Invisible Radiant Heating
Heat Cloud is the high-tech radiant panel heating and cooling solution that uses heat transfer technology in conjunction with light aluminium sheet and thin gauge copper tube. Panels offer highly efficient performance from low water temperature systems as well as fast response times.
Panels are low weight and manufactured from aluminium and copper, so totally recyclable. They are are available in bespoke sizes and a range of pipe configurations. Working on the radiant principle, they fit within a building’s ceilings, walls or a combination of both, hidden behind plasterboard and other materials such as metal ceilings. By utilising side profiles and/or a retaining clip system, Heat Cloud sits within the building’s sub-structure without reducing the ceiling height or room dimensions and is invisible to the occupants whilst freeing up wall space.
By reversing the cycle on the heat pump or condensing heat emitter, Heat Cloud can deliver air tempering and seasonal cooling by adding low temperature air to the heated air stream and regulating the temperature. By supplying chilled water to the panels, the internal surfaces of the room can be lowered below those of the space and its occupants (typically 14-19°C).
The Heat Cloud panels then provide an efficient and comfortable radiant cooling system for use in the summer months. These relatively high water temperatures for cooling mean chillers can offer increased efficiency and reversible heat pumps can be incorporated for low cost cooling and year round operation.
A correctly designed and installed radiant conditioned living or work space creates a neutrally comfortable, healthy, energy efficient indoor climate under both heating and cooling modes and this can be achieved using a single system. The SPC Heat Cloud is mechanically budgeted, designed, purchased and installed just as with any standard specification of radiant panels or radiators. When selecting Heat Cloud the engineer is able to design their own preferred control arrangement in line with the appropriate number of zones. The ceiling and/or wall sub-structure is as standard and the plasterboard is installed in line with normal building practice.
