Thermostream Design Eliminates Thermal Shock

Buderus developed the Thermostream Principle for cast iron boilers. This design incorporates return water entering a central return distribution pipe. Heated supply bud_thermo.gif (10413 bytes)

water travels along the outside of this distribution pipe creating an internal counter flow heat exchanger. Return water is then injected into, mixed, and heated with supply water in the top header before entering the outer waterways of the sections. Different diameter ports in the distribution pipe ensure proportionate flow to all boiler sections. Sections that transfer more heat receive more water resulting in equal thermal stress in all sections. Thermal shock is impossible by design due to internal water circulation and deflection of cold return water away from directly heated surfaces.

Optimum chamber design eliminates need for refractory materials.
Full size burner door provides easy front access for cleaning and burner service.
Removable baffles in secondary flue passages enhance turbulent heat transfer.

Benefits of Thermostream Boiler design:

No thermal shock at any return temperature due to unique design.
No minimum return water temperature requirement eliminates shunt pump/controls.
No minimum flow requirement, boiler can operate at any flow rate.
Simplifications in overall heating plant design.
Savings in equipment cost, installation, maintenance and operating costs.
