Energy-efficient Skirting Heating

Efficient heat delivery – 100% Highly responsive – 1.0 Even heat distribution Unobtrusive Retrofittable Works with gas, oil, heat pumps (or just

electricity)

6


“Like the gentle warmth of the sun”

Great feeling of comfort at low average temperature

No hot or cold spots Heats from the lowest point upwards Doesn’t deplete oxygen in the room No “hot foot” syndrome

7


Quick and Efficient Control

Rapid warm up only .266 litres/metre of water doesn’t need to heat the floor slab

It’s its own heat distribution system no pipes to hide heats the room, not the ceiling

8


Easily retro-fitted

Uses standard 15mm components Fit to radiator provisions Surface mount where no provisions No need to replace floor Electrical resistance version needs no

boiler

The Coanda EffectNamed after its discover, Romanian aerodynamicist

Henri-Marie Coanda (1885-1972)

“Coanda effect or wall-attachment effect, the tendency of a moving fluid, either liquid or gas, to attach itself to a surface and flow along it. As a fluid moves across a surface a certain amount of friction (called “skin friction”) occurs between the fluid and the surface, which tends to slow the moving fluid. This resistance to the flow of the fluid pulls the fluid towards the surface, causing it stick to the surface.”

- Columbia Encyclopedia

10


The Coanda Effect - applied

Fit skirting to exterior walls Warms and dries the wall Forms insulating layer Heat radiates from the walls Warmed air circulates Works well even on badly insulated walls!

11


No Hot or Cold Spots

12


How does it compare to radiators?

Spreads heat evenly - no wasted heat above the radiators.

13


How does it compare to UFH?

Quicker response No slab to warm up (or cool down!) Much less water to warm

More even temperature distribution Can use with real wood floors No problems with carpet underlay Easily retrofitted Easier to install, repair or modify

14


How does it compare to other skirting systems?

Highest output in a compact system: Climaboard ST = 203W/mtr at 60oC Climaboard Power Plus = 260W/mtr at 60oC Climaboard DUO = 406W/mtr at 60oC

Needs less Runs more efficiently Uses standard 15mm copper piping

Water only ever in contact with copper A standard plumbing solution for every situation

Aluminium fins warm the air internally Lower surface temperature - <43oC at 80oC Flow

Flexible mounting of components Less noise

Climaboard DUO


Climaboard DUO uses 4 rows of pipes and measures250 x 30 mm

17


Connecting sections

Use standard solder, push-fit, compression or press-fit connectors (must be less than 23 mm OD) e.g. Cuprofit (details)

18

http://www.screwfix.com/search.do?_dyncharset=UTF-8&fh_search=cuprofit&pn=1&pd=1&pi=1&cn=1&cd=1

Connecting at corners

Use 2 x elbow 03-1005 with appropriate connectors

www.skirtingheating.co.uk 19


Connecting flow to return

Use “U” connector

03-1000 with choice of solder, push-fit, compression or press-fit connectors

20

Neater Corners


Use 01-1014 for internal or 01-1015 for external corners

21


Ending runs

Use ready-made

RH and LH end pieces

22


Electrical Inserts

200 W/meter Use where

wet systems are just not possible

How much will I need?Method 1

What room volume? What insulation standard? What heating method? What water temperature? Minimum local temperature?

Estimate with our Excel Calculator

(Available on request)

25


How much will I need?Method 2

Assume approx 20cms per M3 of room Typically about 2 walls out of four (for very

large rooms, use method 1) Apply wherever possible to exterior walls

2 walls on corner rooms Minimum 1 on others

For aesthetics use empty Climaboard® for the remaining wall space
