by Holohan, Dan       
(Paperback - English - 9780974396057)
I wrote this book for people who prefer plain-English explanations of how things work. You won't find much math in this book. No formulas. No mumbo-jumbo. What you will find are simple words of ordinary conversation, and a lot of very easy-to-follow drawings relating to hydronic radiant heating. There are also stories - lots of them like to tell stories about the things I've seen as I've traveled around the US, Canada and Europe, looking at hydronic radiant installations. I've seen installers do things the right way and the wrong way, andlearned from them all.dug into old books as well as the current literature to write this one, anddid my very best to boil down ..

by Holohan, Dan       
(Paperback - English - 9780996477215)
Most of America's classic hydronic systems are older than we are, and they've gone through changes over the years, some of them painful changes. Many of these systems went in before we knew as much as we know today about hot-water heating. So let's talk about how Classic Hydronic systems work, how they've changed over the years, and what we can do right now to get the most out of them without spending a fortune. (Oh, andpromise you a few great stories along the way.) My goal is to make you "see" inside those older systems, and to be able to do stuff that others say can't be done. Ifcan do that, you will be nodding your head and smiling at your newfound knowledge ..

Primary-Secondary Pumping Made Easy!
by Holohan, Dan       
(Paperback - English - 9780996477260)
I was fortunate to have had the late, great Gil Carlson as one of my teachers. He invented primary-secondary pumping in the early '50s and went on to do many other things. Over the years, I've watched a lot of trial and error with primary-secondary heating systems. That's a shame because guesswork costs both time and money. In this book, I've used what Gil taught me to show you how to reduce the size of your pipes, valves, fittings and pumps, and how to lower heating system temperature, and all without sacrificing performance or getting into trouble. This book covers two-pipe primary-secondary heating systems, as well as one-pipe heating systems. It shows how to ..

E.D.R.: Ratings for Every Darn Radiator (and convector) you'll probably ever see
by Holohan, Dan       
(Paperback - English - 9780996477253)
If you're replacing a steam boiler, there's only one right way to size that boiler, and that's to measure the radiators. If you're replacing a hot-water boiler, you'll do a heat-loss calculation on the building as it is today, but it also pays to measure the radiation to see if you can reduce the water's temperature and save fuel. The challenge, though, is that it's often difficult to find the ratings for many of those old radiators and convectors, and that's whycompiled this book. I've been saving heating books and heating-manufacturers' literature since 1970.have a lot of this stuff. E.D.R. is 272 pages of nothing but radiator and convector ratings and if that ..
