We believe this to be the first, truly self-contained Delta-T ECM Hydronic Distribution enabled Heating APPLIANCE. It dramatically alters the installation of hydronic (FHW) heating systems as a free-standing, modular construction, application specific device. The installation task is reduced to merely positioning our Appliance and extending interconnect piping & wiring as necessary. Skill levels, installation and operational costs are significantly reduced with predictable system performance resulting. Interchangeable gas or oil firing options ….. same appliance!

The proprietary items that support our claims beyond any contemporary hydronic heating installation are:

  1. Near-boiler piping configuration permits a “packaged” device, optimizing natural hydronic (gravity) convection with de facto Indirect Water Heater service prioritization.
  2. High-mass Boiler and Indirect Water Heater thermal capacities enable prolonged convection heating continuity under failed circulator or power burner conditions.
  3. Lowered system temperature operation and reduced burner cycling times for increased efficiency, extended system life with lower operating costs.
  4. All high-mass cast iron, steel, brass & bronze construction provides prolonged, natural chemical corrosion and thermal shocking resistance vs. all contemporaries.
  5. Proprietary components and assemblies enhance appliance operation and performance.
  6. A “Design for Manufacture” Appliance provides optimum consumer value.

“Simple, Durable, Efficient FHW Heating ….. Period!”

About the Author

Paul Mercier

A Semi-Retired Manufacturing Process Development and Hydronics Engineer.
Following a stellar career in Computer Hardware & Software, Miniature Ball Bearing, Avionics & Panel Meters, Magnetics, Plasma, IC & Discrete Component and Product Manufacturing throughout New England, have re-focused on a second, parallel skill set in Hydronic Heating.
Received U.S. Patent 10,690,356 on an "ENHANCED CONVECTION, DIFFERENTIAL TEMPERATURE MANAGED, HYDRONIC HEATING APPLIANCE". It is America's first, true Hydronic Heating Appliance, enabled by Taco Delta-T ECM Hydronic Circulation coupled with our proprietary near-boiler piping system. The resultant is a simple, durable and efficient hydronic heating appliance that surpasses all contemporary built-on-site systems both in value and performance.
