Radiant heating panel

A radiant heating panel comprising an elongated aluminum extrusion and a non-metallic pipe,

• said extrusion comprising an elongated face plate and an integral tube positioned parallel to said elongated face plate;
• said face plate adapted to radiate sensible heat from said extrusion to a space sought to be heated;
• said non-metallic pipe defining an external diameter and an external surface, said non-metallic pipe adapted to carry a heated fluid from an external heat source to said panel;
• said integral tube including a pair of elongated projections extending longitudinally along the external surface of said integral tube, said projections releasably engaging complementary clips of a mounting bracket to releasably affix said panel at the desired location;
• said integral tube having a cylindrical opening defining an internal diameter and an internal surface, said integral tube adapted to receive said non-metallic pipe;
• said non-metallic pipe positioned within said integral tube, said external diameter of said non-metallic pipe closely matching said internal diameter of said integral tube and said outer surface of said non-metallic pipe contacts said inner surface of said integral tube whereby air gaps between said non-metallic pipe and said integral tube are minimized, and the heat transfer from said non-metallic pipe to said integral tube is maximized.
