Abstract
A hydronic room heating device in the form of a baseboard heating panel of air entrained concrete with concrete radiating fins molded on the back of the panel with an upper concrete heating element section positioned to allow air flow past the fins upwardly and out through the opening between the upper element and the panel using low temperature heated water from solar heated systems.
Claims14
A hydronic room heating device for a room having a floor and walls;
- (a) a heat radiating panel constructed of a cementous compound,
- (b) air radiating means constructed of the cementous compound comprising fins in unitary construction with and in heat conduction relationship with the heat radiating panel the fins being in vertical alignment with troughs between the fins opening downwardly below the panel and upwardly above the panel with the fins facing a wall and positioned to receive air flowing past the air radiating means and heat the air flowing into the room,
- (c) holding means to hold the panel above the floor, and
- (d) transport piping means embedded in the panel to carry heated liquid in conduits through the panel and conduct heat to the panel.
1 more element
A hydronic room heating device, wherein the room has a floor and walls, comprising:
- (a) a heat radiating panel constructed of a cementous compound,
- (b) heat radiating means comprising heat radiating fins in unitary construction with and in heat conduction relationship with the radiating panel wherein the fins are positioned on a back side of the panel in vertical alignment with troughs between the fins opening downwardly below the panel and upwardly above the panel to radiate heat to air the flowing by convection past the radiating means, and
- (c) an upper radiating element connected to the panel positioned horizontally above a top of the panel and leaving a space between the top of the panel and the bottom of the upper element with the space opening the front of the panel to the top of the heat radiating means allowing the air convection to flow out of the space toward the front of the panel.
