    Abstract: A heat management system is capable of managing unlimited hydronic heat sources and unlimited heating zones, each located within a desired area and each controlled by temperature sensors. The system uses plural system heating sources to heat a heating solution (preferable glycol-based) that is either heated directly or through a liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The heating solution is passed through various plumbing configurations to heat domestic water for users and to heat zones or areas in which user will live. The heat management system of the invention may be used for several applications including RV, marine and home hot water and heating applications.
