My other garage...

... even heat close to the planes, clean floors, and even if you open the doors in the middle of winter, the place is back up to temp in no time.

I'll wager that it's not just the owner that loves this work environment, it's the employees too. Great Job, Mark!

Has airplanes in it...

Don't I wish :-)

Thanks to Greg Gibbs of Shamrock for the lead.

Dropped by the other day to replace a defective T-stat. Owner said he LOVES the new system, and in the process of trippling his conditioned square footage, his utlilty bill only increased therm consumption by 25%.

The efficiency legacy of radiant floors continues...

Wow!

You can almost see the comfort radiating off all that concrete!

Must be a pleasure to crawl under one of those planes on a cold day.

Nice,

Jim

HEY!!!!!!!

That looks like my plane. I was wondering what happened to it.

Nice job Mark

What brand boilers are those ? And how high are the ceilings ? I often hear that radiant heat stays closer to body level . I wonder if anyone tried setting up thermometers in radiant heated spaces with high ceilings and have the results ?

chemical feeder

what kind of chemical feeder is that and do you use them on all of your jobs. We are considering specing them on our boiler jobs

thp_8

Yes

In a tractor repair shop. We put a outdoor thermometer on a rope with a pulley at the ceiling. We would put it at the floor and get 80*F pull it to the ceiling 30 feet up and get 50*F. People say heat always rises.

MARK

Who's boilers are those and are you concerned with the flame rollout thats going on ?

Thanks for that. I been wanting to say that for 2 days. But did not want to bash.

ScottMP

I'm not bashing

but when you get photos and a chance to look at them for a while you notice things.

I've seen enough of Marks work to never bash, just ask.
We're all here to learn and Mark is one the best teachers.

NEVER be afraid to ask questions. I'm only human too, and contrary to soem peoples popular beliefs, I put my pants on one leg at a time, just like everyone else. ;-)

As for the boiler, it's not spillage, it's scorching through the jacket/refractory assembly of the boiler. The breaching pressure on every Allied boiler I've ever checked is neutral. Zero, Zip, NADA, not even .01" negative pressure. The factory is aware of it, and doesn't seem to be too concerned.

Personally, I always thought you had to have SOME negative pressure there in order to sustain proper draft through the fire box, but WTFDIK...I'm just a lost hot water heating plumber roaming the plains, hills and dales of Colorado:-)

Through experimentation of my own, I've discovered that there is -.05" negative pressure in the main flue of the flue gas evacuation system, and if I block off the mushroom shaped hood w/aluminum foil), I get -.02" at the breaching before the draft hood, but the factory doesn't approve that, or the use of barometric dampers.

So, I sit back and watch the paint getting scorched. Wassamuttha to do?

Thanks for asking.

Wil...

it's just a generic pot feeder. We don't typically install them, but the engineer of record drew it in, so we threw it in. We usually force feed our chems with a hand pump.

Thanks Mark

I knew there'd be a good answer
