Radiant Heating: In the strict sense, the term radiant heating applied to a system in which the effective heat
that radiated from the panels to the surroundig surfaces; but in a broader sense, it is used
-equently in the heating industry to include also )-called panel heating, in which the heat is trans-litted by convection of air as well as by radia-on to other surfaces.
RADIANT HEATING, a heating system i which heat is provided by panels embedded in, r installed just behind, room ceilings, walls, or oors. These panels consist generally of warm-rater piping, warm-air ducts, or low-temperature lectrical resistance elements. They extend over datively large areas and operate at a surface anperature of 80° to 125°F. Advantages claimed re clean, uniform heating, concealment of units, nd freer floor space. |
