Hi,
hoping someone can help on this.
I'm currently renovating a small cottage, and putting in a new heating / hot water system with 3 radiators and an 80m loop of UFH, a shower, bath, sink, handbasin, dishwasher and washing machine, using a 25kW Worcester Bosch greenstar Si combi boiler. All fairly standard, though the UFH seems to complicate things more than I'd expected.
THe UFH has a thermostatic mixing valve with flow and return from the main heating system, and it's own pump, so there will be two pumps in the system - the boiler pump and the UFH pump. I was planning to to do most pipework myself to keep costs down, and the plumber doing the boiler install advises a low loss header to seperate the two pumps. I only sort of understand low loss headers, and certainly not to the extent of sizing one.
Any comments on the design, or links to more information on low loss header design would be much appeciated.
Cheers
Danny
