Can I connect the Shaver to a pressurized heating system or boiler?
Yes, by the use of a water-to-water heat exchanger the heat can be transferred from one system to the other. In fact, a boiler is the easiest system to hook up to. A water-to-water heat exchanger is all that is needed to tie the two systems together. It keeps the systems separate and allows your boiler to work exactly as it does now – the way it was designed to. If it’s pressurized, it will stay that way and any other systems like auto-fill and anti-flowback will work as they do now. See the diagram and picture. The heat exchanger is simply plumbed in right before your boiler, in the return line. The return water from your system is reheated, tricking your boiler into thinking there is no heat loss and therefore no reason to come back on. That way you don’t need any switches relays are or other devices to control it. Connecting it directly to the existing system and depressurizing it is a big no-no and will cause you problems with air pockets, etc.
