Hot Water Boilers, Hydronic Heating, Steam boilers

Tuesday May 13, 2008 ---- Over 80 Years of Quality and Experience

INTRODUCTION

TRIAD Boiler Systems began almost 80 years ago to manufacture hot water heaters and hydronic heating convectors. The company soon expanded into the production of hot water boilers for commercial radiant heating applications. Today, TRIAD continues this tradition by manufacturing premium-quality commercial, packaged hot water and steam boilers. These modular units can be fired sequentially, based on heat-load requirements. With the use of commonly recognized, off-the-shelf controls and burners such as Honeywell, Powerflame and Gordon-Piatt, replacement parts are easy to obtain.

TRIAD Hot Water and Steam boilers use a steel firetube design with input ranging from 210MBTU to 1700MBTU per hour. Multiple units can be operated via a control panel to produce many millions of BTU's. All TRIAD models from 600MBTU to 1700MBTU carry an Underwriter's Laboratories ("UL") listing

Typical applications include:

You can choose from gas, oil, propane, or dual fuel burners.

A few highlights of TRIAD's history:

1926 Founded in Chicago, Illinois.
1939 Originates the industry's first "packaged hot water boiler."
1949 Installs the first modular hot water boiler system.
1962 Develops the first "primary - secondary" hot water boiler system.
1967 Obtains patent on primary-secondary system.
1982 Develops the first microprocessor modular boiler system control panel.
1986 Receives UL listing for the 900 series hydronic boiler-burner package.
1989 Introduces "Series 8900" fully programmable control panel.
1992 Offers a 10-year replacement warranty on boiler shells.
1996 Develops an updated oil-fired system with higher efficiencies.
2000 Offers a 20-year warranty against leaks caused by thermal shock.
2002 Introduces Series 1600 Hot Water and Steam Boilers
2003 Introduces Low NOx boiler.

All TRIAD boilers are constructed of steel, which has proven to be the optimum pressure-vessel material. Steel, as opposed to cast iron, can handle the stresses of combustion that reaches very high temperatures within seconds.

Steel allows for compact, efficient designs, with greater furnace volume, and more heat transfer surface within a given cubic space. The higher rate of heat transmission from steel results in a much more efficient system. .

SUPERIOR QUALITY AND DESIGN

We take great pride in the quality of our vessels. They are the most rugged small footprint boilers in the industry, constructed to exceed ASME Boiler Code standards.

	ASME Standards	TRIAD Standards	TRIAD Difference
Outer Shell	3/16"	1/4"	33% heavier
Flue Sheets	5/16"	3/8"	20% heavier
Firetubes	13 gauge	12 gauge	16.6% heavier

This is one of our most distinguishing competitive features.

Because of its straightforward design and rugged construction, our boilers can truly provide "Solutions For Investment Engineering".

Inspection procedures, based on ASME standards, are continually conducted by our team. A fully certified outside inspection firm also monitors the process and inspects each hot water or steam boiler twice during the manufacturing process.

Our design restricts firetube expansion to less than 1/32 of an inch, virtually eliminating the adverse effects of thermal shock.

Every hot water or steam boiler is registered with the National Board.

The Series 900 and 1600 hot water or steam boilers are complete UL Listed systems and all controls and electrical components are UL listed or recognized.

The Series 900 hot water and steam boilers are UL approved for Class B venting.

All fireside surfaces in TRIAD boilers are surrounded by water, eliminating high heat loss around the combustion chamber, and reducing wasted thermal transfer by up to 30%.

TRIAD provides a 10-year warranty against any pressure vessel leak and on the Series 900 a 20-year warranty against any pressure vessel leak caused by thermal shock.

Only national, name brand controls and components such as Honeywell controls, Gordon Piatt or Power Flame burners, and Bell & Gossett pumps, are used for high quality and easy field service.
