    Heat Exchangers - recognize these???

    Any have any information on the Heat Exchangers shown in the photo's below? They just look very different from the one's I'm used to seeing, they are more angular, smooth and appear to be heavy Stainless Steel.

    What about exhaust shown in the last pic?

    Any info appreciated!

    Steampunk heat exchangers.

    Built in the early 1900's.

    Thanks Frank, that explains why they look way cooler through these:

    Tri-something from the 80's? I think the guy who built them lived in Phoenix.
    Before SSI entered the market.


    As you can imagine they kind of rained on his parade.

    OK, sounds plausible and ya, if he was hand fabricating these (as it looks) I can see how SSI kinda stole his market.

    The craftsmanship seems to be of pretty high quality and there's enough stainless there to survive an A-bomb blast at least...

    Any value to them? Nostalgia?


    What about the exhaust?

    Extractor is a Bursch.

    There's certainly value to the heater boxes but only from a utilitarian standpoint. Wrong audience here. Try the bird.

    There was an outfit in the 70s maybe early 80s Triad Industries...those look sorta like old Triads.
    Extractor is definately Bursch.....or Bursch knock off, there were some.
