John Siegenthaler, P.E., a seasoned industry expert with over 30 years’ experience designing modern hydronic heating systems, author and popular guest speaker for the Coffee with Caleffi™ webinar series, returns on Thursday, July 23 at 12 noon CDT discussing Utilizing Thermal Buffering in Hydronic Systems.
There are many types of hydronic systems where the rate of heat generation is different from the rate at which the building requires heat. When only one or two zones require heating, the output of the boiler far exceeds the rate of heat demand. This can lead to heat source short cycling, reduced efficiency and shorter equipment life. Siegenthaler will explore how to avert such conditions by adding thermal storage to the system.
The one-hour educational webinars are free and are intended for contractors, designers and wholesalers. Please visit Caleffi’s website at www.caleffi.com for schedule details and registration.

For Residential & Light Commercial Buildings
Heatspring Learning Institute, in partnership with the Biomass Thermal Energy Council and John Siegenthaler, will soon launch a new “lite” version of their 10-week online course: Hydronic-Based Biomass Heating Systems. The new course will focus specifically on residential and light commercial building systems that use high efficiency / low emission wood gasification and pellet-fired boilers. The course is designed to be completed in one week, and provides 7 AIA continuing education hours.
This self-paced course focuses on system design. It shows how to use modern hydronic heating technology to enhance the performance characteristics of wood gasification and pellet-fired boilers, while providing safe, efficient operation, as well as unsurpassed comfort.
It covers fuel sources, energy cost comparisons, boiler sizing and selection, venting, thermal storage, auxiliary heat source integration, control concepts, and low temperature hydronic distribution systems. It pulls these design elements together into several complete and fully documented combisystem designs.
Students can ask post questions to John Siegenthaler on a facebook style bulletin board. They can also interact with other students, download PDF files of all course materials for future reference, and test their level of understanding.
After completing this course, heating professionals will be equipped with the knowledge needed to design and install efficient, safe, and reliable heating systems fueled by an abundant and fully renewable fuel source.
The course begins on May 11, 2015, For more information please visit:
