Here's how minitube systems can save thousands of dollars in the design of radiant floor heating
systems in large garage facilities.
Large garage facilities are among the best applications for hydronic radiant floor heating. The reasons supporting this statement include:
Equation 1
Where:
Q = rate of heat transfer (Btu/hr)
Thot = temperature of fluid in supply pipe (?F)
Treturn = temperature of fluid in return pipe (?F)
490 = a constant for water (use 479 for 30% glycol, 450 for 50% glycol)
