Hydronic Piping Systems Proven Designs (Part 1)

- Do you have to “reinvent the wheel” with each new system you design? Learn the proven approaches, why they work and how to successfully apply them from John Siegenthaler, P.E., a favorite speaker to the webinar series. John will examine the basic approaches and discuss how they should be selected based on factors such as the heat source, zoning, thermal mass of the heat emitters and type of piping used. You'll learn:
- What are the "proven” approaches that will yield consistent performance?
- What’s the correct way to pipe a hydronic distribution system?
A seasoned hydronics leader and visionary, John shares his over 30 years' experience in designing modern hydronic heating systems with our audience. He is the author of Modern Hydronic Heating and contributes to numerous publications including Plumbing and Mechanical, PM Engineer and HPAC magazines. - Наука та технологія
Mr. Siegenthaler is simply the best. Excellent presentation with graphics that are clear and sensible.
This video was incredibly helpful, even just as a home owner. I have learned more than I could ever imagine from just the one video on how my heating system works.
Clear, to the point video. Many thanks
This is a fantastic video! I am not an HVAC tech or pipefitter, just someone interested in hydronic heating and this has been very informative and educational. Thank you for making this publicly available.
Thanks, Daniel, for your feedback.... and YOUR enthusiasm! It's our pleasure to share the webinar series with you!
I think I attended this webinar. It was very useful one, thanks!
Glad to read that!
Hi , on 47. 22 you have low head loss design , would it work with close spaced tees instead of hydraulic separator and short pipes for two secondary loops . Appreciate your answer .
Great stuff!
thanks hot rod and siggy... great lecture
We will pass them your comment. Thank you for attending!
great info!
Thank you!
Great Information...
Very Helpful
Thank you! Glad to read this.
Solar heat gain is mentioned often in this video. My question, with the advent of Low E glass, does that negate solar heat gain concerns or design criteria?
Very informative video series. I am a novice home owner hvac tech type with decades in industrial automation and process control. Currently installing radiant floor "warming" in my new slab home. The loops were the only thing the builder installed per my request. I find too many HVAC techs are just part swappers without any advanced knowledge. So my simple design of using a heat pump for heat source via heat exchanger for 6 zones flow regulated to achieve a warm floor was beyond local contractors "expertise". A conventional Hvac heat pump handles the air conditioning needs, while this radiant system is only expected to warm the floor for comfort.
Some solar gain still occurs even with Low E glass. You can refer to the 19th edition of idronics for more information. Refer to: www.caleffi.com/sites/default/files/coll_attach_file/idronics_19_na.pdf
I recently bought windows for my shop and the two varieties had the solar gain ratings listed along with the U rating and such. Nice to see.
Fantastic webinar. Is there a way to get a PDF or PPT copy of this presentation?
Hello, Saman: Thank you for your comments. Please email us at meeting@caleffi.com with your inquiry to receive the presentation.
Can you simply install a heat exchanger to a closed loop radiant heat system thats fed by a wood boiler
Hello! Possibly. You will need to look at pump control and temperature control to select between the wood boiler and your conventional boiler.
Question: What caused Boiler's pilot to turn off, before high limit settings is reached?
The single gauge has 2 needle pointing scales, but without any wires for possible control. The lower scale with the single needle indicates the water temperature on the scale of 60-260 degrees Fahrenheit, while upper scale is with 2 (pointing) needles for 2 separate scales. One scale is for Latitude with the range from 0 (zero) to 115, and another is for pressure on the scale from 0 (zero) true 50.
Expansion tank is 2 gallons at 30 PSI. The system has 3 Zone valves all of them mechanically in open position. The thermostat true 2 vires controls gas regulator solenoid, also with 2 wires.
After call from thermostat, and when the Pilot light is ON, the heating system turns ON. High limit switch on the aqua stat is set to 180 degrees, but boiler pressure is rising faster then temperature rises and at temperature of 165 degrees the pressure exceeds 40 degrees and shots OFF the gas to the burners, but in that process shots-off gas for pilot lights, as well.
Gas valve to the pilot suppose to stay ON, but it shots-off. Again, no any wiring to those 2 gauges exists, which could possible control it. Could the problem be in to slow heath dissipation from the radiators be or something else?
The boiler is typically controlled through internal aquastats and limit controls. Today’s high efficient boilers have multiple internal sensors that monitor supply and return water temperatures, flue temperatures, inducer fan speed and gas valve modulation all controlled through an internal control to perform these tasks. Individual zone thermostats talk though exterior zone switching relays to turn on pumps or open valves but send one signal back to turn on the boiler and start the process of heating water and boiler control. We would refer you to the 19th edition of idronics whereby you can dig deeper!

How about trunk and branch distribution system ?
Thanks, Andrii, for your question. We would refer you to review the 19th edition of idronics. Here's the link: www.caleffi.com/sites/default/files/coll_attach_file/idronics_19_na.pdf
As well, we would encourage you to contact your local Caleffi representative. We're here to help!
