In radiant floor, wall and/or ceiling hydronic heating and/or cooling systems using metal radiation plates that are heated or cooled by attached tubing that is fed hot or cold water, where the system includes a plurality of aligned modular heating and/or cooling panels attached to the floor, wall and ceiling, each panel containing a metal radiation plate and each holds a length of the same tubing, the tubing being inserted into an accommodation in the panel and held therein in intimate thermal contact with the plate, and the assembly of panels with tubing inserted is covered with a finished floor, wall or ceiling and then hot water for heating or cold water for cooling is fed to the tubing, a thermal barrier is provided between the panels and the finished floor, wall or ceiling to: diminish or eliminate "hot spots" in the surface of the finished flooring, wall covering and ceiling covering during heating and "cold spots" during cooling; avoid condensation during cooling; and improve performance.
A hydronic heating system having a source of hot supply water and a reservoir of cooler return water, a supply water line from said source, a return water line to said reservoir and one or more heating loops through which water flows from said supply line to said return line, said heating loop including a heating element that is a length of tubing that conducts water from said supply line to said return line and said length of tubing is mounted in a floor, wall or ceiling of a room heated by said system by RFH, RWH or RCH, respectively, of said room, the improvement comprising:
A hydronic cooling system having a source of cold supply water and a reservoir or warmer return water, a supply water line from said source, a return water line to said reservoir and one or more cooling loops through which water flows from said supply line to said return line, said cooling loop including a cooling element that is a length of tubing that conducts water from said supply line to said return line and said length of tubing is mounted in a floor, wall or ceiling of a room cooled by said system by RFC, RWC or RCC, respectively, the improvement comprising:
In a hydronic heating system having a source of supply water that may be hot for heating or cold for cooling and a reservoir of return water that may be less hot for heating or less cold for cooling, a supply water line from said source, a return water line to said reservoir and one or more heating loops for heating or cooling loops for cooling through which water flows from said supply line to said return line, said loop including an element that is a length of tubing that conducts water from said supply line to said return line and said length of tubing is mounted in a floor, wall or ceiling of a room that is heated or cooled by said system by RFH or RFC or RWH or RWC or RCFH or RCC, the improvement comprising:
In a hydronic heating system for heating and cooling a room having a source of hot supply water and a reservoir of cooler return water, a supply water line from said source, a return water line to said reservoir and one or more loops through which water flows from said supply line to said return line for heating or cooling said room, said loop including an element that is a length of tubing that conducts water from said supply line to said return line and a radiation plate mounted in the floor, wall or ceiling of the room for RFH, RFC, RWH, RWC, RCH and, respectively, the method of installing said system including the steps:
