ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a metal ceiling panel for a heat radiating ceiling which can be arranged in a coplanar array with like ceiling panels or it can be secured to the upper side of selected metal sheets which are arranged in a coplanar array. The panel of the invention has a central, lengthwise extending broad rib formation defining a channel of part-cylindrical form which is adapted to receive a heating pipe in good heat conducting contact therewith. The rib formation also has portions adapted to receive the ends of a one-piece band used to hold the heating pipe in the channel. The portions of the rib which receive the ends of a one-piece band may have enlarged inner end portions adapted to receive pins inserted at the ends of the panels for aligning the ends of adjoining panels in a line extending parallel to the pipe. The edges of the panels may have a tongue and groove arrangement for engaging adjoining panels. The panels have major surfaces which are substantially flat except for the rib formation extending outwardly from one major surface and optional ribs formed by grooves on the opposite major surface for greater heat dissipation efficiency of the panel. A clip which extends about the pipe has a part circular central section which lies against the pipe, two legs which extend obliquely outwards from the central section and the free ends of the legs extend inwards towards each other to form retaining feet.
