Modern
Hydronic Heating for Residential and Light Commercial Buildings, 2E
| by John Siegenthaler |
Second
Edition
|
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.
John Siegenthaler, P.E., a
mechanical engineering graduate of Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute,
is an Associate Professor of engineering technology at Mohawk Valley
Community College, and a licensed professional engineer.
He has over 25 of experience in
designing modern hydronic heating systems and is also a member of
the Radiant Panel Association. John is a presenter at national and
international conferences on hydronic and radiant heating.
Features:
- 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
