Honeywell Intl. Inc. honed in on the connected home during the 2018 AHR Expo while also expanding its already broad portfolio in a number of different market segments, including hydronics, potable water systems, humidification, and IAQ.
This kit provides fast and effective flushing to remove damaging iron oxide and other non-magnetic debris from hydronic heating systems in two hours. Containing two powerful magnetic assemblies and an included drain valve, the device also heats system water and allows cleaner to remain in the system throughout the cleaning process for maximum effectiveness.
As the old saying goes, there is more than one way to skin a cat. The same can be said of residential hydronic systems, which can be designed around numerous types of terminal units, including baseboards, radiators, air handlers, and radiant panels, to name just a few.
According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, heating accounts for roughly one-third of the total energy consumption in U.S. commercial buildings, with boilers supplying heat to about 33 percent of total floor space. Keeping these boilers operating at peak performance is the goal of most commercial building owners and managers, who typically want to minimize energy costs and maximize comfort.
Preventive Maintenance is Crucial for Commercial Hydronic Systems Unfortunately, many homeowners, business owners, and technicians are willing to let the boiler slide for months or even years without a proper checkup.
Manufacturers of HVAC equipment are a charitable bunch, often lending a hand after weather-related and natural disasters, as well as offering their expertise to national and local charities. They are particularly generous when it comes to supporting trade schools and vocational training programs that count on their donations of HVAC equipment in order to provide a hands-on experience for their students. By donating equipment to trade schools and vocational training programs, manufacturers demonstrate their dedication to educating the next generation of HVAC professionals.
In this intensive, hands-on, two-day course, John Barba, residential training manager, Taco Comfort Solutions, provides a real-world look at modern residential hydronic systems, teaching common-sense solutions to the challenges they face every day in the field.
Before I allow a tool into my work, I do a lot of online research. Then, I go for rigorous hands-on experience at trade shows, tool jamborees, or manufacturer
