“THE HANDY HEADER™” – Building Block to Hydronic Distribution Efficiency

Boilers On Demand announces “The Handy Header™”, entitled “THE COMPACT STEEL HYDRONIC HEADER” within our Patent Submission. It is the first of several proprietary devices that contribute to the documented performance of our first, true Delta-T ECM Hydronic (Forced Hot Water) Heating Appliance (U.S. Patent 10,690,356 – Canada to follow).

The “Compact Steel Hydronic Header” is a redefinition of the common welded steel-piped boiler header, optimized for hydronic performance and utilitarian value. Design compaction reduces the size and material content of current headers by approximately 40 percent while increasing hydronic distribution (flow) efficiency proportionally at minimum.

Designed specifically to minimally space and orient Taco® “Zone Sentry” Valves, it supersedes the need for a Valve or Circulator Relay Panel on our Delta-T ECM Circulator-based systems. It has similar value on “conventional” heating system installations, however we are initially offering The Handy Header™ System only on our proprietary “Neo-Gravity Hydronic Heating Appliance” products.

The “Compact Steel Hydronic Header” is the “building block” for a series of logical derivatives as follow:

1. The Compact Header – The Base

2. Zone Valve Assembly (Pre-Built)

3. Hydronic Distributor (Pre-Built)

4. Miscellaneous Applications

The Compact Steel Header System is utilized on both our Modular Supply and Return Assemblies, configured to the Client Application.

The Delta-T ECM Hydronic Distributor (our naming) is uniquely applicable within our larger, Multi-Boiler Systems. A series of these can be branched off the System Supply Log to suit extended installation requirements.

Additional device announcements will follow upon prior qualification.

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.
