Hi all,
I have a hydronic wood furnace that was recently installed soley as a forced hot water heat source. The system was suppose to be installed such that in the event of a power failure the heat on the primary loop would be sent to a dump zone. Well we had a power failure and the heat was not dumped anywhere..hence the TP valve blew many times. As it turns out the dump zone was tied in as just another zone valve but activated by a seperate aquastat. On the house loop, the plumber tells me, the circ pump was cooked because air had gotten in somehow. How can this happen?
