ABSTRACT:
A hydronic heating system having a source of hot supply water and a reservoir of cooler return water and one or more heating loops that include a heating element that is a length of tubing that conducts water from the supply to the return and the length of tubing is mounted in a wall or a floor of an area heated by the system by RFH or RWH, respectively, in a room includes: a highly thermally conductive plate having a radiating surface mounted in the area floor or wall, adjacent a surface thereof; a plate support of relatively low thermal conductivity material providing an elongated space for holding the length of tubing adjacent the plate; the elongated space being defined by two parallel sides provided by the plate support, a third elongated side provided by the plate and an elongated open side; the side provided by the plate being substantially wider than the open side; the tubing is inserted into the space through the open side thereof; and a compliant filler of relatively higher thermal conductivity material fills around the tubing between the tubing and the plate throughout the space against the side thereof provided by the plate; whereby the plate is heated by conduction of heat from the tubing through the filler material in the space against the side thereof provided by the plate; and the plate radiating surface radiates heat to the area.
