During the summer months the hot water would be heated completely with electricity so the oil furnace can be shut off thus saving the cost of oil being used just to heat the hot water. This allows the electric water heater to be fed with hot water from the furnace during the winter months (while the furnace is being used anyways) to help heat the hot water to save electricity. Then they would turn off the furnace during the non heating season, and during the heating season they would turn on the boiler. I have read multiple threads of people that have installed an electric water heater by hooking up the hot water return from the oil furnace to the inlet of the electric water heater. I am looking to install an electric hot water heater in series with my oil furnace. I would like to have all the mixing tank/tanks mounted to a plate that can be attached to the dredge deck.I have an oil furnace that has a tank-less hot water that supplies my hot water. The outflow will be sent through a tempering valve to prevent scalding water from going to the diver. The amount of cold water mixed with the hot can be regulated to insure proper temperature. Behind the connection will be a valve that will control the flow into the mixing container.Īt the bottom of the mixing container will be a 3/4" male connector that will be attached to the other leg of the "Y" off the pump. The hot water hose will connect to the mixing container at the top. Copper tubing will have a 3/4" male to connect to the end of the hot water hose from the "Y".Ĭopper tubing will slip over the muffler and held in place with hose clamps to minimize rattling and preserve my sanity.Ī 3/4" male fitting will be on the discharge end of the copper tubing, it will connect to a hot water hose. I plan on using washer hot water hose from the "Y" to the copper tubing. Off the inline filter will be a "Y" brass valve, with flow control on both legs. Off the pump will be an inline filter to remove sediment with a reusable filter that can be easily removed and cleaned. I can see it clearly in my minds eye, getting it on paper is another thing entirely!! Ok, yes they took my crayons away!! No I am not a two year old.
