An insulated heating-unit cover having an opening to permit air to circulate around the heating-source when a vent disposed at the top of the cover is opened, allowing heat into a space. The cover can include a heating-unit temperature sensor disposed within a space covered by the cover and a controller in wireless communication with a space temperature sensor located at a distance away from the heating-unit. The controller can be configured to operate an actuator such that the vent is open when the space temperature sensor indicates that the ambient temperature is below a set point temperature and such that the vent is closed when the ambient temperature is greater than the set point temperature. The controller can communicate with a plurality of other similar controllers and a central server to effect changes in the output of a central heating source coupled to a plurality of individual heating-units.

A radiant heating apparatus having a tube, a partial enclosure device and a heating wing. The heating wing has a wing proximal end that connects to the partial enclosure device's exterior surface. The heating wing also has a wing distal end that obliquely extends outwardly in relation to the partial enclosure device and toward a first direction. The heating wing, except at the wing proximal end, and the partial enclosure device's exterior surface are spaced apart so the heating wing re-directs second direction heat energy in the first direction.

Novel method of shielding hot surface and improving panel heaters (1). The method relates to new system of shield comprising of shield (3) and corner pieces (2) that not only cover the hot surface of panel heaters (1) but also facilitates second path of convection currents for space heating by maintaining optimum current space.

The invention relates to a radiator (1) comprising a base body (2), which has substantially the shape of an elongated rectangle; with a first heating water connection (5) arranged on the rear side on the base body (2); with a second heating water connection (6) arranged on the rear side on the base body (2); and with a heat insulation plate (4), having substantially the shape of an elongated rectangle, arranged on the rear side on the base body (2), which heat insulation plate has a cavity (9) facing the base body (2).

A heating panel including a thermally conductive (e.g. metal) layer, a laminar heating element disposed over a framing-facing side of the thermally conductive layer, an insulation layer disposed over the laminar heating element, and a room-facing surface layer disposed over at least the room-facing side of the thermally conductive layer. A method for heating a room may include installing at least one heating panel on a ceiling of the room and providing power to the heating element to generate heat that radiates into the room. The panel may be part of a heating system including a controller, such as a thermostat, for regulating power to the heating panel. A plurality of heating panels or a plurality of heating zones in one or more of the panels may be independently controllable.
