I can't believe he tried to sign up again.

Some people never learn.

Using the formulas that Irascible provided in his link, here are the FTHD and gpm for my zones:

Zone1: 10.8 FTHD, 8.1 gpm
Zone2: 9.0, 9.7
Zone3: 6.6, 13.2
Zone4: 7.2, 12.1
Zone5: 6.0, 14.2

(As a reminder: TACO 007-F5, 1/25hp, 3250rpm, pushing into the boiler.)

Looking at the TACO datasheet, the 007 isn’t rated for FTHD>11.0. So, if we’re supposed to design for the loop with the largest FTHD, it looks like the 007 just barely makes it. (Am I doing this right?)

So, if any 2 or more zones call for heat, then it just gets worse, right? Could this be why my burners have 4 minute cycle times?

Is this still the boiler banging noise problem ?

[mark115]

fat eddy: Yes ...and no.
The manufacturer has decided that the BANGing is a problem with the boiler and has agreed to replace it. At that point, I asked the installer to double-check if 187MBTUH input is the right size for my 2400 sqft home. He's agreed to install whatever size I think is appropriate. (?!) The mfr will ship whatever we decide on. (Why not? It will most likely be smaller.)

Since several people like yourself suggested that we install 1 circ/zone, I wanted to learn a little bit more about flow rates. (I didn't really get an answer from installer when I asked.) I think what I'm finding-out is that the installer really didn't put much thought into feet of head and/or the circulator.

Naturally, I'm getting a little frustrated. I liked and trusted everyone I worked with at this contractor. Other installers that tried to diagnose the BANG commented on the "good workmanship." But, since I now think the first boiler was mis-sized, and since I'm now finding possible shortcomings in the distribution system, the installer is losing patience with all my questions.

I'm just trying to get it right, this time.
