Experimental Radiant Cooling
|
In the spring of the year 2000, I designed and
installed a cold- water radiant cooling system in my
house that performed beyond my expectations. I
circulated 56 degree well water through my existing
radiant floor heating system. This cooled my floors
off to approximately 68 degrees. The first question
everyone asks is "is that enough to cool off your
whole house?" The answer is not completely.

Heated & Chilled Countertops
|
As the outside temperature approached 80 degrees
|
the temperature inside my house started to rise. I then
installed 2 cold water-fan driven heat exchangers,
one for each floor with separate thermostats
providing automatic zoned comfort, these exchangers
are what packs the punch in this cooling system, they
provide air movement and a greater capacity for
cooling and they also help to remove humidity. The
temperature inside my house stays below 70 degrees.
The level of comfort with radiant cooling is much
better than forced-air conditioning that chill the
air and then distributes it with those dusty ducts.
With radiant cooling all the objects in the room
become much cooler, making it feel like a cool spring
day.
