
