![]() ![]() Since convectional losses are minimal in Water Radiant panels, radiant efficiency is much higher than alternative systems. Radiant efficiency is the value that expresses the rate at which the transferred heat is transferred by radiation. Contrary to alternative systems, Water Radiant panels can operate at very low water temperatures, so the condensation efficiency can be utilized to the maximum, and therefore the combustion efficiency of Water Radiant panels is considerably higher than alternative systems. The main factors that make Water Radiant panels more efficient than alternative systems are combustion efficiency, radiant efficiency and control efficiency. The thermal efficiency of a radiant system is the sum of the combustion efficiency, thermal efficiency, radiant efficiency, control efficiency, and design efficiency. None of these disadvantages mentioned for blown heating apply to Water Radiant panels. And therefore, it causes low efficiency and high energy consumption. This causes the leaving water temperature of the heat generator not to be lowered below a certain value, even if it is not needed. ![]() However, if the blowing temperature drops below a certain value in blown heating, even if the blown air temperature is above the ambient temperature, it may create a feeling of cooling instead of warming. Since air movement will cause especially particle and dust movement, it impairs the quality of the ambient air and may create an unhealthy environment. In blown systems, there is a continuous air movement and noise in the environment. This again causes discomfort and additional energy consumption. Another disadvantage of air heating is that due to the density difference of the heated air, it clusters at the leak points (doors, windows, etc.) in the space and creates an inhomogeneous heat distribution. While this situation creates discomfort in heating, it also increases the temperature of the areas that are not wanted to be heated, increases heat losses and leads to energy wastage. In buildings with high ceilings, the areas that are undesirable to be heated (under-ceiling area) reach higher temperatures due to the thermal stratification effect, while the area to be heated (working area) remains at lower temperatures. In addition, heating the air can lead to additional energy consumption and discomfort in many cases. On the contrary, Water Radiant heating creates a more natural warming feeling as it is a small simulation of the heating of the sun. In order to provide comfortable heating, it is not necessary to heat the large air mass in which people or objects are located. ![]()
