The Golden Rules of Hydronic Heating: How to Do Unto It Before It Does Unto You

I'm a saver. For years, I jotted down things I came across in old books that I thought I could use when I was troubleshooting an old steam or hot-water heating system. I kept these notes in my "work wallet," an old leather billfold I carried in my jacket pocket. My daughters used to make fun of the work wallet because, after a while, it started to look like a leather-bound diary by Lewis and Clark. "Don't drop that on your toe!" they'd say.

When I finished The Lost Art of Steam Heating, the situation got even worse. I had dozens of charts in Lost Art that showed the maximum carrying capacity of steam pipes in just about any sort of system you'll ever run across. I had interpolated these charts from data that changed repeatedly during the Steam Era. I felt really comfortable with what I had finally decided upon, and they've served me well in the field ever since. But when I added those charts to what was already in my work wallet it started to look like a phone book.

Which is why I decided to put this little handbook together. Here, in Golden Rules, you'll discover all these hard-to-find charts, tables and formulas that will help you both size and troubleshoot steam- and hot-water-heating systems.

And because I like to smile, I also salted the book with my own personal "Golden Rules" such as:
â€¢Mother Nature makes no allowances for ignorance or budgets.
â€¢You can have it good. You can have it fast. You can have it cheap. Pick two.
â€¢The Laws of Physics will always override the Laws of Economics. When you do something stupid in heating you will always be rewarded in a small way. This leads you to do other stupid things.
â€¢When it comes to steam heating, if it makes sense, don't do it!
I think you'll like this handbook a lot.
