NEWTON COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL GETS A BOILER ROOM UPGRADE

The guys at Industrial Burner Systems of Quincy, MA recently completed the boiler replacement.  The replacement system was designed by FIA's own Brandon Teller and involved a complete repipe of the boiler room.  Gone are the 2 massive on off steam boilers and exchangers, in their place are the modulating stainless steel condensing boilers with a system turn down capacity of 30:1.  Also added were Pumps with VFD drives, and a  mixing valve controlled by a Tekmar 360  to provided two separate reset water temperatures   The big question facing the school is what to do with all the leftover space.

A few more photos.

What is a Giannoni Mono?

Although it may sound like something that you need a vaccination against, the Giannoni Mono is actually the stainless steel heat exchanger that many of today’s high efficiency boilers are based upon. Giannoni is the leader in Europe and the USA in the condensing boiler heat exchanger market. These heat exchangers are included in the Lochinvar Knight, Burnham Alpine, NTI Trinity and Munchkin boilers.
How do these heat the water? The water ways encircle the burner and as the burner heats up, the heat is transferred as the combustion gas passes thru, causing the initial heat exchange. The cooled combustion gas then passes into a secondary heat exchanger where it condenses and transfers latent heat to the water before being exhausted.
