Selection and Installation

The total load of the selected RP Ceiling Panels should exceed the heat loss from the building in cold conditions. The heaters should be positioned so that the space between the heaters is no greater than the distance between the heaters and the floor. RP Ceiling Panels should be seen as an economic alternative to conventional space heating systems, they are not ideally suited to ‘spot heating’ applications although they can provide a localised temperature boost within a larger space perhaps over a work station.

Energy Saving

RP Ceiling Panels are a more economic means of heating commercial premises than conventional heating systems.

The gentle radiant effect means that the ‘experienced temperature’ can be up to 4°C warmer than the actual air temperature. This means that the thermostat can be set up to 4°C lower.
The temperature gradient is negligible. Typically air temperature will increase by 0.3°C per metre above floor level. This figure compares to a typical 2.5°C per metre when using fan heaters.

Controlling RP Radiant Ceiling Panels

BN Thermic’s Hard Case range of tamperproof electronic control devices is ideally suited to controlling a radiant heating system. Its tamperproof design enhances the system’s economy by ensuring that that only authorised personnel can adjust the temperature setting. A Hard Case electronic control device can directly control a load of up to 3kW. Lager loads and 3 phase loads can be controlled via a suitably rated contactor.
