Unique Application of Wanpan Hydronic Heating System

31 Aug

At the point of wide variety of applications Wanpan hydronic baseboard heating system is very unique and truly exceptional. 

Even in a ship, which operates as a short route ferry, there are times when heating has to be turned on. Especially, if country is located in the North Hemisphere. 

Every each square foot needs to be efficiently utilized and there is not a big selection of heating systems, which could be installed in such kind of a vessel.

In this case, Wanpan – hydronic skirting board heating system is the most suitable. Slim and compact heating panels do not take additional space and easily flow into the design of the ship. Travelers enjoy the trip while being surrounded by thermal encirclement of cozy heat.

Carpet Flooring and Elpan/Wanpan Ultimate Radiant Heating System

20 Jul

It is necessary to install the ultimate heating system, when going green and energy efficient, especially, if chosing carpet flooring. Recently, manufacturers are making thin carpet with a low pile and suggesting it to be used with any heating system, even infloor/underfloor heating systems. However, if heated floor of entire room are covered and heat has to pass through any additional layer (such as carpet), heating efficiency is affected significantly.

Conductivity of carpet is extremly low. Even if the surface of the floor (under the carpet) is heated to the max it will be very difficult to heat the room. In this case, Radiant Heating becomes Conductive Heating, which is one of the most unefficient ways to heat premises.

Energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan skirting board radiant heating system is absolutely suitable, when it comes to carpeted floor. The modular heating panels of Elpan/Wanpan ultimate radiant heating system are installed 0.5 inch from the floor level, so carpet may by layed just under the skirting board so ventilation holes stay uncovered.

Energy Consumption and Wood Flooring

30 Jun

A signifficant amount of heating energy could be lost when transfering heat through other objects and especially – wood. The thermal conductivity of wood is very low, compearing with metals. Wood -based materials as loose fill, flexible batts or rigid panels are used for Thermal or Sound Insulation.

Because of these scientific facts, it is not a very good idea to install wood floor and infloor/underfloor heating system while seeking to have energy efficient heating. Energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan skirting board radiant heating system has no limitations at this point and any type of flooring works perfectly fine.

The thermal conductivity of structural softwood lumber at 12% moisture is about 1500 times lower than thermal conductivity of aluminum.

Front plates of Wanpan modular heating panels are made of aluminum. The structure of hydronic Wanpan skirting board heating system allows radiant heat to flow through aluminum plates into the room without the additional energy consumption, which would be needed to transfer heat through the wood floor. Copper pipes mounted behind the aluminum front plates of Wanpan baseboard modular panels complete the concept of this ultimate heating system.
