Abstract
A prefabricated, self-supporting, modular radiating panel with a sandwich structure comprises a layer of plasterboard and a layer of heat-insulating material. The plasterboard layer incorporates, internally, several continuous pipes which are designed to form independent hydraulic circuits and the end portions of which emerge all along a same edge of the panel. The independent hydraulic circuits are each housed in adjacent modular zones of the panel, the zones being separable from one another so as to provide panel parts of different sizes in a modular manner.

A prefabricated, rectangular, self-supporting, radiating panel (P) comprising two opposite long sides and two opposite short sides and comprising a sandwich structure formed by a one-piece layer of plasterboard (1) and a layer of heat-insulating material (2), said plasterboard layer (1) incorporating, internally, pipes (3) for a working fluid, end portions of said pipes emerging from a side of the panel, a plurality of said pipes (3) being each housed in cavities arranged in a coiled outline on the side of the plasterboard next to said heat-insulating material (2) and in adjacent modular zones (6) of the panel and each pipe forming an independent hydraulic circuit, said zones (6) being rectangular and comprising two opposite short sides and two opposite long sides parallel to said short sides of said panel, said panel being a single, stand-alone panel, said zones (6) being separable from one another so as to provide panel parts of different sizes.
A method for manufacturing a radiating panel comprising, during manufacture, the steps in succession of:
- a) milling plural cavities (7) on one side of a single plasterboard panel (1);
- b) inserting pipes (3) into said cavities (7);
- and
- c) gluing directly onto the plasterboard on the abovementioned side of the panel a layer (2) of heat insulating material.
