Capillary Tube Mats Use the Natural Capillary Effect for Heat Transfer
capillary tube mats are made of pure and highly recyclable polypropylene. The narrow spacing between the thin capillary tubes andand the position of the capillary tube mat, just below the surface to be thermally activated, lead to uniform surface temperatures with high energy efficiency. This results in very short reaction times of the heating and cooling surfaces and also a very even temperature distribution which is perceived as very pleasant.
The small diameter of the capillary tubes enables the capillary tube mats to be installed close to the ceiling surface. This minimizes the thermal resistance from the heating / cooling water to the thermally activated surface. The heating and cooling ceiling reacts to temperature changes in just a few minutes and achieves high specific heating and cooling capacities. It is irrelevant that the capillary tubes are made of plastic because the wall thickness of the capillary tubes is only 0.5 mm or 0.8 mm and thus hardly contributes to the overall thermal resistance. The ceiling heating with capillary tube mats can be operated with low flow temperatures. The result is high energy efficiency.
The large number of capillary tubes supports this effect and also ensures a very even surface temperature that is close to the mean water temperature. Test certificates for the standard cooling capacity according to EN14240 and the standard heating capacity according to EN14037 are available for standard installation situations.
