Heating and Cooling with Zehnder Rittling Carboline

Optimal indoor climate and efficient use of energy throughout the year. New regulations now dictate how energy efficient a building should be, as a saving in energy also reduces CO2 emissions. While this helps create an ideal indoor climate in the winter months, it subsequently creates a new problem in the transitional seasons and in summer:

� The fabric of these buildings is well insulated, therefore, the rooms within easily over-heat.

� The high external temperatures are boosted by the interior heat load: computers, copiers, printers and other technical equipment cause increased indoor temperatures, as do the people occupying the space.

Because the excess heat can no longer be dissipated, the cooling load rises, especially in buildings with high-grade insulation.

As part of the requirement for an ideal indoor climate, cool rooms in the summer will become equally important in the future.Zehnder Rittling Carboline is an elegant and innovative response to the requirements placed on modern indoor climate control – in summer and in winter. This is because Zehnder Rittling Carboline allows rooms to be heated and cooled. The main areas of application are:��Offices��Schools��Hospitals��Meeting rooms��Operating roomsZehnder Rittling Carboline guarantees even heat distribution within a room and extremely high energy efficiency.

Principles andOperation

How do modern ceiling-mounted heating and cooling systems work? To explain this, we first need to compare the various forms of heat transmission:

Thermal ConductionThe heat is transmitted within a body through vibration. The particles are at rest with each other. Example: touching a hot object.

ConvectionThe heat is transmitted from a liquid or gas to a solid body, or vice versa. The particles are in motion with each other.Example: the hot air rising from a radiator.

RadiationEach body radiates heat, depending on the nature of its surface and temperature. The heat is transmitted from one body to another by means of electromagnetic waves (light).Example: Sensing the heat radiated by the sun on a snow-covered mountain.

Logistics

Delivery and UnloadingZehnder Rittling arranges the desired delivery date with the customer with ample time, so the customer can ensure that personnel and suitable unloading equipment are available. A forklift truck is the best means of unloading.

Protection During TransportAn adhesive film protects each individual element on the visible side. Protected by this film, all modules are placed vertically next to each other on a wooden pallet.

3General information

Radiant ceiling panels give off most of their heat through radiation. The remaining heat is transmitted via convection.

The radiation of heat is achieved by passing heated water through pipes. The entire system transfers this heat to the room.

The benefit of our system lies in the direct heating effect it has on the body, without the need to heat another medium (air).

How do people sense heat? The ability to sense heat is determined by exchanging the heat generated in the body with the environment. In cool rooms, too much heat is drawn from the body and the temperature of the room is perceived as being too low. This can be offset by raising the air temperature and through heat radiation.

In the case of radiant heating systems, the room is heated through a raised surface temperature with a simultaneously low air temperature. This allows valuable energy to be saved!

The cooling effect is based on the same physical principles as the heating effect. Only now, the heat is not radiated, but absorbed.

As the cold radiant ceiling panel exchanges radiation with the warmer surfaces, the warmer surfaces give off part of their heat to the panel. About 60% of this radiant heat is absorbed. The remaining 40% arises through convection as the warm indoor air rises due to the difference in density and flows along the ceiling, where it transmits its heat to the radiant ceiling panel. The cooled air flows – again based on the difference in density – back into the room.

In this case, the air temperature is perceived as being lower than it actually is. And yet again, it is also possible to save precious energy compared to pure air cooling systems.

Special Features

What distinguishes Zehnder Rittling Carboline from other ceiling-mounted heating and cooling systems? Expanded natural graphite: its properties are ideal for the ceiling-mounted cooling and heating elements.

Combined with Zehnder Rittling’s expertise in the development and manufacture of panel-based heating and cooling systems, the result is a high performance system that can be easily and practically integrated into existing and new grid and suspended ceilings.

This makes Zehnder Rittling Carboline perfectly suited to providing climate control in offices, schools, hospitals, meeting rooms and operating rooms – in short, everywhere a comfortable and healthy indoor climate plays a decisive role.

Expanded Natural Graphite

An innovative material with ideal propertiesThe material used for Zehnder Rittling Carboline is produced from scale shaped natural graphite with a defined crystalline structure. This is a naturally occurring material and an inorganic modification of carbon; the carbon atoms of the graphite are arranged in a hexagonal crystal lattice in flat, superimposed layers. The production process enlarges the

volume of these parallel scales by 200 to 400 times. This expanded natural graphite is then processed further into lightweight panels.

�� Good thermal conductivity

�� Low density

�� Non-combustible

�� Non-ageing

�� Physically inert

Optimal HeatDistribution andControllability

Zehnder Rittling Carboline sets new standards in terms of performance, temperature distribution and controllability.

The expanded natural graphite guarantees an extremely even distribution of temperature. Due to the high and even surface temperature, the radiant component of Zehnder Rittling Carboline is much higher than in comparable ceiling-mounted heating and cooling systems. This additional radiant heat provides extra comfort in the various rooms, while simultaneously reducing energy costs.

As well as the better heat distribution, the reaction time of Zehnder Rittling Carboline under alternating cooling or heating loads is unrivaled. The system reacts much quicker than conventional ceiling-mounted heating and cooling systems. Critical to this is the combination of good conductivity and low mass found in expanded natural graphite. Due to the rapid response, energy efficiency is much higher than in conventional systems.

The thermographic imaging shows the comparison between Zehnder Rittling Carboline and a competing product, both exposed to the same temperature and mass flow.

Θ = average surface temperature

See below for surface temperature across panel width.

The reaction test also shows that Zehnder Rittling Carboline reacts faster than the competing product during a change of temperature from heating to cooling. Both systems were subjected to the same temperature and same mass flow for the test series. It can be seen that the Zehnder Rittling Carboline cools much quicker and also shows better performance after 25 minutes.

Energy-Saving Considerations

The temperature a person senses in a room is the arithmetic mean average of the indoor air temperature and the surface temperatures (e.g. walls, ceilings, floors).

Due to the radiation and the higher surface temperature of ceiling-mounted cooling and heating systems, the indoor air temperature during heating can be kept lower. The indoor air temperature can also be higher during cooling, and still be perceived as comfortable.

Energy costs are reduced, both when heating and when cooling, due to the lower or higher air temperature.

The special properties of Zehnder Rittling Carboline reinforce this saving effect even more. Both through the even and high surface temperature of the cooling and heating elements and through the extremely quick reaction time. This allows indoor temperatures to be controlled as required within a very short time, without unnecessary losses of energy.

In terms of energy consumption, the Zehnder Rittling Carboline has many advantages:

�� Air temperature can be up to 5°F lower (when heating) or higher (when cooling)

�� Very good controllability of the system

Due to the higher surface temperature, a much lower air temperature is sufficient for a ceiling-mounted radiant heating system in order to give people a sense of comfortable warmth.

Air temperature 65 °F

Perceived temperature 70 °F

Surface temperature 75 °F

General information

�� High radiant component due to high surface temperature

�� Short heating and cooling time of the system through low storage masses

Cost-BenefitConsideration

A pleasant indoor climate, excellent comfort control and high energy efficiency are all good reasons for choosing Zehnder Rittling Carboline. However, when selecting a system for heating and cooling rooms, there is another important factor: the total cost. The first cost of a radiant ceiling system can be up to 30% less expensive when compared to a standard central air handling with VAV box system. In addition to these savings, 10-20% energy cost reduction can be possible, depending upon the region of the U.S. and the cost per kilowatt hour. These costs are the driving factors for the developer in the planning or building phase. Of course, with constantly rising energy prices, it will become increasingly important to be aware of ongoing energy costs.

It is worthwhile investing in an appropriate ceiling-mounted cooling and heating system, especially if the property is to be rented out at a later time. After all, low ancillary costs inherently make every building more attractive.

8

Investment costsThe level of investment for providing climate control within a building depends on several factors: For cooling, the type of distribution system, the cooling source, the comfort required and, finally, the architectural requirements. Zehnder Rittling Carboline is especially suited for large cooling loads and where a high value is placed on comfort and aesthetics. Since the panels can operate at relatively low heights, lower story heights can also be achieved without problem. As complex ventilation systems and ducts can also be dispensed with, there is no need for additional plant rooms and service shafts. This results in additional savings, which should be included in the calculation.

Energy costsThe energy costs of a building primarily depend on the type of energy system used, how the energy is produced and the heat that is given off or absorbed. All this, in turn, influences any additional costs, e.g. for maintenance and servicing or for the operation of fans. With Zehnder Rittling Carboline, these costs disappear completely. Further cost benefits are generated through lower temperatures being sufficient during heating and higher temperatures during cooling, in order to perceive the room temperature as comfortable. In the case of air systems, the initial costs for a low temperature level are very high, while a higher level can also be achieved through cheaper means, e.g. through free ventilation or using alternative sources of energy.

Comfort Criteria

We spend almost three-quarters of our life indoors: at home, at work, during leisure time. The indoor climate (temperature and air quality) has a great influence on our general well-being and on our physical and mental performance.

Comfort is, above all, created by the type of heat transmission. For example, the radiant heat of a tiled stove is perceived as being pleasant and natural, because it warms the body directly. Modern ceiling mounted heating and cooling systems combine this principle with high energy efficiency.

Radiant panels arranged evenly across the ceiling create a comfortable indoor climate and help to save energy. The heat is distributed over the entire area of the room. Unlike conventional air heating systems, radiant panels are also totally clean. This is because they emit or absorb heat without producing drafts and, therefore, do not circulate any dust. An enormous benefit for allergy sufferers and everyone who works or lives in dusty rooms.

Mechanical ventilation may be needed in larger buildings to ensure the required minimum air exchange. Polluted air can be removed from the building via the outgoing air, while the incoming air can be prepared by an AC system, e.g. in terms of air humidity, in order to support an optimal indoor climate.

With Zehnder Rittling Carboline, this is easy and straightforward to do. The incoming air outlets can be integrated into the radiant panel– as tailor-made ventilation holes.

Zehnder Rittling Carboline with Integrated Air Outlet

Important: When combining mechanical ventilation with Zehnder Rittling Carboline, it should be ensured that the actual number of air exchanges is not exceeded. Removal of the cooling load or coverage of the heating requirement should continue to be done by the radiant panel. This is the only way to ensure the benefits of the system are optimally used and the disadvantages of air systems are eliminated.

Structure of the Element

Zehnder Rittling Carboline comprises of a copper pipe which is embedded in a graphite layer. This thermal high performance element is placed inside a sheet steel cassette. The materials and their arrangement guarantee ideal heat transmission and high performance values. The radiant panel has an angled profile on the side and top. This increases the strength to create a self-bearing panel. The angled profiles are also intended for the mounting of fitting clips on the top of the panel. In addition, it is possible to use insulation, which keeps the heat in and absorbs noise (particularly effective in combination with a perforated radiant panel).

Versions

Zehnder Rittling Carboline ceiling-mounted heating and cooling systems have been specially developed for cooling and heating buildings.

Zehnder Rittling Carboline covers the entire range of grid ceilings for offices and meeting rooms, as well as schools, hospitals and operating rooms.

The elements come in five nominal standard sizes.

Grid Ceiling

Zehnder Rittling Carboline is specially tailored for use in new or existing grid ceilings. The length of the various panel elements is based on the grid size and can be up to five times the basic dimension. The use of longer panels reduces the cost of installation by up to 80% compared to standard systems available on the market, whose width is the same as their length. The special side construction makes it possible to insert the panels easily into the ceiling grid.

Surfaces

Zehnder Rittling Carboline has the option of either a smooth or perforated surface. The surface is coated with a high-quality powder baked enamel finish. Zehnder Rittling radiant ceiling panels are available in many brilliant colors and surface finishes, such as gloss or matte.

Note: Perforated surface is not available for plasterboard style.

Acoustic Absorption

As well as their cooling and heating effect, the radiant ceiling panels can also be used for acoustic absorption: the sound waves pass through the perforated surface of the radiant panel into the insulation within, where they are absorbed. This results in a significant reduction of the noise level or a reduction in the reverberation time (e.g. in open-plan offices, call centers and schools). Please contact us for detailed information on calculating the acoustics.

Technical Data

Heating andCooling Output

The following tables show the Zehnder Rittling Carboline heating and cooling output depending on the excessive and subnormal temperatures. The values of the heating output are based on DIN EN 14037, those of the cooling output on DIN EN 14240.

Note: The removal of the insulation has a positive effect on the cooling output. However, this additional output can only be added to the room with an open ceiling.

Removing the insulation increases the convection output, but only leads to a build-up of heat under the ceiling.

Minimal Mass Flow

To maintain the output shown in the table, a turbulent flow must be ensured within the pipes in the panels. This minimum mass flow depends on the lowest system temperature. When heating, this corresponds to the return water temperature. When cooling or in a combined cooling/heating mode, this corresponds to the cold water supply temperature. If the minimum mass flow per pipe is not achieved, this can result in a drop in performance of about 15%.

Pressure LossCalculation

The pressure loss, depending on the module sizes and mass flow, is shown in the diagram on the left.

CoolingThe flow temperature of cooling ceilings should be chosen so that it only falls below the dew point and hence causes condensation on the ceiling in exceptional situations (for a few hours a year). For this, a dew point monitor must be installed on each cooling ceiling. This prevents condensation by using control technology to raise the flow temperature or interrupt the supply of cold air.

Zehnder Rittling Carboline

Ceiling-mounted cooling and heating panels for grid and suspended ceilings, for the cooling and heating of buildings. The cooling and heating element comprises a sheet steel cassette and a graphite element containing a copper pipe.

The copper pipes (ø10 mm [0.394"], pipe centers 3 -15⁄16") are fitted flush in a compressed graphite panel. This allows very quick and even thermal conductivity to be achieved across the entire area of the element. This high-performance element is firmly bonded to a galvanized sheet steel cassette. The deburred pipe ends are screwed to the cassette using location brackets in order to provide reinforcement and pressure relief. The visible side is coated with high-grade polyester fine-structure paint. The sheet steel cassette is available smooth or perforated (acoustically insulating). Fixing clips are applied at various points across the sheet steel cassette.

The maximum operating temperature is 185°F, the maximum operating pressure is 145 PSIG. The output of the cooling and heating element is tested to DIN EN 14037 and DIN EN 14240 respectively.

�� With powder coating in RAL 9016 white

�� With powder coating in RAL color as required

�� Top-side insulation for thermal and acoustic insulation (optional)
