Course Description: AEC Daily: Floor Warming, Primary Heating, Snow Melting, & Roof Deicing with PTC Heaters
With a radiant heat system, the temperature profile associated with a forced-air system is switched around, and the entire floor becomes the radiator. The heat radiates from the floor, warming all of the objects in the room, and everything in the room gains a warm, comfortable feel to it. This course evaluates self-regulating polymer technology and the performance benefits of using PTC (positive temperature coefficient) heaters for energy-efficient floor warming, primary heating, snow melting, and roof deicing.
Discuss the underlying principles of heat transfer and the advantages of radiant heat in terms of its positive impact on occupant comfort levels.
Compare the operation and installation of radiant heating systems and explain how PTC heaters can integrate seamlessly into the overall living space and provide an even distribution of heat without any unsafe or unpleasant hotspots.
Explain how self-regulating polymer technology works and why PTC heaters can improve indoor air quality and occupant health and well-being.
Discuss the energy efficiency and performance of PTC heaters and.the advantages of using PTC heaters for floor warming, primary heating, snow melting, and roof deicing.
