Outdoor reset is a simple concept that maximizes the efficiency of your hydronic heating system. Outdoor reset is a key part of all high efficiency boilers. Today's condensing, modulating boilers use outdoor reset to produce heat at the level needed due to outdoor conditions.
High efficiency natural gas and propane boilers can modulate their heat level to meet the heating needs of the 
home. When it is colder outside, a high efficiency boiler sends water to the radiators at higher temperatures than when it is warmer outside. This higher temperature water provides more heat to the house to offset the additional heat lost to the outdoors.
home. When it is colder outside, a high efficiency boiler sends water to the radiators at higher temperatures than when it is warmer outside. This higher temperature water provides more heat to the house to offset the additional heat lost to the outdoors.
As the temperature rises the boiler sends water to the house at lower temperatures and then lower temperature water returns to the boiler. When the temperature of the returning water is below 130 F the boiler is able to condense. This condensing greatly increases the efficiency of the boiler.
Installing outdoor reset is rather simple. An outdoor sensor must be installed in a proper location and then wired to the boiler. Many modern boilers such as Triangle Tube's Prestige Condensing Boiler with TriMax Control recognize that the sensor is connected.
Triangle Tube specializes in high efficiency boilers, such as the Prestige models and the Challenger Solo and Challenger Combination Boilers. For more information, contact your local factory trained contractor.
