From simple applications to multi-load/multi-temperature systems, you can now learn how to use the newest and most sophisticated hydronic heating materials and methods without compromising between comfort and energy. Heavily illustrated with product shots from top manufacturers, plus more than 300 diagrams of system piping/control schematics, this one-of-a-kind introduction to today's hydronic heating systems concentrates engineering-level design information into tools that can be used by technical students and professional contractors alike. Thoroughly updated, Modern Hydronic Heating, 2nd Edition now features the latest information on state-of-the-art techniques for use in residential and light commercial buildings, such as: radiant panel heating, injection mixing, primary and secondary piping, use of buffer tanks to improve system stability, and advanced control methods. Ideal for anyone involved in the heating trades, from basic installers to design engineers, this preeminent resource of the North American hydronic heating industry is as well suited for use in a formal education course or for self-study as it is on the job.
Product Benefits:
Detailed and generic piping and electrical
schematics offer access to the layout of nearly any piping and control
system used in modern hydronic heating, assisting readers in design and
installation
Use of analytical design tools teaches readers how
to assess the thermal and hydraulic performance of proposed systems before
they are installed, avoiding potentially costly problems
Examples are based on practical, real-world design
situations and include references to previously presented formulas and
data, allowing readers to "see" how they are used in the trade
A complete list of all variables is presented
whenever a formula is introduced, eliminating the need to flip
back-and-forth between appendices to "figure out" parameters or
units of expression
Complete coverage includes the very latest in
hardware as well as design concepts and design procedures, making it one
of the heating profession's leading references
Standard English measurement units are used
exclusively, guaranteeing consistency with today's hydronics industry
practices while eliminating confusion caused by cursory discussion of
Metric units
A Windows-based CD-ROM enables readers to use
powerful engineering algorithms to simulate hydronic heating system
performance and evaluate "what if" design situations, regardless
of their math backgrounds
