Radiant Heat and Thermal Comfort with Elpan/Wanpan Heating

Behind the design of every new house there is a desire to minimize living expenses and have a comfortable, healthy indoor environment. In planning the requirements of a heating system a good basic

assumption is that the person for whom the system must assure thermal comfort is sitting still while wearing light indoor clothing.

Experiments have shown that if a uniform temperature can be achieved at every point in the room, at both head and foot level, 21 degree of C is ideal.

Energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan skirting board radiant heating system provides comfortable radiant heat and the most possible uniform temperature in the room – only 0.5C difference between the floor and the ceiling (scientifically proved).

Having the uniform temperature in the room is the main important factor which leads to Thermal Encirclement, highest energy savings and the most comfortable and healthy indoor environment to be enjoyed.

Skirting Board Heating Versus Traditional Radiators

Heating panels of Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating system are fitted around the room, at the base of the wall, instead of regular baseboards and warms a house or a flat in a different way, comClick to enlargeparing to traditional radiators.

Thermal Encirclement is created as well as constant temperature throughout the room. It helps to avoid the air circulation caused by traditional radiators. The air in the room does not move arround, while the traditional radiators create a circulation of air, which starts by moving up to the ceiling and the crosswise.

It allows to reduce heating energy consumption by 20%, when installing Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating system and creating Thermal Encirclement effect. Additional up to 15% of energy savings are achieved when programmable thermostats are used. Thermal Encirclement eliminates a possibility of any cold or damp walls or corners.

There are no radiators on the walls, what gives more flexibility to furnish the room as desired. Eliminating one or two radiators in the room indoor design becomes modern and appealing.

Residents of the house are living in more comfortable and healthier environment. Elpan/Wanpan skirting heating system versus traditional radiators by creating The Thermal Encirclement and making indoor living more pleasant and healthy.

Elpan/Wanpan Heating Versus Baseboard Heaters

When it comes to baseboard heaters everybody pictures old fashion and bulky heating equipment, mounted at the lower level of the wall. These days, modern and updated baseboarClick to enlarged heaters are having significantly better design.

However, they are usually found to be mounted at the location bellow windows and installed on one or two walls of the room. At the point of heat distribution, when baseboard heaters are installed on one or two walls of the room, they are functioning as regular radiators. Indoor design is interrupted by baseboard heaters, not to mention, that there will be no energy savings comparing with traditional radiators as well as the thermal encirclement is not achieved.

In addition, when baseboard heaters are chosen as the heating option for premises, regular baseboards (wood or synthetic) need to be installed and the purchase/installation price applies.

Heating panels of Elpan/Wanpan baseboard heating system is mounted at the location of wood or synthetic baseboards and eliminates the cost of traditional baseboards as well as the cost of their installation. Elpan/Wanpan heating versus traditional baseboard heaters by many points – energy efficiency, healthy environment, low inertia and sophisticated indoor design.

Heating Energy Savings with Elpan/Wanpan Ultimate Heating System

Several tests over the years have shown that the thermal encirclement principle results in big savings of 25% on heating cost every year, when using Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating system. This is bClick to enlargeecause all room is heated evenly, instead of having one radiator, which pumps air around the room, including over to the corners which are far away from the heating source. The thermal encirclement principle saves the energy required for this transmission.

Wanpan hydronic heating system in average cost around $13.00- $16.00 per linear foot or $5.00-$8.00 – per square foot. The final price depends on which components of the heating system and how many of them are mounted in the specific room. The exact price for the project is estimated after the calculation of heating system installation is completed. It needs to be addmited, that not all areas of the house are required heating panels to be mounted and every project may have some exceptions and adjustments.

Elpan electrical heating system is about 10% more expensive to purchase, but at the same time is about 10% more torrid, than Wanpan hydronic heating system.

An example: If  normally $ 6,000.00 per year is spend on heating a residence, the savings with Elpan/Wanpan system would be $1,500.00 per year, in other words $ 15,000.00 over ten years.

So, even if Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating system cost a little more to buy, it quickly pays returns on the investment. The ultimate heating system provides with energy savings as well as other beneficial qualities, including highest level of comfort, healthy environment and low inertia.

Elpan/Wanpan Baseboard Heating System Installation Exceptions

There are many times, when we come accross the situation where some baseboard heating system installation exceptions may apply. To follow the thermal encirclement principle, skirting boarClick to enlarged heating system needs to be installed on all 4 walls, around the perimeter of room. In addition, for the purpose to cover very high heat loses, heating panels may be installed in two rows – one above each other, in a distance of choise. One wall with windows or even two outside walls, where the highest heat losses are more likely to appear, are chosen.

In rare cases, when there is no need to install Elpan/Wanpan skirting board heating on 4 walls, baseboard heating panels could be mounted on 3 walls only. It is an extraordinary exception and it applies exclusively for premises with extremly good insullation and low heating losses. Corridors or small opened areas, located inside of the house and surrounded by other well heated areas, may not need a heating system to be entirelly installed there.

Being aware of these Elpan/Wanpan baseboard heating system installation exceptions, everybody has to consult with heating proffesional and in no case make their own decissions of where the heating panels do not have to be installed or which areas could be left without the heating.

The Ultimate Heating System for Commercial Areas

There may be serious challenges to chose an ultimate heating system for commercial areas. Often walls need to be covered with shelves or wall displays which are full of prodClick to enlargeucts.

Energy efficient Elpan skirting board radiant heating system could be easily installed on the outside surface of shelves or displays. At this point, electric Elpan baseboard heating system is not only the heating system, but also –  an additional detail of design. Elpan modular heating panels are especially neat and slim to flow into indoor design inconspicuous.

Having infloor or underfloor radiant heating systems installed in commercial areas may cause some issues concerning higher temperatures at the lower level. Commercial products on the bottom shelves will be exposed to much higher temperature, which may not be recommended for specific merchandise. If infloor/underfloor heating areas would be adjusted acording shelves’ or bigger wall displays’ locations, it might be an inconvenience if store needs to be remodeled or updated in the future.

Energy saving Elpan ultimate heating system helps to keep the lowest level of dust, which also eliminates some additional cleanning work.The Thermal Encirclement effect, lowest possible air convection and possibility to be installed on the outside surface makes electric Elpan skirting board heating system to be recognized as the ultimate heating for commercial areas.

Skirting Board Heating Installed in High Ceiling Building

Skirting  board heating system is not a very common type of heating to be installed as the main and the only one in high ceiling building. Residential homes, usually, doClick to enlarge not have high ceiling in Europe or other parts of the world, where everybody feels more aware of high heating energy prices. The constructions, mentioned above, are more likely to be popular in United States.

Heating losses in premises with high ceiling are much higher then in buildings with regular ones of 3m (about 9 ft.). The building insullation, including: walls, windows, doors, roof and floor, has to be the most reliable and updated to cover high heat losses. No matter, how good the insullation is, to cover heat losses in premises with the ceilings of 6-8m (18-24ft.) will apear much more costly.

Heated air from the floor level of the room rises up until it reaches the ceiling. Obviously, bigger space needs to be heated and calculated heating losses are much higher. It is very common, that ceiling fans are installed with the purpose to stop heated air from rising up to the ceiling and to keep higher temperature at the lower level of the room. Usually, the box of the ceiling fan has a dscription as – Energy Saving Apliance. Often, more than one heating system is installed in these kind of constructions.

In many cases, infloor radiant heating system can not handle to cover all the heating losses by itself also. Flooring materials have standarts of limited temperature to be exposed to and the secondary heating system needs to be installed. In this case, sophisticated design and simplicity of Elpan/Wanpan heating system allows it to be used as a secondary heating system in high ceiling buildings to cover additional heating losses.

When Elpan/Wanpan heating system is installed in high ceiling building as a primary heating system, it is more challenging to apply the principals of thermal encirclement and have the same results which this skirting board heating system was created to achieve. Elpan/Wanpan heating systems were engineered and tested for premises which have regular ceiling of 3m ( aprx. 9 ft.). However, Elpan/Wanpan heating systems could be installed as a primary or a secondary one if the combined power of the heating systems have enough power to cover heating losses in high ceiling building.
