Featured HeatSponge News

We decided to start a new area to let our customers and representatives know what is new and exciting at Boilerroom Equipment Inc. We will also feature selected orders and shipments that are unique or exciting.

AHR EXPOSITION 2010: I believe any doubts were put to rest. Boilerroom Equipment has clearly established itself as the premier boiler economizer manufacturer in the United States and most probably the world at this point. Our innovative products and business processes are clearly a generation beyond anything else that any other manufacturer currently offers. We could not be where we are at without the support and partnership of our customers, representatives, and vendors. From all of us we offer our most sincere thanks as no one person or company can accomplish this on their own. Just wait until you see what 2010 will be for all of us. Hold onto your hats ladies and gentlemen you have no idea what we are going to do this year! Click here to go to the ASHRAE 2010 page.


AHR EXPOSITION 2010 INFORMATION: To everyone attending the upcoming ASHRAE show in Orlando this January be sure to stop by our booth. BEI will have a number of units on display including BOSS, SHORTY, and SIDEKICK model economizers. We had to expand to a 23' X 30' island to accomodate the additional show units. We will also have our 2010 NASCAR Late Model stock car on display again.

UPDATE: The car just arrived at the show and it looks awesome. You won't be able to miss our booth.

BRUCE NEWS - December 2009: Bruce's data input pages for both the conventional HeatSponges and Sidekicks has been upgraded and are now much more clear and easy to use.

BRUCE "SECRET R&D" NEWS - December 2009 the HeatSponge SIDEKICK, Finally Revealed!!!!!!!!: Boilerroom Equipment, Inc, is very proud (after months of delay) to finally unveil the SIDEKICK line of condensing boiler economizers for commercial and industrial hot water boilers. The Sidekick has been in development for nearly two years and represents an evolutionary development of high-efficiency installations in the boiler industry. The SIDEKICK is a game changer the likes of which have not been experienced since the introduction of the first condensing boilers. The SIDEKICK offers the ability to integrate condensing boiler efficiencies to conventional boilers on a new or retrofit basis. The SIDEKICK allows a customer with a conventional boiler system the ability to realize condensing efficiency gains that otherwise would require the existing boiler to be demolished and replaced with a new condensing boiler. Conventional, non-condensing boilers can now realize the efficiency benefits of outdoor air temperature reset controls and lower circulating hot water loop temperatures. Sidekicks also allow for duel fuel condensing applications utilizing conventional boilers. The SIDEKICK features all stainless internal construction, stainless tubes and fins, and an insulated outer casing. Inspection and clean out ports make periodic maintenance and cleaning easy.

The efficiency of the SIDEKICK goes far beyond simply energy recovery to the ultra-productive process in which it is selected and designed. Heat recovery for condensing applications introduces a significant number of variables that makes a catalog-approach to equipment selection nearly impossible. Boilerroom Equipment has developed a new method of quantifying heat recovery, the Recovery Rate, and integrated this into the design. The incorporation of the Recovery Rate variable allows a customer to custom tailor the level of heat recovery and cost directly to the requirements of each specific application. We define this new concept in heat recovery design as 3D Modularity, for modular construction in three dimensions. Based on a "Mass-Customization" approach to product development, Bruce will consider all of the application design constraints and will design a SIDEKICK optimized to meet the exact performance requirements at the most competitive price. Bruce has been given the ability to consider all aspects of the heat exchanger design relative to the price of the equipment and generate a fully priced proposal all in real-time; a software and engineering accomplishment that added over one thousand hours of coding and heat transfer modification to Bruce's core program. This means Bruce can handle all inquiries and generate proposals in real time by himself. The near elimination of sales and support overhead and significantly reduced project execution overhead requirements the Bruce software provides allows us to offer a product superior to any before it at pricing and responsiveness levels no conventional competitor could hope to match.

Bruce will go on-line live on Monday December 21st with full public access to the Sidekick software. BEI will display the SIDEKICK in public at the upcoming AHR Exposition in Orlando, booth 3126. We will also have other HeatSponge models on display and based on the popularity in Chicago last year will bring the HeatSponge NASCAR Late Model stock car back for another display appearance.

BRUCE "SECRET R&D" NEWS - October 2009 UPDATE: OK, OK, we know it is taking us longer to bring this into the open than we had been planning but we are fortunate to be quite busy with all of your orders, thank you. Understandably fulfilling orders supersedes new product development work and we are very fortunate to have had an outstanding year. All of the technical work is complete and the design is proven, we are just finalizing the commercial support information, we will not make the product publically available until all of the support work is 100% complete. We will make our formal unveiling at ASHRAE 2010 in Orlando.

NEW REP - September 2009: We are pleased to announce the addition of Applied Energy as our exclusive representative in Western Ontario.

BRUCE NEWS - August 2009: Bruce has been trained to do preliminary calculations and estimating for wet steam accumulators. Although not technically a HeatSponge most people know us as HeatSponge and not Boilerroom Equipment, Inc. which is the company's name. Because of the high level of engineering Bruce does not provide firm pricing but will display sizing and performance information. bruce also does all of our behind the scenes engineering so if a customer is interested in an accumulator the majority of the work on our end is already completed and we just need to generate a detailed pricing. You may use the accumulator selection tool by clicking this link.

NEW REP - August 2009: We are pleased to announce the addition of McCain Engineering as our exclusive representative in Alabama and Mississippi.

BRUCE NEWS - June 2009: Bruce has been quite busy lately. We are pleased to announce a new feature in the Bruce software, Side Discharges. This new option for all rectangular HeatSponges allows for the flue gas to enter the bottom on the unit in a conventional vertical installation however the gas can discharge from the side of the unit. This is an ideal feture when the existing ductwork as a 90 degree elbow to contend with. Bruce has been trained and can incorporate this feature into all new proposals.

BRUCE "SECRET R&D" NEWS - June 2009 UPDATE: All engineering software is complete. We are finalizing the commercial support information. This unit is SWEET, the initial representatives we have made the unit accessible to on a BETA basis have all been floored by the combination of performance, functionality, and pricing. Tieing the entire package together is Bruce's revolutionary rating system that for the first time designs then optimizes the economizer from scratch in all three dimensions.

BRUCE "SECRET R&D" NEWS - June 2009: We have another huge new product offering coming. Based on feedback from our customers we have been quietly working on the development of an entirely new type of economizer targeted specifically to the commercial boiler market that will revolutionize heat recovery. We will let the cat out of the bag in July, stay tuned!

BRUCE NEWS - June 2009: We are pleased to announce the development of new Effectiveness calculations that are now provided on all HeatSponge proposals. We are often asked the question of how changes in heat recovery impact equipment sizing. Heat recovery is a function of many variables and it can be difficult for some users to understand that the relationship between energy recovery and heating surface area is not linear and often is significantly exponential. The Effectiveness calculations detail the relationship between unit size and energy recovery.

NEW REP - October 2008: We are pleased to announce the addition of Engineered Energy Equipment. as our exclusive representative in Central and Southern Florida.

BRUCE NEWS - October 2008: HUGE NEWS - PART 2 !! In what is perhaps Bruce's single largest upgrade since his creation we now offer Two-Stage economizers. Efforts gearded towards creating a super-high efficiency boiler have been focused on two-stage heat recovery. These units are designed to heat two seperate water streams in a common economizer casing. For example a Two-Stage HeatSponge could heat boiler feedwater in the First Stage and use the energy still left in the flue gas to heat a second stream of make-up water, process water, or some other water stream. Because of the strong probability of condensing all Two-Stage units are supplied with stainless steel tubes as a standard. Depending on the heat-sink available efficiency increases of 7% to even 10% are possible. Bruce has been trained and he is ready to quote two-stage units today. It will take Bruce a few weeks or so to get all of the new piping diagrams and unit cut sheets into his system so he asks for a little patience. This product will allow any boiler to compete heads-up with the new generation of boilers on their way that feature two-stage heat recovery to achieve their efficiency claims.

BRUCE NEWS - October 2008: HUGE NEWS - PART 1 !! After a year of research and development we are very proud to announce the official release of the next generation SHORTY economizer. Codenamed the SHORTY-SQUARED this unit features a patent-pending industry first replacable helical coil. The era of the non-repairable coiled economizer is over. All SHORTY economizers will maintain their industry-leading stainless steel construction. All HeatSponge economizers are now repairable in place. Give us a little time to get the new cut sheets into the system, we have been really busy lately.

NEW REP - September 2008: We are pleased to announce the addition of Bradley Sciocchetti, Inc. as our exclusive representative in Eastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey

BRUCE NEWS - September 2008: Bruce now provides the ability to recall performance for previously run proposals. Each proposal will now be supplied with a unique password that will allow you to recall the performance from that proposal to make rerating the unit easy.

ACCELERATED SHIPMENT - December 2007 - One (1) TITAN HeatSponge: When presented with an opportunity to obtain an order in a tight shipping window to meet a Christmas outage BEI did what it took to honor it's committment and ship a large TITAN in half the time it would normally take. This unit is installed on an industrial watertube boiler.

ACCELERATED SHIPMENT - November 2007 - Two (2) BOSS HeatSponges: To support a Thanksgiving outage we were able to accelerate the sheduled shipdate by three weeks of a pair of BOSS 'Sponges for our customer.

BRUCE NEWS - November 2007: What is perhaps the biggest evolution for Bruce is his ability to generate complete proposal packages and email them to his clients. Bruce can recommend and total options, create a proposal letter, and send it to the customer. At the rate he is learing we are wondering when Bruce is going to start bothering us for a raise.
