Bell & Gossett announced its training course schedule for first-quarter 2014 at the Little Red Schoolhouse, including topics such as water-based HVAC systems and modern hydronic heating systems.

All closed-loop hydronic systems require an air space to absorb the increased volume of water as it warms during system operation. In most hydronic systems, this task is handled by an expansion tank. In most modern hydronic systems, it’s handled by a diaphragm-type expansion tank.

Webstone’s Hydro-Core Hydronic Manifold System and Isolator Uni-Flange Ball Valves have been featured on “Hometime,” one of PBS’s longest-running home improvement programs.

At BobVila.com, the pros and cons of baseboard electric and hydronic heating systems, compared to forced-air heating systems, are discussed.

Last fall, I taught my first online course dealing with designing hydronic heating systems. The course was titled “Mastering Hydronic System Design.” It was a collaborative effort between HeatSpring Learning Institute, BNP Media’s CE Campus and myself.

I like working with the control techs in our industry. They have such a passion for their craft. If left alone, they will control or monitor everything that moves, slides, shakes or switches.

Navien introduces the NCB Series combiboilers, the first condensing combination boilers capable of simultaneously delivering plentiful hydronic heat and unlimited domestic hot water
