    Alliance indirect performance with smaller boilers?

    Just a follow up, I Installed the alliance 50 gallon, wired up as a priority direct to the Alpine 80. When it calls for heat, it disregards the ODR and fires up to 185* (or tries to, I havent seen it get above 175 even after a few minutes at full burn) with priority so the heat loop circulators...

    Alliance indirect performance with smaller boilers?

    Yea, I can only think they did it to increase velocity through the coil at the expense of volume??

    Alliance indirect performance with smaller boilers?

    Fortunately my boiler is piped with all 1" pipe. I hear what you are saying with the house going cold, I will probably set the priority for a 30 minute run. My house is tight enough that even on the coldest day a 30 minute run without heat won't drop the temps in the house more than a couple...

    Alliance indirect performance with smaller boilers?

    The problem comes with getting a long enough vertical drop without T's and other lines coming in. I dont have even 36" without having to cut and reroute all the drain lines.... I think with the 50 gallon and it wired as a priority on the boiler I should be in good shape. My main thought was...

    Alliance indirect performance with smaller boilers?

    How big is your boiler that keeps the endless hot water flowing, and what temp do you keep the IWH tank set to? For the showers I am not too concerned with going with the smaller 35 gal unit, but filling the big tub would deplete that and then some unless I had a mixing valve and the tank at 150...

    Alliance indirect performance with smaller boilers?

    Replacing a stand alone WH, want to go with an Indirect. The alliance SL indirect water heaters list their required inputs as 99K BTU's for the 35 gallon model, and 110K for the 50 gal model. Does anyone know how much the performance would be decreased when using an Alpine 80? For full burn...
