7 - MIXING IN HYDRONIC SYSTEMS

Early North American hydronic heating systems had limited control of the water-temperature supplied to their heat emitters. The temperature of water arriving at the heat emitters was close to that leaving the heat source. As combustion conditions changed within the boiler, so did the water-temperature it supplied to the distribution system. 

This issue of idronics™ discusses how mixing is a critical element in modern hydronic systems. When properly executed, it improves comfort and reduces energy consumption.
