| Underfloor heating system only 4 mm thick  The patented heating system from Thermal Technology only 4 mm thick is available in standard modules or in various customised powers and shapes up to a max. area of 25 sqm. Thermal radiation means exchanging heat using infrared waves as heat transmitters. In fact, two bodies or objects with different temperatures naturally exchange radiations, and the heat flow tends to go from the warmer to the colder body. The radiation emitted in a room by an underfloor heating system turns into heat when it comes into contact with an object, a wall or a person. Infrared waves are not absorbed by air but rather by solids, which turn them into heat. Heat is then transmitted to the room for occupants to enjoy optimal heatingcomfort. An underfloor heating system is healthy as it does not cause movements, eliminating in this way the temperature gaps between adjacent rooms and dust circulation. Underfloor heating guarantees the best comfort and compliance with today's legal requirements which permit a maximum floor surface temperature of 28°C. Thermal Technology's floor heating systems - as confirmed by the tests and related report issued by the IUAV University of Venice offer a further plus: "An average radiation temperature of about 21°C allows air temperature to be maintained below 20°C, i.e. lower than the temperature typically reached by traditional heating systems. This in turn enables the difference between the inside and outside temperature to be minimilised and therefore reduces heat loss. The studied thermal radiation system also guarantees an air temperature gap between floor and ceiling of about 1.5°C: this extremely low value helps prevent localised discomfort due to excessively high temperature gradients between the occupants' heads and ankles". Ideal for all building types including family houses, blocks of flats, schools, hospitals, shops and stores, both for new buildings and for renovations (even of single rooms). The Genius Carbon low-temperature system is easily adapted for all uses. Heating panels are incorporated in the floor so that the walls are freed of cumbersome radiators and more room is made for the furniture to be arranged free from constraints. write your comments about the article :: © 2011 Construction News :: home page |
