Benefits Of Having A Radiant Floor Heating System By: Matthew McKernan | - What is radiant floor heating and how does it work? Radiant floor heating heats the floor so that on a cold winter's day you are not stepping onto a freezing cold floor. Yes you could get your slippers on. But you have to still put your feet on the cold floor to put the slippers on. Wouldn't it just be nice to just get out of bed without worrying where your slippers are?
Is It Possible To Get Thermal Hot Water In A Cold Climate? By: Matthew McKernan | - It is possible to get thermal hot water in a cold climate. You are able to get hot water and reduce the risk of the pipes freezing up. You can do this with the help of a glycol-based solution. With the glycol solution you need to have a certain type of unit to get it to work in colder climates. The type of unit that would be the most beneficial would be a closed looped system. In this in type of system works by getting the heat from the glycol to the water to het it then to your home from a heat ... Tags:bioglycol, Ethylene Glycol, thermal fluids
Maintaining Your Heat Transfer Fluid By: Matthew McKernan | - Performing the proper maintenance on your heat transfer fluid and the system can help to extend the life. It is like with anything else it has to be checked on and serviced to keep everything running smoothly. Doing regular maintenance helps to reduce down time and it also helps to reduce your overall heat transfer fluid costs. Different heat transfer fluids have different optimal operating temperatures. The aromatics, petroleum-based fluids, polyglycols and silicones operate best at temperature ... Tags:heat transfer fluids, fluid coolers, bioglycol
The Many Uses For Antifreeze By: Matthew McKernan | - Antifreeze is used for the purpose of protecting the unit from freezing damage. When the water turns into ice it can be very damaging. Antifreeze is used as a heat transfer fluid. It is used in many things for example it is used in HVAC chillers and also in solar water heaters. There are certain chemical elements that are added to the water to help with reducing the freezing point. So that it can be at the lowest temperature. This temperature is what the unit will be most likely to handle. It is ... Tags:heat transfer fluids, fluid coolers, bioglycol
Choosing The Right Heat Transfer Fluid For Your Unit By: Matthew McKernan | - Choosing the right heat transfer fluid for your unit can be tricky. It is important to pick the right one ensure a long life out of your unit. A very important thing to consider is the compatibility of the heat transfer fluid with the wetted surfaces. It is very important to know t the cooling components or system and the application. Some other thing that you need to factor in when trying to decide on the right fluid is specific heat, the viscosity, the freezing point, high flash point, low co ...
