Hi all,
I have a radiant floor system that is set up as an open/closed system. On the closed side, a wood gasification boiler runs for about a 6-8 hour burn producing about 100-120k BTU/hr and dumps the heat into a 1000 gal water tank. The open side then circulates the heated water on the radiant floor side according to heat calls. I want to add a gas backup to this system on the closed side and am looking at something like a Slant Victory VSPH 180. Since I don't regulate the boiler according to heat loads, I just need a direct vent boiler that will be able to come on and dump all its heat load into the holding tank for some extended burn time. I can set the backup to come on based on the tank temp and will probably run it for at least a 10 degree increase. Any comments on whether this is a good candidate for such a system?
Thanks,
Todd
