Customizable modular hydronic system

A customizable, modular, hydronic system adapted for use in heating or cooling an interior area, the system comprising:

• at least one modular base unit comprising at least one heat exchanger and a frame, said at least one modular base unit adapted for use aligned with one or more other such modular base units as part of the system comprising a first and a last at least one modular base unit, wherein each said at least one modular base unit further comprises an internal inlet pipe and an internal outlet pipe connected to the at least one internal heat exchanger within the frame, each said at least one modular base unit being adapted for retaining hydronic fluid in the at least one internal heat exchanger;
• wherein the at least one modular base unit is adapted to be implemented in an installation of an aligned plurality of such at least one modular base units that is any of:
• completely recessed between wall studs of the interior area,
• partially recessed between the wall studs of the interior area, and
• not recessed between the wall studs of the interior area,
• piping adapted for:
• interconnecting the internal inlet pipe of the at least one modular base unit to the system, and
• interconnecting the internal outlet pipe of the at least one modular base unit to the system,
• adaptable to be expandable to meet increased heating and cooling needs of the interior area;
• and
• a modular contiguous-and-singular-appearing unitary cover member comprising at least one modular face cover member portion per modular base unit and a periphery, wherein said modular contiguous-and-singular-appearing unitary cover member covers the aligned plurality of modular base units and said piping, and wherein said modular contiguous-and-singular-appearing unitary cover member is adapted to be readily detachably secured to the system and at least partially visibly presented to occupants of the interior area.

A customizable, modular, hydronic system adapted for installation and use at least partially within an interior area to be heated or cooled, and adapted for use with other connected hydronic components, the system comprising:

• first and second modular base units, each said first and second modular base unit comprising at least one internal heat exchanger comprising an internal inlet pipe and an internal outlet pipe within a modular base unit frame adapted for being one of completely recessed in a wall of the interior area between studs, partially recessed in the wall of the interior area between the studs, and not recessed in the wall of the interior area, said first and second modular base units being adapted for retaining heated, or alternatively cooled, hydronic fluid in each at least one internal heat exchanger, wherein the internal outlet pipe of the at least one heat exchanger of said first modular base unit is designed to be interconnected with the internal inlet pipe of the at least one internal heat exchanger of said second modular base unit by interconnecting piping, wherein said first and second modular base units comprise an aligned plurality of modular base units, the system thus being readily adaptable for expansion from like supplies to meet increased heating and cooling needs of any of a number of different interior areas by successive repeated implementation of said first and second modular base units;
• and
• first and second modular face cover members adapted to be readily detachably secured to each respective said first and second modular base units, wherein each of said first and second modular face cover members comprises a peripheral edge, wherein said first modular face cover member is designed to be adapted for use with said second modular face cover member, singularly, and in combination with each other, to form a modular contiguous-and-singular-appearing unitary cover member readily detachably secured to said first and second modular base units, the modular contiguous-and-singular-appearing unitary cover member appearing as a singular coherent design, the modular contiguous-and-singular-appearing unitary cover member being at least partially visibly presented to occupants of the interior area and adapted to be readily customized from like supplies, and wherein the modular contiguous-and-singular-appearing unitary cover member is also adapted to be readily re-customized from like supplies to achieve an alternative aesthetic design that appears visually and aesthetically singular, unitary, and contiguous.
