As utilities and building owners look for new energy storage solutions, hydronic thermal storage presents an efficient alternative to batteries in many applications.
Non-pressurized storage systems have advantages and limitations. In applications where cost per gallon of storage is critical, or where it’s otherwise impractical to bring in one or more pressure-rated tanks, a non-pressurized tank combined with the piping and control concepts discussed represents a viable solution to leverage the combination of time-of-use electrical rates, heat pumps, and the unsurpassed comfort made possible by modern hydronics technology.
Tasked with protecting valuable artwork while controlling operating costs, the Tacoma Art Museum upgraded its heating system with Lochinvar Crest with Hellcat boilers. The retrofit has delivered energy savings of more than 10% while helping the nonprofit secure grant funding for the project.
Air-to-water heat pumps are different from boilers. As the outdoor air temperature decreases, their heating output decreases. That’s a characteristic of all air-source heat pumps, and it runs opposite to how heating load changes with decreasing outdoor temperature.
Three of the four storage water heater categories posted year-over-year monthly increases: residential gas rose 6.7%, residential electric increased 0.8% and commercial electric jumped 10.9%. Commercial gas was the exception, declining 5%.
Filling the role vacated by Wade Peterson (retired), Kim Laurette will be responsible for driving sales and marketing strategies and will report to Geoffrey Holloway.
Radiant floor heating is expanding rapidly into commercial environments and early-stage project specifications, defying broader housing and remodeling market headwinds through strong “stay-put” renovation and trade labor efficiency trends.
