Radiant Systems for Designers, Installers, and Field Technicians
An engineering resource and design manual that serves as a comprehensive reference for the design, installation, and maintenance of radiant systems, this book draws on the author’s more than 18 years of hands-on design, troubleshooting, and field experience to deliver an in-depth look into the world of radiant heating. The text covers the history and function of radiant systems and controls from their use in ancient Roman baths to such modern applications as floor warming, floor heating, and snow melting. Study topics include system design, control strategies, water quality, and troubleshooting. Learn how common construction changes can impact the operation of a radiant system while discovering the simple “tweaks” that installers can use to optimize performance.
