  • Prefabricated stand for hydronic systems
    Patent number: 8342419
    Abstract: A stand assembly for hydronic circulation systems includes a fixed back portion. A selectively movable platform portion is connected to the back portion. The stand assembly is selectively movable between a folded shipping position and an unfolded installation position by selectively moving the platform portion.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: January 1, 2013
    Inventors: Thomas O. Simensen, Torbjorn O. Simensen
  • Multi-line fluid conduit modules
    Patent number: 7661441
    Abstract: A modular manifold component for hydronic circulation systems includes a control conduit section adapted and constructed to receive any of a plurality of selectively actuatable fluid control mechanisms. The control conduit section has an inlet and an outlet. A return conduit section is secured to the control conduit section in fluid communication with the inlet of the control conduit section. A supply conduit section is secured to the control conduit section in fluid communication with the inlet of the control conduit section.

  • Modular manifold
    Patent number: 6345770
    Abstract: A modular manifold is adapted for use with hydronic circulation systems including a plurality of first and second thermal exchange zones having respective zone supply and zone return lines. The modular manifold includes a plurality of modules, each of which includes a selectively actuatable fluid control mechanism having an inlet and an outlet. The outlet of each selectively actuatable fluid control mechanism is in fluid communication with a respective zone supply line of the zone of the hydronic circulation system. Each module further includes a common return conduit section secured to the selectively actuatable fluid control mechanism. A common supply conduit section is secured to the selectively actuatable fluid control mechanism of each module. The common supply conduit section is in fluid communication with the inlet of the selectively actuatable fluid control mechanism.
