The unit on the right is the water heater - from the picture I cannot see that it is tied into the boiler (indirect hot water heater) It does have a circulating pump but the way that one is hooked up looks like a re-circulator (luxury Item - The water in the pipes is always hot as soon as you turn on the faucet you get hot water) It could have this as an indirect hot water heater or a stand alone water heater. From the pic I can’t see the pipes tied into the boiler. Is that a gas pipe on the lower right corner?
