RADIANT COOLING WITH CAPILLARY MATS
![]() |
Innovation In Climate Engineering:For temperature regulation in nature, water carrying capillary vessels have succeeded, so for example in the leaves of plants or beneath the human skin. Water will conduct heat 1000 times faster than air and therefore it is many times more effective. Capillary tube systems use this evolutionary technique for the regulation of room climate with the best results. |

HOW IT WORKS?Mats are made up of small thin capillary tubes and installed in a closed loop hydronic system. These tubes are connected to the hydronic heating and cooling circuit, powered by a reverse cycle heat pump, with either hot or cold water flowing through the capillary tubes regulating the room temperature. In cooling mode, the cool water will create cool air which will fall down naturally. In winter the warm water will radiate heat. For optimal performance, the supply temperatures must be between 16 Deg C (above dew point in cooling mode) and up to 45 Deg C (in heating mode). Capillary tube mats are equally suitable for new constructions and retrofits. |
FACTORS TO CONSIDER FOR INSTALLATION:
How much does it cost?The cooling mats are likely to cost around $90/sq.m (supply & installation) depending on the project. To discuss your project contact us. |
