Comfort Plus Hydronic Heating System
5100 Series
The Comfort Plus Hydronic system adds a new dimension to heating by blending hydronic heating with Electric Thermal Storage (ETS) Technology. During off-peak hours, when electricity costs and energy usage generally are substantially lower, the Comfort Plus Hydronic unit converts electricity into heat and stores that heat in specially designed high-density ceramic bricks located inside the unit. Through the use of a heat exchanger, this stored heat is transferred as needed from the storage media to a water or glyco solution, which is circulated to areas where the heat is needed. The Comfort Plus Hydronic system has the ability to utilize off-peak, time of day (or time of use), demand based or other preferential electric rates to generate considerable savings for the consumer while delivering the many benefits associated with hydronic heating.
The system is extremely flexible and can handle multiple heating zones (see application diagram example). Heat can be delivered via a radiant floor system, baseboard radiation, free standing radiators, a forced air system or almost any combination of zoned delivery systems. The Comfort Plus Hydronic can also be used as a supplement to a single or multiple heat pumps. The Comfort Plus Hydronic system is easy to operate. Just set the room thermostat to the desired comfort level and enjoy the safe, clean reliable and economical heat this off-peak hydronic system provides.
