AdvantagesWhen filled with water, the panels only weigh .5 lb/ft2 (2.5 kg/m2) and do not affect the design of the ceiling element construction. Insulating the panels on the side facing away from the room focuses all the energy into the desired area and maxizmizes the efficiency of the system. Depending on their design, the pipe grids are connected by means of heat fusion or by pushfit couplings, and connected to the cooling- and heating water circuits.Advantages:
The effect of the aquatherm-climasystems is to heat or cool the surface of a wall or ceiling that it is installed behind by a few degrees below or above the ambient temperature. By radiation exchange with the surfaces, temperatures of the room and furnishings change. The heat transfer rate is determined by the difference between ambient temperature and average surface temperature. A high graduated equals a high rate of heat transfer. Controls can be set up to regulate this rate of transfer, but in most cases, a very low temperature gradiant is suitable for climate control, allowing the system to run off efficienct energy sources such as solar and ground source heating and cooling. |
