#42 Get In the Zone! (with Mike Schreiner)

Épisode 42

mardi 18 juillet 2023 • Durée 27:28

In this episode, Greg and Dan talk to "the man, the myth, the legend" of zone valves, Mike Schreiner, Caleffi CTO. Mike has been working with zone valves for his entire career and is pleased to share his wealth of knowledge to help our Ask Caleffi audience learn:

What's important when considering a zone valve? How do you properly size? What is the flow coefficient (a.k.a. Cv or differential pressure) and why is it important? BTW: there is a BIG difference between close-off pressure and system pressure! Zone valves and actuators... say what? In which application is a 2-way valve best used? A 3-way? How are end switches applied? What's the difference between a micro-switch and a Reed switch? Normally Opened. Normally closed. Why Z-one? (one valve for ALL!) Valve versatility with union connections. How about relay boards? (you CAN'T wire a zone valve wrong with a relay board!)

All this and MORE when you Get in the Zone with Mike!

DHW recirculation systems can cause a lot of headaches, if not operating properly. Quick troubleshooting is essential, especially in the multi-family sector. How do you know what needs to be fixed? What questions do you need to ask occupants and building managers? Are all shower valves the same? Do you need x-ray vision?

In this two-part episode, the guys interview Mark Eatheton. Mark is a licensed Master Plumber in Colorado and an ICC licensed Master Mechanical Contractor. He has worked on a variety of troublesome, multi-family DHW recirculation projects over the years and offers his advice to avoid pulling your hair out. Mark and the team at Advanced Hydronics have worked with Energy Outreach Colorado to reduce energy usage and water waste in many projects across the state. Starting with occupant surveys, they determine what bothers the residents. After that, Mark describes the symptoms to look for throughout the building.

#32 What are the top 5 hydronic expansion tank questions? (with Cody Mack)

Épisode 32

mardi 11 janvier 2022 • Durée 14:27

An expansion tank is a very simple hydronic system component, yet it can cause complex troubleshooting woes. Improper charge expectations, waterlogging and sizing can all play a role. How can you determine if the expansion tank is the culprit for nuisance relief valve discharges?

In this episode, Cody Mack tells you how to whisper to an expansion tank in this service-focused conversation between three former field techs. Should you trust a factory precharge? How do you avoid "bear-hugging" an expansion tank to relieve an over-pressurization? The guys cover the ways to put your best foot forward with a new expansion tank, relating to proper acceptance volumes and when multiple non-ASME vessels may be an option. They also point out a few tips and tricks they have picked up to determine if the existing expansion tank needs some help. Caleffi components like air separators and steady boiler fill valves are part of the equation, too.

#31 DHW recirculation, in a perfect world?

Épisode 31

mardi 23 novembre 2021 • Durée 20:27

There are a lot of boxes to check to install and maintain an ideal DHW system. Don't worry! The guys can walk you through it. How do you verify a DHW system has been balanced properly? Which circulators pair best with thermal balancing valves? How do you find out if you are meeting your minimum flow rate for a point of distribution mixing valve?

In this Episode, Greg breaks down the components needed to operate the perfect DHW system. Pipe size, recirculation pumps, balancing valves, point of use and point of distribution mixing valves all play a role. Dan will tell you where to find the proper piping diagram for various systems. Dual tank, parallel mixing valve installs, the guys have seen it all. They also share stories, straight from the phone lines, where they had to put on their detective hats to help figure out how to modernize a 70-year-old system and also work through a tricky dual-temperature recirculation piping project.
