I mentioned in a previous post that I am still weighing my options for a heat source for the hydronic heat.
My friend came up with a plan.
He and I have the same problem - we have
space that is unheated - and we have the same
asset available - a steam boiler.
(And we both have ground source in
our long-term plans, but not this winter )
We are researching using
water spray heat recovery to
grab the heat that we currently expel
up the flue whenever the boiler runs.
If we can grab it all, the remaining vent
can be plastic instead of steel!
I'll post when I know more.
So far, it sounds really good.
