Steam Versus Hot Water

Our June poll asked whether or not all boilers produce steam. The answer is "no". Many boilers today produce hot water which is much safer than steam boilers and does not have to be monitored 24/7. Instead of steam producing the heat which is sent through pipes and radiators, hot water is used.  The hot water travels through the building and coils where air moves across these coils and carries the heat down duct work to rooms.  It is a much safer system and easier to maintain.

I didn't realize boilers that produce steam were so much more dangerous than ones that don't. That really good advice from a janitorial company that I wouldn't have thought of! Thanks for all the interesting posts like this one, I think maintaining a safe and clean building is important work. http://www.alexandrafacility.com
