RaySol Applications

•Freezer Frost Heave Prevention

•Concrete Floor Warming

•Heat Loss Replacement

•Tile and Marble Floor Warming

4

Tile and Marble Floor Warming

•Application Overview

– Not primary heat source - comfort heat

– Residential bathrooms

– Embedded in mortar under tile

– Low density concrete

(Gypcrete) often used

5

Heat Loss Replacement

•Application Overview

– Used in areas over unheated space such as parking garage

– Objective is to have net zero heat flux

– Run in conduit or attached to bottom of floor

6

Concrete Floor Warming

•Application overview

– Not primary heat source - comfort heat

– Schools, gymnasiums, bathrooms

– Run in conduit

7

Frost Heave Prevention

•Application Overview

– Moisture in ground under cold storage areas (<32 degrees) freezes forcing up floors

– Insulation slows, but does

not prevent, freezing
