摘要

In a hydronic radiant heating and/or cooling system of thekind having a heating/cooling loop including a length of tubingthat conducts water, mounted in a floor, wall or ceiling of aroom heated/cooled by said system and a metal plate or sheetproviding a radiation surface mounted in the room floor, wall orceiling, adjacent a surface thereof, the length of tubing beingheld against the plate in intimate thermal contact therewith, sothat the plate is heated/cooled by conduction of heat between thewater in the tubing and the plate, the improvement comprising:a plurality of separate identical panels each comprising a singleboard; the panels being equipped for arranging on a floor, wallor ceiling side by side to provide elongated spaces into whichthe tubing is inserted and held against the plate; so that afinished floor, wall or ceiling covering can be installed thereonand the system operated to heat or cool said room.
