A project needs medium- and low-temperature radiant floor panels. The installer proposes using a mod/con boiler with a 1-inch tempering valve for lower temperatures and plans to pipe the entire system with 1-inch tubing. What potential issues could arise from this design?

Caleffi's new AutoFill has a fill rate of 5.5 GPM and maintains stable system pressure, ensuring consistent results without the need for constant monitoring.

This second edition of the Radiant & Hydronics All Stars eBook showcases the latest technology and design trends in the radiant and hydronic markets. It features insights from our All Star Roundtable on low-temperature systems and upcoming efficiency standards for circulator pumps by 2028, along with design trends for residential and commercial applications.

Always assume the old boiler was installed wrong. This principle has served me well in my career by finding problems before we own the system.

Junkyards are one of those forgotten places we in the heating business must visit on occasion.

Enertech Global announced the launch of its new monthly webinar series aimed at educating industry professionals about the technology and benefits of modern hydronics and heat pumps. 

The two photos below were from the same project. Flow is upward through the vertical pipe in Figure 1. Without any more details being described, can you spot at least two problems in each photo?

Last fall, we assessed a boiler replacement project for a town hall. Three out of four existing rare condensing cast iron boilers were inoperable within two years, and seven out of eight boilers failed within 10 years. During our visit, we meticulously examined various aspects to identify any potential issues.
