giannoni absolute condense
clammy
Member Posts: 3,163
Thanks for the defence Brad and i'm not offend by spicoli at all .i'll try to use some periods just remenber i'm only public school hi school ed at it's worse but that was my own fault. Thanks for that down load Noel it looks as if it is the giaconni absoulte ,i just fiqured HTP would be first to bring to the market in the states .As i thought the contender just used hpde for the mainifold section header instead stainless but i could be wrong i have not used the contender yet i did not dig the only 3 to 1 modulation .The point i was trying to make is i see alot of munchkin bashing but on another thought i see praise to NTI,smith GT line and a bunch of other who basically use the smae HE and burner but yet differt controllers beside s the controller there basically the same except the price tag also .I have about 6 munchkins out there that i installed and at least a dozen that i have installed for plumber buddies of mine .I have yet to see a heat exchanger as dirty as some that have been posted here espically all the so called mouse turds and between all of them just about every possible confrigeration of appproved venting also .my personal thoughts are the turds are from the fuel source , air containments ,re circ or lack of proper set up .But getting back to my main question what's the real thoughts about this secondary air exchanger and as the document Noel attached has anyone yet installed one and what was there opions on this added exchanger to the classic heat exchanger and does it do as giaconni says which always condensateion during hi temp domestic water production and of course lower sounds levels .thansk peace and good luck clammy PS i'll work on the grammar.

giaconni absolute condenser
Well as much bashing i see HTP munchkin get around here and all the praise that other manafactures get who use the same exact heat exchanger and burner made by company that they re bag have all of a sudden is become excellent really makes no sense to me therer still giaconni sp heat exchangers and burners ,but the real question is when is the next level of giaconni sp absoulte condenser going to be distrubited in the states by who ever throws there name on it first being where only getting the classic and now the duo heat exchanger when are these next level of giaconni heat exchangers going to be released one being the condense and the absoulte i believe that the absoulte is of a impressive air to air pre heat exhaust exchanger to me very interesting ,and for all the bashing just remenber who was one of the first to go out on a limb and open the us market to mod cons before they all jumped on board (us companies only )am i right in thinking that the absoulte condenser is may be the next level in mod con for every body who cannot afford the big orange V or buderus Gb142 nothing against them but at the prices i and my mechincal and plumbing buddies get there ain't a chance in hell any body in the imcome bracket we commonly deal with would evev pay unless i was to do the install for about nothing ,also i'm not in a ghetto market ,i live in one of the most expensive counties in new jersey with some of the highest taxes in the country .All aside i.m waiting for some more HTP and probaly soem giaconni abuse but what's the real thoughts on the absoulte peace clammyR.A.

Wow
That's a very long sentence. Are you asking a question? Are you making a statement? Maybe working on some punctuation or correct spelling would help get your message/question/thought across.0 -
We all
communicate differently, Spicoli. Stream of consciousness, mis-spellings, run-on sentences, lack of punctuation... but so what?
Clammy is an able tradesman with a huge heart. Not that he needs defending, but your approach shows a lack of tact if not lack of class in my book.
If you really wanted to be helpful then that is what off-line communication is for. I am responding publicly for at least some sense of balance and fairness.
To openly and publicly critique beyond the technical has a touch of the bully, from what I can see.

Contender
Hi Clammy,
I thought that the Munchkin Contender was using the Absolute Condense heat exchanger already. This is the composite one, I think? Can't use them here in MI, no ASME stamp. Bummer,seem to be very affordable.

Knocking on my wooden head but,,,
that Munchkin T-50 I put in is still chugging away. I am VERY curious to open it up come springtime to see what's inside. I'm actually going there shortly for a meeting with the guy on another project, so I'm sure I'll stop in and say hello to it.0 -

OK Brad
Chill out there, my man. I like clammy, I like his posts and I am interested in what he has to say. He is sometimes hard to understand. I'm not the first one to call him on that.
I'll apologize to clammy, I meant no offense to him.
You, Brad, need to chill out, drink decaf, loosen up the undies a tad.
I'd still like to know what he was getting at, because he does post some good stuff.0 -
I be chillin, Spicoli
OK, we are cool. I am the last person said to be high strung... and as far as undies, well maybe I go commando once in a while
Sorry to take you to task, just that I too love Clammy's posts. And yours too.0 -
wow
Is it just me, or has the quality of installation manuals improved 1000% over the past couple years?
The piping diagrams in this one (as well as a bunch of the other modcon manufacturers) are really nice.0 -
noe therm not absoulte but duo
Noel thanks for the down load but from a half hearted look at it seems that this is a giaconni duo heat exchanger and not the absolute ,the absoulte has a primary air to final exhaust heat exchanger which supposely lower exhaust temp while rising combustion air inlet temp which should lower exhaust temps .is this a newer dungs valve for i see that it is equipted with a high and low gas valve adjustmnet which sounds like a great step up over trying to get the best of both worlds from one adjustment parameter.thanks again for the info ,also Brad i had your e mail address but some how lost froma computer crash ,here's mine RDEUZA@aol.com have a few off line question that you may be able to clear up for me thansk to all peace and good luck clammyR.A.

closer look
Ross you are correct it certainly looks like the absoulte condenser heat exchanger ,i really wonder why they only offer these with a 3 to 1 turndown as the 4 to 1 on the munchkin ,thanks for bringing it to my attention ,i like to give one of them a try but things being what they are nothing is selling unless your doing it for a days pay,things are getting very cut throat when it get slow .Thanks again peace and good luck clammyR.A.
