The
CopperHeart
integral
collector
storage
system
(ICS)
combines
thermal
collection
and
storage
in
one
unit.
The CopperHeart
is
designed
to
meet
international
demand
for
simple,
durable
yet
inexpensive
domestic
water
heating.
The
CopperHead
typically
serves
as
water
pre-heater
for
an
existing
water
heater
or
as
the
primary
water
heater
in
warmer
climates.
ICS
unites
are
an
excellent
choice
for
new
construction
in
the
US
Sunbelt
of
other
warm
climates
throughout
the
world
which
do
not
experience
hard
freezes.
The
CopperHeart
ICS
requires
no
pumps,
controls,
or
parasitic
energy
consumption
for
its
normal
operation. |

Hot water from a boiler or hot water heater is the medium for heat transfer in a hydronic system. Radiators are the most common source of heat transfer, but radiant loops are gaining popularity. Installation and materials costs have made aluminum finned copper tubing the most effective style. Once the heat loss of a room has been determined, a measured length of baseboard (low output or high output) or the correct size free standing cast radiator can be installed. Baseboard, whether copper or cast iron, is run in a continuous loop from room to room, but the larger cast standing radiators work better as a supply and return loop or as a monoflo loop. Using a fitting called a monoflo T, One pipe can feed the entire loop of standing radiators. Unique but simple, the monoflo T uses an orifice placed to one side of the T arm to restrict the flow of water through it. Down side of the flow it forces water into the arm. Upside of the flow and suction is produced. Water is forced in and out of the radiator without valves or a separate pump.
Using the concept of warm feet as an important comfort factor, radiant heating is becoming more popular, but continues to be more expensive to purchase and install. It can be stapled to the underside of the sub-floor, embedded in a concrete slab, or strung between the ceiling joist to radiate down from the ceiling for double the pleasure or when refitting a room with an existing slab floor. When embedded in a concrete slab, response time is slow and gradual, so the water must circulate constantly and the thermostat set at the desired temperature and left alone.
Hydronic Heating is the heating of a building by heat radiation from pipes or tubing mounted under a floor which contains hot water.
• Hydronic Heating is so efficient and comfortable because it uses water to transfer heat throughout the building for one good reason....water is the ultimate transfer medium.
• A given volume of water can hold almost 3,500 times as much heat as the same volume of air, for the same temperature rise in each material.
• To equal the amount of heat that could be carried in a 1" diameter pipe (hydronic heat), you would need a 10 x 18 duct (forced hot air heat).
• Hydronic heating can be easily zoned for more efficiency.
• With forced hot air, indoor air quality has deteriorated because ducted systems repeatedly circulate dust, dirt and impurities back into the house. Hydronic heating systems have little or no air movement.
• In a forced hot air type system, the heating registers should be at the floor level because hot air will rise. With an air conditioning system, the ducts should be at the ceiling because cooler air will drop. Any combination heating and cooling system using the same ductwork will be a compromise in one mode or the other.
• 7 out of 10 Americans are unhappy (dissatisfied) with their hot air heating or cooling systems.
• 90% of American homes are heated by a forced air type system
• Not only is Hydronic Heating healthy for you, it is ideal for using with solar water heating applications which the federal government as well as several states are currently offering tax credits.
