The first radiant raised floor system

MODULAR RADiAnt SYStEM

MODULO RADiAntE is the first radiant raised floor,

composed by separable modules with integrated instal-

lation; it guarantees easy accessibility to the underlying

systems combined to the incomparable comfort of the

heating/cooling floor. the low temperature radiant sys-

tem, inserted into the modules, together with the low

thickness of the radiant panel, ensure diffused and uni-

form temperature, quick installation, oerating flexibility.

| maximum acoustic and climatic comfort

| high flexibility of the system

MODULO RADIANTE is the first modular raised floor that combines the technical need that

more frequently happen during the setting ups of buildings and areas dedicated to the tertiary

sector (inspection of the cables and of the underlying systems without interrupting the working

activity, easy reconfiguration of the office lay-out), thermal (comfort, low energy consumption

and low environmental impact) and aesthetic requirements. the time, which is necessary to

reach the full working capacity, is significantly reduced compared to a traditional radiant floor

systems, as well as the time needed to remove/replace tiles, to modify or to extend the lay-out.

thanks to the low thermal inertia the heat up time is absolutely shorter, compared to a tra-

ditional radiant floor system. the floor panel and the underlying structure have a class 5/A

mechanical resistance.

thE cOMpOSitiOn Of thE RADiAnt pAnEL

Every module is composed of a bent and punched steel basin to contain a vertical stiffening

structure, to grant a high mechanical resistance. the vertical structure provides housing for the

5 layers MidiX pipe (10x1,3 mm). MidiX pipe has an oxygen permeability lower than 3,6 mg/m

per day at a temperature of 80 °c and 0,32 mg/m³ per day at a temperature of 40 °c.

Modules are filled with expanded cellular concrete (density 1400 kg/m³), highly insolating

and sound absorbent. A zinc-coated steel top cover (DX51D) ensures a perfect closure of

the respectively upper and perimetrical parts of the module.

to the thickness of the panel, the minumum one of the tile, which can vary between

3-10 mm (according to the preferred material), can be added a top finishing tile.

SpEcificAtiOn itEMheating / cooling floor type planium-Eurotherm, with tubing inserted inside the modules of a raised floor (size 600x600 mm), remov-able and replaceable in a punctual way, which can be finished with materials of your choice. the system is suitable for offices and / or environments where a raised floor is necessary, that guarantees the possibility of inspection, either in the interspace below, or in the installation placed there (f.e. electrical cables or network cables), allowing flexibility in the organization of work stations. the system must be able to match any structures built by specialized companies.the surface temperature must correspond to the physiological needs of hygiene and respect the rule of maximum 29 °c. the compo-nents of the system must comply with the Uni En iSO and / or Din affecting them and specified below.the module should consist of a basin containing an armor core composed of vertical elements, and shear-bended elements that give mechanical resistance to the whole; in the core must be placed a heating octene-polyethylene tubing, copolymer of pE-Rt MidiX composite type (Din 16833 and Din 4721) with a barrier thickness of the tube and oxygen in the oxygen permeability of less than 0.01 g/m3 per day (Uni En 1264-4 and Din 4726); these characteristics of mechanical strength, according to iSO 10508, make it be-long to class 4, with operating pressure above 10 bar, to the class 5 with higher operating pressure 6 bar. the pipe has a life expectancy of more than 50 years, diameter 10 mm and thickness 1.3 mm (Uni En 1264-4); the square footage of the pipe must be such as to ensure uniformity of surface temperature and heat output required in the project. Basin, core and pipe are covered by a concrete cell foam with a density of 1400 kg/m3. the module must be complete with metal lid with upper galvanized steel finish, which guarantees the upper and the perimeter closure of the module.the supply must include the fiberglass insulation mat (treated with thermosetting resins), covered with aluminized Kraft paper, in order to reduce heat and radiation transmission to the cavity below the floor. the mat must have thermal conductivity λ equal to 0.036 W / mK and a thickness of about 100 mm and has to be housed on the bottom of a screed, on which the raised radiant system is installed. the power of the modules must be given through lines of distribution, made with of pE-Rt tubing and with above detailed features, diameter 20 mm and thickness of 2 mm (Uni En 1264-4), these lines should be detectable on the length of the executive drawing of the project, whereas the maximum number of modules powered from any line must be equal to 44. the system is sold complete with: radiant modules, distribution lines insulated with foamed polyethylene sheathing (installed with the technique of reverse return) and securing sufficient material up to standard agreement, then plug connectors for the modules to the line distribution (designed and made according to existing regulations). the system must be provided with documentation showing the performance(to be determined by numerical simulations with definite differences according to En 15377).

the load-bearing structure consists of 3 elements: support

feet with threaded rod assembled on a circular backing base

(ø 100mm); a crossed head support, allowing the resistance

of the modular elements and the adjustment of the height

of the floor in a micrometric way; the galvanized stainless

steel stringers, with “U” section, on which a linear gasket

is placed.

the load-bearing structure will be installed after squaring

and tracking the area. the panels are fitted on the main

structure, after connecting the tubing to the underlying

distribution line previously posed.

the dry laying allows the fast installation of the system,

modularity makes it customizable even in the planning stage.

panels with metal finishing ensure even a better thermal

conduction, as well the possibility of customizing it with

drawings or marks, placing lights into the tiles, holing

the tiles to provide an extra ventilation, and more design

options, which will improve and optimize your environment.

the uniformity of superficial temperature is guaranteed, as evidenced by the results of a thermographic analysis on operating Modulo Radiante installed at the Elektro A. haller shop of frangarto/Appiano (BZ).

phases from the heating up to the full functioning of the system:

1 - off2 - after 20 min3 - after 45 min4 - steady

the performance of a radiant system is determined by

the difference between the operating temperature

together with the waitng times to reach a temperature of

comfort of the room, in which it operates and the average

temperature of the radiant surface. the more the radiant

modules employed to supply the necessary power to heat

the rooms are, the wider the active surface is for the purpose

and the waiting times to reach the comfort temperature.

consequently, the lower is the necessary superficial

temperature. the highest power for the heating of

each module is 35W (that is to say 97,2 W/m2 for a

homogenous superficial temperature of 29 °c).

Such a power is avaible with an input water temperature

from 35 °c to 40 °c. this variability depends on the type

of the finish, which has been chosen for each module.

the number of radiating modules and their allocation

should be carefully evaluated during the design phase,

not only to ensure the temperature of comfort with the

lowest surface temperature, but also to ensure that the

system set-up times reflect the needs of the user. for the

conditioning the highest available power is 26 W/m2 with

an input water temperature of 18 °c. in order to avoid

condense, it is suggested an air treatment, using f.e.

dehumidifier or dehu air conditioner.

* in compliance with Uni En 1264-3 the flow temperature must not be under than 1K below the dew point temperature value, calculated on the environment conditions if a dehumidification system is present. (for example: with 26°c in environment and relative humidity of 51%, the dew point temperature is equal to 15°c; the flow temperature can be 14°c, but not lower)

the power loss varies widely with the constructive solution on which the system is applied. the total power can be committed 200% of the room, which has to be heated, if the boundary conditions are less favorable up to decrease significantly in the case of properly isolated structures.
