In this episode, we talk with Moe about the world of hydronics. We discuss some fundamentals and talk about various boiler and radiator types.

Hydronic systems use water flow to move heat. We can compare these systems to railroads; the water is like a train carrying BTUs, and the BTUs get off the "train" at radiators. The pump moves water in a circle, though it moves that water pretty far. Boilers generally require a certain flow, and if a single circulator pump can't achieve that flow, we sometimes need to bring on a secondary circulator.

Radiators can either be radiant or convective…
