John Siegenthaler: Hydronics Workshop

RSS

There are hydronic design concepts in which flow must pass backward through a non-operating circulator, perhaps thousands of times over the life of the system.

Flow reversal is possible in a P/S system, but is it practical?

When — and when not — to use reverse return piping.

Twenty years ago, the contemporary approach to prevent interference between simultaneously operating circulators in a hydronic system was primary/secondary piping.

A seemingly good idea that doesn’t work.

It’s not sexy, but outdoor reset is still a ‘smart’ choice.

Strive for what seems impossible at the present.

Hydronic systems donít have to be large or complex to be state-of-the-art.
