DESIGNER RADIATORS

Hello USA.
Here in the uk we mainly use hot water heating systems. I understand in the usa steam systems are used & our steel radiators if used will corrode. I manufacture a new range of radiators where the water only comes into contact with copper & brass. The unit is connected by standard threaded connections via valves. I read that a steam system needs steam traps can these be fitted in the pipework without the need to modify my unit. Please see the website www.jouleflow.com this explains the principle. Is there a market in the usa for this type of unit? I look forward to any help or comments.
Best regards,
Greg Webb.

    Thats thinking outside the box!

    There is a group here on the Wall that feels that copper and steam shouldn't be mixed, Search the site on "copper returns" or "copper and steam" and you will find much discussion on this.

    Traps can be piped in near the radiator and are normally found on the radiator on the outlet.

    Generally you need larger inlet size for steam than water. I would definitely fit these to a steam boiler before I tried to sell them as steam radiators and see if they work and what the output is.

    Regards
