The constant variation in loads means water temperatures along the primary circuit could vary over a significant range. How do you properly size a heat emitter if you don’t know what the supply water temperature might be, depending on what other loads are active?

From cellphones to pipe wrenches, software to hand-held diagnostic devices, and everything in between – our tools are our “force multipliers.” They enable us to do things that no man, woman, or team of pros could do just a generation ago.
