ThermoCyclers have provisions to duct in outside
combustion air and vent the potentially hazardous flue gases to the
outside.
The ThermoCycler system has been designed for quick and easy
installation, and can be easily disassembled and moved to another
location or building as your needs change. Thermo-Cycler requires
minimal horsepower which reduces electrical service size and costly
electrical accessories. The Thermo-Cycler does not require additional
concrete pads, roof supports, or additional structural reinforcement for
equipment support. Since Thermo-Cyclers are always installed indoors,
they are not subjected to the harmful effects of inclement weather.

DOLLARS and SENSE
Common sense says that it takes money to heat cold outside air up to
room temperature. Lots of money. But that is exactly how direct fired
makeup air systems operate. Bringing in excess cold air and heating it
up to pressurize a building causes exfiltration. Exfiltration costs
money. It continually is costing you money with air leaking out through
building cracks and it costs even more every time you open a door.
Thermo-Cyclers reuse the air that you have already heated.
Thermo-Cyclers reclaim the waste heat off of your lights, motors,
appliances, and processes before using any additional fuel. If your
building doesn't need a great deal of exhaust, Thermo-Cyclers make a
great deal of sense.
INDOOR AIR QUALITY
Unlike direct fired equipment, Thermo-Cyclers do not dump combustion
byproducts (flue gases) into the building air that you and your
employees breath. Thermo-Cyclers have provisions to duct in outside
combustion air and vent the potentially hazardous flue gases to the
outside. Although some manufacturers claim that only 20% of the air must
be brought in from the outside, many building codes require a minimum of
50% outside air to be brought in with direct fired makeup air. Some
local codes may even prohibit direct fired makeup air equipment
entirely. With government agencies continuing to release new findings on
the harmful health impact of combustion byproducts and the importance of
indoor air quality, future requirements may be even more stringent.
CONDENSATION CONTROL
Some manufacturers of direct fired equipment claim "automatic
humidification" as a benefit. However, automatic humidification is
simply the uncontrolled release of combustion byproducts (water, CO,
CO2, etc.) which occurs in unvented, direct gas fired heating equipment.
The combustion process will release approximately 11 gallons of water
per Mcf (1,000,000 Btu) of gas consumed. These byproducts increase the
likelihood of condensation formation and corrosion damage to metal
surfaces, roofing, and stored product. Thermo-Cyclers provide uniform
temperatures and constant air movement which greatly reduces the chance
of condensation formation.
INSTALLATION
The Thermo-Cycler system has been designed for quick and easy
installation. The Thermo-Cycler unit can also be easily disassembled and
moved to another location or building as your needs change.
Thermo-Cycler requires minimal horsepower which reduces electrical
service size and costly electrical accessories required by large
horsepower equipment The Thermo-Cycler does not require additional
concrete pads, roof supports, or additional structural reinforcement for
equipment support. Since Thermo-Cyclers are always installed indoors,
they are not subjected to the harmful effects of inclement weather. The
Thermo-Cycler unit requires only one (1) small flue penetration which
significantly reduces the chance of roof leaks and excessive building
penetrations are also eliminated.
MAINTENANCE
The Thermo-Cycler is designed for easy maintenance accessibility.
Routine maintenance and repairs are performed inside the building, not
on a cold, icy roof. Maintenance procedures to the Thermo-Cycler are
done directly from the floor instead of high on a ladder. Unlike large,
complex modulating burners, the gas burners used on the Thermo-Cycler
system can be easily serviced by a qualified local heating contractor.
SYSTEM EFFICIENCY
Although many manufacturers of direct fired equipment try to claim "100%
efficiency", actually only 92% of the gas used is converted to usable
heat. The remainder is lost as the water vapor byproduct associated with
the combustion process. This assumption is a best case scenario and is
based on proper setup and complete combustion of the direct fired
equipment. Thermo-Cycler is designed for 80% efficiency and all water
vapor is vented to the outside. The superior air distribution and
effective recovery of "waste" heat by the Thermo-Cycler system coupled
with the reduced requirement for outside combustion air will far exceed
the slight difference in combustion efficiency.
STRATIFICATION
Thermo-Cycler will significantly reduce stratification over conventional
heating equipment. The Thermo-Cycler system will usually have a total
wall to wall, floor to ceiling temperature difference of only 2-4°F
anywhere in the building.
LOW OPERATING COSTS
Energy efficient design of the Thermo-Cycler system will result in lower
horsepower, a smaller burner, and lower overall operating costs than
conventional heating equipment. Compared to conventional overhead
heating equipment, a properly designed, operated and maintained
Thermo-Cycler system will frequently use 20% to 60% less fuel. Night
setback controls are standard on every Thermo-Cycler. The energy
efficient design of the Thermo-Cycler unit also offers the advantages of
continuous air circulation at a minimal cost.
GUARANTEE
All parts carry a standard one year warranty. The heat exchanger on a
Thermo-Cycler carries a 10 year limited warranty. We will put our
estimated fuel use projections in writing. And THERMO-CYCLER INDUSTRIES
Inc. will offer the End Use Customer a money-back SATISFACTION
Guarantee. |
