An analysis of the thermal characteristics for optimal design and operation of the radiant heating panels

복사난방패널의 설계 및 운전을 위한 열적 특성 분석

The theoretical analysis and experiment with simulator were performed to obtain the temperature distributions in radiant heating panel and heat supply from hot water to heating space for the purpose of the development of comfortable living space from a point of view of the improvement of air quality and the enhancement of system efficiency. The relations of various parameters, such as pipe pitch, room temperature as well as flow rate and temperature of hot water and so on, with the rate of heat supplied, mean temperature and maximum temperature difference at panel surface were discussed. The effects of these parameters were also verified on the thermal performance of heating panel using the relations which could be used for the optimal design and operation of the radiant heating panel.
