Radiant Heating and Cooling Systems - Lab Test
Project Number ET11PGE1081 Organization PG&E End-use HVAC Sector Residential Project Year(s) 2010 - 2012This project was phase 1 of 2 that focused on the development and demonstration of a residential radiant HVAC system with peak load shifting on the cooling system. The major components of the system include radiant panels, water chiller, water heater, pumps and controls, and the hydronic distribution system. This report covers the laboratory testing of the radiant panel prototypes to determine if the design would be adequate for the residential heating and cooling loads expected in the field for California hot/dry climates in the central valley and desert climate zones.
Gas Technology Institute was the lead on this project. PG&E supported on this project.
