Innovative Heating, Waste and Water Treatment Solutions
Modular Oil and Gas Boilers: Steam Boilers, Hot Water Boilers and other Hydronic Heating Products
Triad manufactures modular hydronic heating systems that have proven to be substantially more efficient than traditional large boilers. Modular hot water and steam boilers fire-up much quicker than conventional systems, with less loss of heat, better meeting the heat requirement. Available options include steam boilers, gas boilers, oil boilers and combi boilers for virtually any radiant heating need.

Because of its straightforward design and rugged construction, our boilers can truly provide "Solutions For Investment Engineering".
Inspection procedures, based on ASME standards, are continually conducted by our team.
A fully certified outside inspection firm also monitors the process and inspects each hot water or steam boiler twice during the manufacturing process.
Our design restricts firetube expansion to less than 1/32 of an inch, virtually eliminating the adverse effects of thermal shock.
The Series 900 hot water and steam boilers are UL approved for Class B venting.
All fireside surfaces in TRIAD boilers are surrounded by water, eliminating high heat loss around the combustion chamber, and reducing wasted thermal transfer by up to 30%.
TRIAD provides a 10-year warranty against any pressure vessel leak and on the Series 900 a 20-year warranty against any pressure vessel leak caused by thermal shock.
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:
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.
Packaged Product
All TRIAD hot water boilers and steam boilers are fully assembled, packaged products, which offer several advantages over boilers that must be assembled at the jobsite.
Onsite labor costs are minimized
Quality control is higher at the factory than at the jobsite
The ease of installation of a packaged boiler allows for quicker start up.
Easy to Clean To maintain boiler efficiency, heating surfaces must be kept clean and free of combustion by-products. All TRIAD heating surfaces, especially the firetubes, are easy to access. It is impossible to clean all the heating surfaces of a cast iron boiler, and what can be reached is difficult to clean.
TRIAD also makes it easy to maintain clean water surfaces. The cleaning of the interior of a cast iron boiler is a major undertaking, and even then only the vertical surfaces can be cleaned. The inability to clean the horizontal surfaces can have a significant impact on operating efficiency.
Easy to Repair
Because of their steel construction, TRIAD hot water and steam boilers can be repaired in the field with minimal disruption. A leak can be permanently welded or the tubes re-rolled with little difficulty. It is impossible to permanently weld a cracked cast iron boiler section or a leaking copper fin-tube boiler. The firetubes are easily accessed through the top and through the firedoor.
Fast Water Circulation
Poor circulation of water within the typical cast iron boiler is very common due to their design limits, while TRIAD's steel hot water boilers provide for faster circulation.
Benefits of Steel Boilers All TRIAD boilers are constructed of steel, which has proven to be the optimum pressure-vessel material. Steel, as opposed to cast iron, can handle the stresses of combustion that reaches very high temperatures within seconds.
Steel allows for compact, efficient designs, with greater furnace volume, and more heat transfer surface within a given cubic space. The higher rate of heat transmission from steel results in a much more efficient system.
Benefits of Modularity
Triad manufactures modular hydronic heating systems that have proven to be substantially more efficient than traditional large boilers. Modular hot water and steam boilers fire-up much quicker than conventional systems, with less loss of heat, better meeting the heat requirement. Available options include steam boilers, gas boilers, oil boilers and combi boilers for virtually any radiant heating need.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.
Why are modular Triad’s a better choice than a single large boiler? 1) Redundancy – which means if one boiler goes down, there are others to back it up. With only one boiler, you will be out of heat. 2) Seasonal Efficiency – which means that during a less cold spring day, just one small modular boiler could handle the load, which is much less costly than heating up a big oversized boiler that was originally chosen so it could handle the coldest day of the year. 3) Hybrid System – this means you have a mix of Triumph condensing boilers with Triad traditional efficiency boilers. On a less cold day, the higher efficiency condensing boiler will handle the load, yet on a colder day the Triad steel boilers will be more efficient at handling the load. On cold starts, when the system wants to condense, the Triumph high efficiency will be used to bring the system up to the comfort level, and will then drop off, and let the Triad steel boilers take over to maintain heat for rest of the day.
