A modcon putting out 180f water into a very hot tank will mean pretty low efficiency (low by modcon standards, around 80%).
Read MoreIn a series circuit, the simplest hydronic piping system, the radiators and boiler are on one common loop. Radiators near the end of the loop are often larger to compensate for the lower water temperature. In the simplest hydronic distribution system, all heat emitters are connected into a common loop, or "circuit," with the heat source.
