By now, most of you have either installed inverter-driven variable speed heat pumps that can deliver their nominal rating output at temperatures well below 0° F without any backup heat source, or at least have become familiar with the technology. 

The heating output and coefficient of performance (COP) of any hydronic heat pump is very dependent on the water temperature leaving the heat pump’s condenser. 

Amvic’s Ampex hydronic radiant panel combines rigid insulation, a vapor barrier and a PEX tubing locking mechanism into a single solution for both residential and commercial applications, the company states. 

Uponor’s Radiant Rollout Mat is the ideal solution for faster, more consistent installations for large commercial radiant heating and cooling applications — saving up to 85% in installation time, the company says.

An installer was asked to include an air-to-water heat pump into a low-temperature radiant panel heating system supplied by a mod/con boiler.

Viega’s Climate Panel is a wood panel that uses 5/16” barrier tubing for radiant heating and cooling applications.

Fast Trak is the quick and easy solution for radiant floor heating installations in new, remodel and retrofit applications, Uponor says.

MrPEX Systems introduces a new style of extruded aluminum heat-transfer plate for 3/8” or 1/2” PEX tubing in the same plate.

Radiant floors don’t necessarily have to feel warm to work properly.
