We had a humble beginning with a staff of two outside salespeople, one telephone salesperson and one secretary. We also cover several Kentucky and Michigan counties. We provide our customers with a complete service package which includes energy loss survey, application, drawings, installation and education. But when it comes to generating and controlling these vital fluids, system problems can be severe, even emergencies. What makes us different is that we inventory almost all of the product lines we represent.
Water heaters are steam-driven tube bundle type heat exchangers.
A temperature control valve typically modulates steam flow into the tubes to control water temperature. On the condensate side, a trap drains and discharges the condensed liquid into the return system. Steam air coils work much the same way with steam or hot water in the tubes. Fins on the outside of the tubes transfer most of the heat to the moving air. Temperature control valves again throttle the steam or water flow to hold a desired air temperature.
