Modern
Hydronic Heating
for Residential and Light Commercial Buildings, 3E
| by John Siegenthaler |
Third
Edition
|
From simple applications to
multi-load / multi-temperature systems, learn how to use the newest
and most appropriate hydronic heating methods and hardware to create
system the deliver the ultimate in heating comfort, reliability, and
energy efficiency.
Heavily illustrated with product
and installation photos, and hundreds of detailed full-color
schematics, MODERN HYDRONIC HEATING, 3rd EDITION is a
one-of-a-kind comprehensive reference on hydronic heating for the
present and future. It transforms engineering-level design
information into practical tools that can be used by technical
students and heating professional alike.
This revised edition features the
latest design and installation techniques for residential and light
commercial hydronic systems including use of renewable energy heat
sources, hydraulic separation, smart circulators, distribution
efficiency, thermal accumulators, mixing methods, heat metering, and
web-enabled control methods.
Everyone involved in the heating
trade will benefit from this preeminent resource of the North
American heating industry. It is well-suited for use in a formal
education course, self-study, or as an on the job reference.
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:
- Expanded coverage of renewable energy
heat sources for hydronic systems including solar thermal
collectors, geothermal water-to-water heat pumps, and wood- and
pellet-fired boilers. The latest boiler technology is also
discussed to enhance the content of previous editions.
- All-new material on "smart circulators,"
hydraulic separation, and distribution efficiency that addresses
the latest industry trends.
- Text is now 4 color with fully updated
photographs and line art to better illustrate concepts used to
design and install hydronic systems.
- More "green" renewable energy content
inlcued in 'Green Wave' coverage; the ability of hydronics to
deliver heat at a fraction of distribution energy and
distribution efficiency. Also see information on solar energy.
- Encourages a strong understanding of
design and installation with detailed piping and electrical
schematics that illustrate nearly every piping and control
technique used in modern hydronic heating.
- Presents analytical design tools that
teach readers how to assess the thermal and hydraulic
performance of proposed systems before they are installed,
avoiding potentially costly problems.
- Facilitates the practical application of
key concepts with real-world examples based on actual design
situations and including references to the book's formulas and
data, allowing readers to visualize how they are used in the
trade.
- Presents a complete list of variables and
their required unit whenever a formula is introduced. Gives
examples with solutions and follow-up discussion on a wide range
of calculations associated with good hydronic system design.
- Sets readers up for success in today's
heating industry with complete coverage of the latest hardware,
design concepts, and installation techniques, making this text
one of the heating industry's leading references.
- More "green" renewable energy content
inlcued in 'Green Wave' coverage; the ability of hydronics to
deliver heat at a fraction of distribution energy and
distribution efficiency. Also see information on solar energy.
- Describes the details used in designing
and commissioning hydronic systems, including warnings of thing
not to do.
- Provides a website at which a free
version of the Hydronics Design Studio companion software can be
downloaded and used as a routine design tool
- Emphasizes how to create simple and
reliable systems without sacrificing energy efficiency or
comfort.
- Modern hydronics technology is the "glue"
that holds most thermally-based renewable energy systems
together. Accordingly, this edition provides expanded and
detailed coverage of how renewable energy heat sources are used
within the context of hydronic heating.
- Emphasizes underlying physical concepts
of thermal equilibrium and hydraulic equilibrium that govern the
behavior of all hydronic systems. These concepts greatly assist
in both design and troubleshooting.
- Standard imperial units are used
exclusively, guaranteeing consistency with today's North
American hydronics industry.
- Additional examples that demonstrate why
modern hydronics is the enabling technology necessary to
optimize the performance of both conventional and renewable
energy systems.
