Heat source transfer functions and their application to low temperature radiant heating systems
Radiant heating systems have been identified by segments of the HVAC industry as technology which can potentially reduce the energy consumption of buildings. As a result of higher mean radiant temperatures within radiantly heating structures, it has been hypothesized that these systems can provide …

Gas-fired radiant heaters
… interest for the successful application of radiant heating in industrial environments. In it the author tackles the problem of how to predict the thermal comfort produced both by single heaters and also systems of heaters; proposes a method for modelling the mechanisms by which heaters …

Development and Demonstration of a Performance Test Protocol For Radiant Floor Heating Systems
The Radiant Heating markets - especially, the hydronic segment - are growing rapidly in North America due to homeowners' increasing demand for comfort and the steady rise in residential construction. Radiant systems are promising technologies for energy saving in commercial and residential building …

Radiant Auto-Ignition of Wood
… mechanisms in the auto-ignition of redwood by radiant heating were experimentally studied. An open-cone radiant source heated an insulated cubical vertical sample 4 cm on a side. Infrared (IR) and normal video cameras were used to view the surface of the wood. Surface temperature (by …

The unsteady combustion of radiant heat flux-driven energetic solids
… combustion of energetic materials under dynamic radiant heating. Analysis has been carried out under the assumptions of quasi-steady gas and surface reaction, homogeneous propellant, and one-dimensional flame (QSHOD theory). Further, the assumption of a quasi-steady surface reaction was relaxed …

The biogeochemistry of 210Pb and 210Po in fresh waters and sediments
… gradient method including corrections for both radiant heating and heat loss to sediments. Vertical mixing was very low because of stability imparted by a steep temperature/density gradient extending right to the sediment water interface. Anoxic conditions caused remobilization of reduced iron, …

A methodology for thermal analysis and predictive control of building envelope heating systems
A heating system integrated into the building envelope, such as a floor radiant heating system, is defined as a building envelope heating system (BEHS). Thermal mass usually integrated with such a heating system can be utilized to lower both peak loads and operating costs and to reduce room …

Performance optimization of low-to-moderate temperature thermal systems: a multi-pronged investigation
… PCM-based solar ice control ground radiant heating system (RHS) is investigated to be retrofitted as a layer onto the surface of an existing concrete pavement to prevent snow/ice accumulation during winter season. This work is funded by the United States Department of Transportation …
