Benefits of Modularity
TRIAD's elegantly simple design maintains consistent water volume where heat is required.
TRIAD's elegantly simple design maintains consistent water volume where heat is required.
- Boilers are activated sequentially, drawing water from the main loop into the next hot water boiler until the heating need is meet.
- firing boilers remaining isolated, so no heated water circulates through cold boilers.
- During most of the year the unfired boilers provide additional backup.
- Outdoor temperatures and loop water temperatures are constantly monitored.
Fisher Capital on Boiler Room Equipment, Inc: The efficiency of this design is most apparent during warmer months, when a conventional hydronic heating or steam boiler could still be operating at full capacity.
Primary-Secondary Piping
TRIAD integrates modularity with a single pipe primary-secondary system. TRIAD was the first company to employ a Primary-Secondary concept. It operates with two loops, (i) the primary loop, or building main loop, and (ii) smaller secondary loops off of each hot water boiler, which supply heated water to the primary loop.
Upon a call for heat, the boiler pump begins pushing the return water into the boiler and out through the secondary loop, supplying this hot water up into the primary loop (the main header), where it mixes with the cooler return water from the main loop of the building.

- Supply and return water are blended, avoiding the need for expensive and unreliable mixing valves commonly used in two pipe systems.
- The secondary loop isolates each hot water boiler, resulting in a very efficient system that minimizes thermal shock.
Control Panel
TRIAD Boilers can be sequenced by the use of our control panel that provides many attractive features:
TRIAD Boilers can be sequenced by the use of our control panel that provides many attractive features:
- Temperature set-back when less heat is required, such as nights and weekends.
- Adjustments for latent heat, to take advantage of hot boiler water that retains heat after the burner shuts down.
- Outdoor reset based on atmospheric temperatures.
- Monitoring of return water temperatures to maintain accurate heating output.
It is also very easy to sequence our boilers using the panel of any other major manufacturer.

Fisher Capital Management Corporate News: Why shouldn’t Murdoch get what he wants? Others do
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/apr/12/politicians-control-over-corporate-interests
Imagine reports that, during the 2010 election, members of Labour’s campaign team hired private detectives to hack the mobile phones of Tory leaders and aides, accessing in particular voicemail messages left by the editors of the Sun and News of the World. Imagine that a sleuth was convicted, along with the minor apparatchik at Labour headquarters who hired him.
Imagine that Labour leaders insisted that the apparatchik was a rogue operator, that nobody else in the party could possibly be involved, and that Gordon Brown, along with his henchmen Eds Miliband and Balls, were entirely in ignorance of what their underlings had been up to.We can be certain the press would not let the matter rest there. Any shortcomings in the police investigation would be closely scrutinised.
Fisher Capital Management Corporate News: NDP promise: Keeping corporate tax rate below the U.S.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canadavotes2011/realitycheck/2011/04/ndp-promise-keeping-corporate-tax-rate-below-the-us.html
There is currently a nine percentage point spread between the average Canadian federal/provincial corporate tax rate (approximately 26 per cent) and the U.S. federal corporate tax rate (35 per cent).
Add in state corporate taxes on top of the federal, and the gap becomes more like about 14 per cent. The NDP could raise Canada’s corporate rate to heights not seen in decades, and still keep this promise.
But how useful are these cross-national comparisons of corporate tax rates that politicians are so fond of?
The U.S. has the world’s largest economy, is home to more Fortune 500 companies than anywhere else, and yet it has among the world’s highest corporate tax rate.
What gives?
The answer is you can’t believe everything you read. What the government wants companies to pay, and what they actually pay are often two different things. It’s a great big world out there, and money seeks out places where taxes are lowest.

Fisher Capital Management Corporate News – UK Economy: Private Sector Job Vacancies Drop By 2% In April Compared To March 2011 Says Reed
New analysis of vacanices in 8,000 employers reveal that job opportunities in the public sector has fallen by three points or 2% between March and April 2011, according to Reed recruitment agency.
The data reveals the drop in private sector vacancies was due to recruitment slow down in the banking and tourism sectors which saw a huge surge in recruitment in February. However, the 2% drop is still 22% higher than it was during the same period last year.
However, the job growth comes from increases in the engineering, customer services, estate agency, human resources, information technology and telecoms sectors. But there has been no growth in public sector job market.
Martin Warnes, Reed’s UK MD pointed out that April’s loss was expected due to the Easter holidays and the subsequent bank holiday for the Royal wedding.
“Clearly business growth has been sustained at a higher level than the last quarter of 2010, but continued recovery remains difficult to predict,” he added.
Fisher Capital Management Corporate News: Even Good Economic News Can’t Help the Greenback Now
Summer may be on its way and Osama bin Laden may be dead, but that doesn’t mean the sun is going to shine on the dollar.
Ben Bernanke made sure of that.
The Fed Chairman’s insistence last week that U.S. ultra-loose monetary policy is here to stay not only indicated his lack of confidence in the recovery but confirmed fears the U.S. Federal Reserve is falling behind the curve.
As a result, not even good news will help the U.S. currency now.
Bloomberg Ben Bernanke, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve.
Commerzbank hit the nail on the head when it noted that the euro reached its high against the dollar Monday after, not before, the publication of the latest manufacturing ISM, which came in above expectations. Surprise good economic news normally helps the dollar as it raises expectations of higher interest rates.
“This episode demonstrates: marginal news on the state of the U.S. economy does not matter at present,” the Commerzbank strategy team said.
This will probably become even more obvious as other major central banks, rather than the U.S., continue to point to higher interest rates.
The Reserve Bank of India kicked off the week with a surprise 50 basis point rate rise. With its manufacturing PMI steaming ahead, China is expected to accelerate its de facto tightening with a stronger yuan.
The Reserve Bank of Australia left its rates unchanged earlier Tuesday, but left markets in no doubt that more rate increases are on their way.
Closer to home, the European Central Bank is also expected to leave its rates unchanged later this week, but will more than likely give a signal of another rate rise in June.
As the Bundesbank’s brand new president Jens Weidmann wanted to make clear in his first public utterance Monday, he wants euro-zone policy to be “normalized”.
The Bank of England will also likely sit on its hands at its next policy meeting this week, but that doesn’t mean the debate over whether U.K. rates should rise is dead.
All this means that even good economic news will not save the dollar now.
The true test could well come on Friday with the latest unemployment numbers, data that traditionally should give the dollar direction.
But, if the Fed is saying no change is in sight, even strong non-farm payrolls won’t stop the dollar from floundering.
This whole “good news is bad news” theme was apparent as Osama bin Laden’s assassination by U.S. forces in Pakistan broke.
The initial euphoria that the al Qaeda leader is dead after a 10-year manhunt quickly turned sour as the risk of terrorist reprisals increased.
If that is the case, deteriorating risk sentiment in global markets may give the dollar a little support on the one hand.
But, with interest rate differentials likely to continue moving against the dollar, chances are that the U.S. dollar will extend the decline it has pursued all year, pushing steadily to new lows against other majors such as the euro.
Fisher Capital Management Corporate News: FSA guidelines will signal end of staff retention bonuses
The financial services sector will no longer be able to offer staff retention bonuses, as a result of new payment guidelines from the Financial Services Authority (FSA).New rules put forth by the FSA attempt to align pay and other staff rewards with jeopardy, so as to avoid a situation where employees are given lucrative incentives to engage in potentially risky activities.
Jon Terry, remuneration partner for PwC, explained that the FSA has effectively “introduced the world’s toughest pay rules to the UK financial services industry” and warned that firms must take steps to comply before the June 30th deadline.
He added that while some measures will be welcomed by workers, but bonus restrictions are likely to be less popular.
“The latest announcements will spell the end of guarantees for existing employees, which had been an important tool for firms to retain talent,” he explained.
Last week, expert Chris Welford told the magazine’s readers that more freedom in the workplace can boost staff retention, which could be an alternative strategy for firms.
