Master Advanced Hydronic Design with John Siegenthaler. John works with you for 10 weeks - Learn to design state-of-the-art systems that deliver comfort, efficiency, and reliability.
This comprehensive 10-week course, developed in partnership with the Biomass Thermal Energy Council (BTEC), is a unique opportunity for professionals to learn from an industry expert and take their skills to the next level.
This course introduces the technology used in modern air-to-water heat pumps and shows how to build complete systems around them.
“Heat Pumps 101” is a free course from John Siegenthaler. It takes less than an hour to complete. You’ll learn the very basics of heat pump technology, including heat transfer, refrigeration, and what applications are commonly used.
This course examines best practices for combining modern, high efficiency wood-fired boilers with hydronic distribution systems.
This lecture will outline 4 different methods for providing hydraulic separation, some of which may reduce the installation and operating cost of a system.
According to John Siegenthaler, The future of hydronic heating is low water temperature-- necessary to optimize the performance of condensing boilers, heat pumps, and solar thermal collectors.
In this lecture, hydronics expert John Siegenthaler explains the importance of low water temperature heat emitters and distribution designs in modern hydronic systems.
John Siegenthaler discusses the protection of wood gasification boilers through a 58 minute lecture, and a free PDF tutorial.
This free lecture describes a unique method of managing the operation of biomass-fueled as well as auxiliary boilers for optimum system performance.
