FORWARD
TRIAD Boiler Systems has a manufacturing history of over 80 years. TRIAD patented the original isolated,
modular boiler system concept. Each boiler / burner package has been specifically matched to provide
optimal performance. The boilers, however, are only a part of the complete operating system. They can only
meet their ratings if the system is properly designed and if the boilers receive proper care.
Two major things must be focused on to achieve successful implementation: Proper System Design and
Proactive Preventive Maintenance. While the TRIAD Boiler website
www.triadboiler.com may address some
issues, a design engineer should be involved. This Operations and Maintenance Manual addresses many
issues regarding usage.
It is important that the system design matches the performance of the boiler. A compatible design that
addresses combustion air, correct system sizing, fuel and water supply, and breeching is crucial, and should
be the responsibility of the system design engineer who must also ensure local code compliance. The boilers
will meet their full potential when part of an appropriate system design.
Efficient burner operation is highly dependent on proper adjustment, adequate combustion air, and correct
breeching. Make sure you carefully read the burner Operating and Maintenance Manual. Incorrectly dealing
with these issues can result in, among other things, a loss of efficiency, higher operating costs, sooting,
frequent cleaning, and high carbon monoxide (CO) output.
The successful, long-term operation of the boiler is dependent on the quality of its water. Failure to provide
suitable water will result in corrosion and the build-up of scale and mud / sludge / sediment causing
inefficient thermal transfer, an associated loss of efficiency, higher operating costs, and eventually lead to
premature boiler failure.
Being cognizant of these issues, and taking proper steps when required, should result in many years of
successful boiler operation.
TRIUMPH SS HIGH EFFICIENCY BOILERS
TRIAD is pleased to introduce a new line of High Efficiency boilers, the TRIUMPH SS series. This product line
is designed with a large horizontal combustion chamber matched with a specially engineered vertical
condensing section in stainless steel AISI 316 Ti. These elements are immersed in water contained in a
horizontal boiler drum with a vertical column to which the system inlet and outlet connections are fitted. All
the burners, controls, and pumps are all first quality name-brand OEM components.
These boilers reach very high efficiency levels as the flue gases not only are released at a temperature little
higher than that of the system return water, but also a large part of the water vapor contained in the flue
gases is condensed, recovering the latent heat of condensation.
Because the flame path is designed to go through the combustion chamber without inversion, the formation
of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) is limited as much as possible. This is because NOx typically forms when the flame
remains at high temperature in the combustion chamber for long periods.
