Radiant Pipe System
- Radiant heating is hardly a new technology.
- Radiant heating systems provide heat on the basis of low heating surface temperatures over a large area and an even air temperature distribution with mild, comfortable radiated energy.
- In contrast to conventional forced-air systems, a radiative equilibrium is generated between people and the surfaces throughout the room, more closely achieving the optimum thermal comfort level for occupants.
- Radiant heating and cooling systems can be used in commercial, residential, education, and recreational buildings, museums, hospitals, and other type of buildings.
Diameter of Radiant pipe is 20 mm
Length of pipe is 12 m

Gauge pressure: - It used to
measure the water pressure under pipe
Maintain
temperature 60-70 psi, (pounds per

What Makes Radiant Heating Ideal for Human
Comfort?
Science shows that heat emission from the human body occurs mainly via three mechanisms: radiation, evaporation and convection. Humans feel most comfortable when they can regulate at least 50% of their heat emission via radiation, and when their feet are warmer than their heads.

How it Works
- Traditional heating systems only heat the air in a room, and usually with air that's been warmed with a furnace and forced through vents.
- But forced air often produces uneven room temperatures and can carry allergens and contaminants, making a potentially unhealthy and uncomfortable environment.
Radiant heating is
quiet, clean and economical.
The system works by circulating warm water through a network of polymer pipes placed in the floor, wall or ceiling. Heat gently radiates from the panel, evenly and consistently warming the surfaces, objects and air to create a comfortable environment.
A variety of heat sources can be used to warm the water for a radiant system, including boilers, geothermal heat pumps, solar collection systems and water heat.

Advantages:
Increased Comfort
A radiant heating system keeps floors warm and dry, making hard surface flooring more comfortable.
Energy Efficient
Because of its exceptional comfort at relatively low operating temperatures, radiant heating is very energy efficient. Optimizing the radiant panel design using strategies such as room-by-room zoning can add to your energy savings. Radiant heating can be the primary heat source or serve in combination with auxiliary heating systems, and can be installed almost anywhere heat is needed.
Enhanced Control
it’s easy to zone a radiant heating system using multiple thermostats. This allows you to adjust temperatures in a single room or a group of rooms, based on activity and usage levels.

Flexibility
Radiant pipe heating can be used in floors, walls and ceilings and can be installed in a single room or throughout your home or building. There are no heaters, radiators or vents, so you'll have more design freedom and open space. Radiant heating is ideal for open floor plans, especially in areas with high ceilings.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Radiant pipe heating allows a thermostat to be set up to 4ºF (2ºC) degrees lower than with a traditional hot air system without sacrificing comfort. Lower operating temperatures reduce fuel consumption, which can save up to 30% per year in heating expenses. And since radiant heating can be used with a variety of heat sources including geothermal heat pumps, solar collection systems and condensing boiler technology, you can acheive even further savings.
