I'm swapping in a new primary loop calculator and that led me to thinking about my boiler short cycling a little much, so here I am looking at what outdoor reset to go with! Thanks!
I know I am late to see seeing this, but thanks! This was a great video and explanation. I have a question regarding zones. I have 3 zones and a thermostat and pump for each. How could I implement this? Would I need three resets, one for each? Or just one for the main living area? Or is it not really meant for my application? Thanks again for the great presentation.
This sounds exact what I need. I have an old house with hot water baseboards and I only feel comfortable while the water is circulating. As soon as the circulation stops, the house cools off and becomes uncomfortable. I want to extend the circulation time and stop my boiler from short cycling and increase my comfort.
One of the benefits missed is fewer cracked boilers, especially commercial, lower operating temps and less major expansion/contraction make a huge difference in boiler life. I also think that now with higher fuel prices here to stay that ODR is also beneficial to small mass boilers and even a System 2000, I think now they say ODR can be a 10-30% increase in efficiency and that would easily pay for the ODR control in one year or less. Even with a small mass min temp of 160-170 and max of 200-210 there would be huge savings.
Just had a Bradford White combi boiler installed in my home. The plumber said I didn't need the outdoor reset even though it came with the unit. Any thoughts? Thanks ahead.

Glad we could help!

Exactly right!

Outdoor reset isn't required, but it increases boiler efficiency and if it can be installed it should.
Does outdoor reset require the circulator to run constantly?
It will run as long as the system is running
