Editorial Review:
From simple applications to multi-load/multi-temperature systems, you can now learn how to use the newest and most sophisticated hydronic heating materials and methods without compromising between comfort and energy. Heavily illustrated with product shots from top manufacturers, plus more than 300 diagrams of system piping/control schematics, this one-of-a-kind introduction to today's hydronic heating systems concentrates engineering-level design information into tools that can be used by technical students and professional contractors alike. Thoroughly updated, Modern Hydronic Heating, 2nd Edition now features the latest information on state-of-the-art techniques for use in residential and light commercial buildings, such as: radiant panel heating, injection mixing, primary and secondary piping, use of buffer tanks to improve system stability, and advanced control methods. Ideal for anyone involved in the heating trades, from basic installers to design engineers, this preeminent resource of the North American hydronic heating industry is as well suited for use in a formal education course or for self-study as it is on the job.

Great book for the technical-minded DIY'er  2008-07-17
I am a DIY'er with an engineering background and this book is great! It walks you through various systems and associated calculations.
This book is assembled like a text book and comprehensive. It is not like a DIY brochure you'll find in your hardware store. This book covers everything you need to know to design and build a hydronic heating system and why you do what you do. As an engineer, I needed that level of explanation, however, some folks might not.
In summary, I found the book to be absolutely invaluable in designing and building my hydronic baseboard/boiler system and I highly recommend it.
Excellent resource for the professional hydronic designer!  2008-06-01
The newest addition to my hydronic heating library thoroughly covers a complicated subject. Perhaps best suited for the seasoned professional, given so much information; proper application could be a challenge. The design formulas are certainly here for the discerning professional.
Well-done Mr. Siegenthaler!

Excellent Text for anyone with some technical knowledge and practical experience 2008-02-28
I've found this text to be extremely helpful as I am planning and building a new shop with hydronic heating. It is very well written with excellent photos & illustration, Good technical detail with graphs and equations to enable the reader to create a design with confidence. Definitely a good investment for my library.
To much science, not enough practical information.  2008-01-19
I am a Master Plumber who was asked to design and install a Hydronic Heating System. I hoped this book would provide a step-by-step engineering process for designing a radiant heating system, but it does not.
What it does provide is a somewhat scattered knowledge of Hydronic Heating, at the engineering and scientific levels, but does not bring them together to create anything useful like how to design a system. If you are to use this book to design a system, you are on your own. You must conceptualize the design yourself and choose the applicable engineering from various chapters in the book. I find it very frustrating.
I don't care how many BTUs/lb it takes to convert water to ice or vice versa, or the specific heat of steel. I just want to create a Hydronic heating system without being dragged through a lot of unnecessary knowledge.
If you new to Hydronic Heating you will need several days to familiarize yourself enough with the math and concepts presented in this book to design a system. Hope you have the time!
Wish I'd had this before building my system 2007-12-09
This book is quite comprehensive, covering every component of a hydronic
heating system in detail, along with exercises and system diagrams of
numerous variations. Even simple components such as air purge devices
and expansion tanks get sections or even chapters to themselves.
There is a very good chapter that lays out about 10 different methods
of designing the distribution system.
Lots and lots of information and tips on tubing layout, as well as
surveys of the different methods of putting the tubing down (thick
slab, thin slab, dry on top, under the floor, etc)
It's definitely in textbook format, and would probably be the type of
book you'd use for a hydronic heating course at your local community
college IF you could find such a course.
Only a couple of nitpicks.
--It's a pricey book. I passed over it until I found a $9 copy
on the sale table.
--my first edition is still talking about polybutylene tubing
and tankless hot water heaters are not mentioned. I don't have a copy
of the 2nd edition to compare.
--given that PEX has become widespread for this type of application,
more information on PEX would be appreciated.
