Radiant, another level.
How would the heating/cooling system in your home improve?
Closed hydronic circuit
In a radiant system, water circulates within a closed circuit. This can be shared with the heat pump, but it is highly recommended to equip the system with a storage tank to separate the circulation of the heat pump from the rest of the circuit.
This will help keep the circuit clean at all times and significantly reduce the frequent on/off cycles of the heat pump.
Radiant climate control works through thermal exchange, acting directly on bodies and objects rather than on the air, as traditional radiator systems do.
This means that if a warm radiant ceiling heats the space during winter, the same cooled ceiling will provide climate control during summer.
The radiant system operates at temperatures approximately half those of traditional systems.
35°/40°C for heating and 12°/18°C for cooling.
It is clear that this results in significant energy savings.
Radiant systems are integrated into the ceiling and, if necessary, in some walls. Therefore, radiators or other visible elements are no longer needed, leaving the walls completely free.
Water circulation is ensured by pumps positioned at the source, making the entire system perfectly silent.
The radiant principle consists of the "projection" of heat or cooling onto all intercepting surfaces. Thermal waves pass through the air without heating it and settle on solid surfaces, including human bodies, releasing heat.
The heated surfaces then warm the air through thermal exchange (rather than convection, as occurs with radiators), preventing upward air currents and harmful dust movements.
Radiant heating and cooling require service temperatures that are 50% lower than traditional systems.
With the radiant system, energy consumption is drastically reduced, allowing significant cost savings and making a substantial contribution to environmental protection.
