Radiant Floor Heating Study
Radiant heat has been adopted for floor heating in more and more homes and non-residential buildings nowadays, especially in cold climates. In addition to the warmth and comfort it supplies, a radiant floor can be energy efficient too. For this project, students are expected to understand and perform an analysis for radiant floors. Each student team is to design, build, analyze, and test a simple hydronic radiant heating system to heat up a plywood surface, simulating how a radiant floor works. The objective of the design is for the surface to reach a certain temperature while being heated evenly as well. Hot water will be supplied as the heat source. A second part of the project is for each team to conduct a review on the various space heating systems. On testing day, each team will have 15 minutes to set up, demonstrate/test, and disassemble their device. In addition, they will also prepare a PowerPoint slide show or video clip for the audience to explain their design decisions, fabrication, operations, and thermal analysis of their device.
