We just had a brand new 3-ton geothermal furnace assembly installed in our home with a de-superheater add-on. Everything seemed to be working normally until I installed a hot water recirculation pump with sensor valve located at the furthest point in the house, because we were sick of water 60 seconds to get hot water upstairs. Ever since I installed the hot water recirculation system I've noticed the de-superheater OUT line is no longer getting hot, the de-superheater IN line is. It's all ass backwards now. According to the manufacturers plumbing diagram everything is hooked up properly but they only have a check valve on their diagram for the cold main city water IN at the top of the pre-heat tank, not on the bottom of the preheat tank. Every other plumbing diagram for a de-superheater system shows a check valve on both sides of the de-superheater circuit. I turned the circulation pump off now for the time being until I can figure out what's going on.
I found a stock image of other systems and labelled it to match exactly how ours is setup, see below.
My question: Will adding a check valve on the de-superheater line IN allow the system to operate as it should again? Or is the sensor valve causing the issue, without an actual dedicated return water line installed back down to the main electrically heated tank?
I don't particularly trust our furnace company plumber because I had to have him come back twice to fix sloppy plumbing/routing that he messed up and as I added this onto the system myself so they would likely be charging me @ $110/h to fix the problem. I didn't have any luck in r/plumbing. Anyone have any advice for me??
I was running bottom tree gunslinger and was taking a closer look at the animation of the weighted knife.
While stylish and cool, i found it a bit impractical that hunters have a weighty knife that deals huge damage but they decide to twirl it in their hands first before throwing it.
Until I noticed that maybe the reason it got such a big increase in damage is that the hunter, lore-wise, now super-heats the knife in their hands before throwing it on top of it being a heavier knife.
So the twirl before hand also helps to give the weighted knife extra damage by way of superheated metal.
Hello guys,
I would like recommendations on Boiler Superheater and Economizer Design Software.
FireCAD is rejected by Engineering Department Manager, he said "its too simple"
Please advise
I'm studying for my 3/AE license and stumbled upon this fact, but I'm stumped as to why.
