Appropriate Designs, through an exclusive arrangement with Caleffi North America, is pleased to offer you two of the Caleffi handbooks on hydronic heating.
Although produced in Italy by one of the world's finest manufacturer of hydronic heating hardware, these handbooks are now available in English. They discuss the classic application of hydronic heating from a European prospective, and complement North American references on the subject.
Caleffi has a well-established worldwide reputation for impeccable quality. Such quality is evident in their products as well as their publications. Illustrations are clear, consistent, and easy to follow. Text is clearly translated, to the point, and yet very readable.
This manual covers the basics of several hydronic distribution systems including those with mixing valves and circuit balancing valves. Detailed analytical models for the thermal and hydraulic performance of devices such as panel radiators are presented. For example, where else could you find a method to adjust the heat output of a panel radiator based on the altitude where it's installed, or even how it's painted? You'll find an abundance of information that few other references put forth in such a practical manner.
All information in this handbook is generic. This is not a sales related publication, it's a well-researched and clearly written text on the proper application of hydronic heating principals. It demonstrates the thorough knowledge of the European hydronic heating industry.
