Steam-and hot-water heating joined hands a long time ago to make up what we today call “hydronics.” Both systems run on water, and they’ve been around for hundreds of years. The Institute of Boiler and Radiation Manufacturers coined the term hydronics in 1946 to make the science of heating a building with water sound sexy — like “electronics.”
HydroSketch is a cloud-based software for drawing piping and electrical schematic diagrams to document hydronic heating and cooling systems. It was designed for users who need to make a simple drawing, without the lengthy learning curve associated with most CAD software.
The Caleffi 520 Series AngleMix thermostatic mixing valve offers angled geometry, reducing costs as the domestic hot water tank outlet is piped in-line with the valve’s mixed water outlet, requiring fewer fittings and less space.
Taco Comfort Solutions’ offers the 4900 Series magnetic dirt separator to provide dual-action dirt separation for closed loop hydronic heating systems.
Whether designing a residential or commercial system, there are several lessons to be learned from Siegenthaler, a.k.a. “Siggy,” including thermal considerations, piping, heat pump technologies, panel radiators, slab heating, controls and ECM circulators in order to provide the ultimate goals: Comfort, high efficiency and a happy customer.
The company now offers three different types of online training; Taco Tuesdays, Taco After Dark, and personalized webinars. Over the past six weeks, more than 6,000 attendees have attended the training sessions.
