"Hydraulic separation is an effective way to prevent conflicts between circulators... but if you're doing 'crisscross applesauce' piping, you're doing it wrong."
Our very own Cody Mack shares his hydronics wisdom with PHCPPros to break down the essential physics of hydraulic separation in modern, high-efficiency systems. As boilers get smaller and passageways get tighter, your separation strategy has to get smarter.
In this featured article, Cody dives into:
- The Sizing Myth: Why you should size by flow rate, not pipe diameter.
- Air & Dirt Removal: How proper piping unlocks the "extra" benefits of your separator.
- The Expansion Tank Trap: Why the location of your fill valve and tank matters more than you think.
