Last season was a flurry of events feeding the beast, fixin' issues, learning about the Danfoss, on and on. This season I have digital sensors at the boiler exit and return in the barn and a digital sensor on the supply into and out of the HX. I'm about to install a digital thermocouple just above the chimney tee coming out of the back of the boiler. So... now that I have the tools to see how everything is running what are "good" target temps for EVERYTHING. I've read discussions about return water temps, exhaust stack, boiler exits and large/small deltaTs across the HX. So for me and others here in one place what should I see for a good working system.
Exhaust Gas Temp just as it turns to go vertical in the chimney = ?
Exit water temp at the boiler (last year I set at 185F because underground sucked) = ?
HX deltaT (HXinlet - HXoutlet) = ?
Fingers crossed for good Boiler barn to house and return deltaTs. Will report on performance of my foam sticky job with deltaT loss/ft. Not looking forward to cold weather... but sorta itching to see how my system improvements and my experience helps the system here in my second season.
Great time of year.... football... deer season... Thanksgiving/Xmas... shed full of wood, and boiler runnin'! Cheers from the South East Conference!
