A hydraulic heating and/or cooling system hydraulic manifold is constructed in a modular manner with a main module (2). At least one load module (4) is connectable to the main module (2) and includes a hydraulic connection (22, 24) for a load circuit, and a closed-loop control device (26, 28) controlling flow through the load and for connection to an identically configured further load module (4). The at least one load module (4) includes a circuit board (44) which extends between a first (34) and a second axial end (36) of the load module (4) and which at its first (34) and second end (36) have electrical couplings (50, 52) which correspond to one another. The electrical coupling (52) at the second end (36) of the circuit board (44) can electrically conductively engage with an electrical coupling (50) at the first end (34) of the further identical load module (4).

A modular thermal transfer emitter configured to be compatible with installation for indoor radiative heating and cooling. For example, modular emitters radiatively and conductively heat and/or cool an interior space in a building using a heat exchanger and tubing through which thermal fluid flows. These modular emitters can be arranged within a suspended ceiling, walls, flooring of a residential and commercial building. A system for exchanging heat from components can include multiple heat exchangers adjacent to the components and one or more pumps connected to the heat exchangers. The pumps can generate water flow that brings the heat to a secondary heat exchanger. Because the modular emitters can have a large area (e.g., spanning a significant percentage of the ceiling or wall) a desired amount of heat transfer can be achieved without requiring a large temperature difference between the thermal fluid and the ambient surroundings.

The present invention relates to a fluid circulation type heating device which circulates fluid by means of heating and cooling and, more particularly, to a fluid circulation type heating device provided with overpressure protection element which can prevent pressure increase of a circulation path of a fluid. The fluid circulation type heating device according to the present invention for achieving the aforementioned purpose comprises a circulation line, a heat radiation member installed on the circulation line, a boiler which heats and expands a fluid, a storage tank which stores the fluid therein and supplies the same to the boiler, a controller which controls the boiler, and a housing which accommodates the boiler and the controller. In addition, the device has an opening formed in fluid communication with the storage tank or the circulation line, and further comprises an overpressure protection element which blocks the opening, wherein the overpressure protection element is configured to prevent fluid from passing through and allowing a vapor of the fluid to pass through, thereby dropping the pressure of the storage tank and the circulation line. The fluid circulation type heating device according to the present invention discharges, to the outside, steam from the inside of a circulation path and does not discharge fluid to the outside, thereby preventing overpressure loaded onto the fluid circulation path of a heating device. In addition, should the heating device fall over, it is possible to prevent fluid from being discharged to the outside. Furthermore, it is possible to prevent external foreign material from being introduced into the circulation path, thereby preventing damages of components or generation of odor, due to contamination of fluid caused from the external foreign material.

A panel, for retaining a heating or cooling tube relative to a substrate, has a standoff extending from a primary flap, wherein the standoff includes a tube contacting surface. A lateral fold extends from the standoff and includes a jaw having a tube retaining surface, wherein the tube contacting surface and the tube retaining surface are located to define a tube retaining channel in a closed position of the jaw. The panel can be formed of a single piece of sheet metal, wherein the sheet metal and configuration of the panel bias the jaw to the closed position.

Disclosed may be an intermediate surface for supporting a small paver, wherein the surface can also be used to exchange heat with the pavers. In one embodiment, the apparatus may be a tray defined by a frame with a lattice for supporting pavers. The tray preferably features a tubing track throughout the lattice to accommodate heat exchange tubing. In operation the tray may be positioned above a pedestal or directly on a subsurface. In embodiment, the tray may be outfitted with insulation and a metal plate so that heat may be exchanged with pedestals via fluid passing through tubing installed throughout the lattice. In a preferred embodiment, the tray features a slot in its corners for receiving a locking disk or locking slider.

The invention relates to the field of heat exchange, namely, to the systems for heating/warming of premises with several heat exchange contours and common system of heat carrier distribution and control. The technical result is increase of temperature regularity of heat carrier distributed from the pressure header into the separate heat exchange contours. The essence of the invention is that the heating-mixing device of a liquid heating system contains the distributive pressure and return headers, having the input end and the output end, as well as side offsets located along the headers, the circulatory pump, the intake nozzle of which is connected with the return header, and the delivery oneis connected with the pressure header. The headers are connected together by means of the bypass nozzle. At that the device is equipped with the block of electrical control, and on the input end of each header the temperature sensor and the thermostat are sequentially installed, being electrically connected to the control block, at that the inlet in each header is connected to the source of warmed heat carrier. According to the invention, the intake nozzle of the pump is connected with the output end of the return header, and the delivery nozzle is connected with the input end of the pressure header. The bypass nozzle connects the output end of the pressure header and the input end of the return header, at that the return header is located along the pressure one, and the input end of one header is located opposite the output end of another header.

A support structure for a heating or cooling system includes a plurality of projections designed to be capable of retaining one or more thermal elements positioned adjacent thereto. The projections are positioned so as to form a first set of substantially parallel undulating channels, each channel having one of the projections forming at least a part of the inner radius of each undulation, with each projection having a recess formed in a side wall thereof facing said channel. The undulations of the channel ensure that a thermal element positioned in the channel will make contact with the projections each time it has to bend around one, without requiring spacing of the projections to squeeze the thermal element. The thermal element can thus be held securely without any play (unwanted lateral movement) in a channel that is slightly wider than the thermal element. Recesses in the channels at the contact points also restrict movement in the vertical direction, thus preventing the thermal element from popping out of the channel, while not requiring any restriction narrower than the thermal element.

A planting system having a plurality of potting trays that can be interconnected in a modular fashion to create a multitude of different configurations. Each potting tray has a plurality of holes operatively connected with a conduit through which plumbing can be incorporated into the planting system to water plants in the potting trays via the plurality of holes. A plurality of pedestals may be used to elevate the planting system. Lateral braces may be used to interconnect the plurality of pedestals.

A modular thermal panel can include a heat exchanger having connected top and bottom plates with channels formed there between for receiving a heat exchange fluid. An architectural tile (e.g., a paver, stone, acoustic tile, or any other architectural element) can rest on the top of the modular thermal panel, while an insulator panel is positioned below the modular thermal panel. The heat exchanger can transfer heat between the architectural tile and the heat exchange fluid to either cool or heat the architectural panel. Additional implementations include heat transfer systems including such modular thermal panels, and methods of collecting and utilizing thermal energy using such modular thermal panels.
