Elpan/Wanpan Baseboard Heating – No Heating Losses Through the Walls

Elpan/Wanpan baseboard heating – no heating losses through the walls. One of the main goals of producers, installers and users –  to keep heating system operating the Click to enlargemost efficiently regardless of it’s construction. Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating systems are engineered to eliminate any heating losses through the wall.

The heat source, in other words, any type of heating equipment ( traditional radiator, infloor heating system, regular baseboard heater ) is radiating heat away from the heated surface into all directions evenly. When heat is radiating into undesirable direction from the surface of the heat source, the most reliable and appropriate insullation must be installed.

To avoid heat losses through the wall,  a sticky reflecting foil tape has to be placed at the location of Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating system around the perimeter of the room. Having reflecting foil, installed behind heating panels, heating losses through the wall are eliminated and all radiant heat is directed toward the center of the room. 

The installation of the reflecting foil tape is easy and simple. It takes only few moments to attach it onto the surface of the wall. Reflecting foil plays a huge role while presenting Elpan/Wanpan heating system as perfectly engineered and one of the most energy efficient skirting board heating systems, which has no heating losses through the wall.

Electric Elpan Modular Heating Panels Mounted onto Furniture

When mounted onto furniture, electric Elpan modular heating panels allow kitchen or storage area to be heated as usual and to keep all content inside the cabinets not affected click to enlargeby higher temperatures. Instead, having infloor or underfloor heating system, installed in such area, all items, stored in cabinets (food, water suplies, pet food, chemicals, etc.) would be affected by an additional heat exposure coming from the floor level.

Kitchen or storage room has at least one or two walls, blocked with permanent cabinets or big pieces of furniture to be used for various purposes. If there is no option to install regular radiators or baseboard heaters, it looks like infloor heating or underfloor heating  system would be the most suitable… But, only, if the content inside of the furniture/cabinets is not sensitive to higher temperature. Besides, when infloor/underfloor heating system is installed under the furniture, a signifficant amount of heating energy is lost.

Electric Elpan skirting board heating system might be the only one option to chose from. There is no heating energy loss – heat radiates directly into the center of the room. When mounted onto furniture, electric Elpan modular heating panels allow radiant heat to be distributed into premises as usual and all items inside of the cabinets are not affected by unwanted exposure of higher temperatures.

Energy Consumption and Wood Flooring

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.
