A temperature control system for controlling the temperature of a room and a composite element for a temperature control system.

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.

There is provided a system for securing a tube heater to a structure, the tube heater having a burner and a radiant tube extending to an exhaust outlet. The system includes an elongate canopy with an exhaust end securable to the exhaust outlet, an opposed burner end securable adjacent to the burner, and a reflector extending there between. An exhaust hanger is rigidly coupled to the structure and to the canopy proximate the exhaust end, and rigidly receives the exhaust outlet. A burner hanger is coupled to the canopy proximate the burner end and is slidably coupled to the structure. The burner hanger receives the radiant tube therethrough. The burner hanger allows the burner and burner end of the canopy to slide relative to the structure to accommodate thermal expansion of the radiant tube and the canopy from the exhaust end towards the burner end.

An electric radiator is described, having a housing, delimiting an upper compartment and a lower compartment, at least one heating member installed in the upper compartment and capable of emitting thermal radiation when it is supplied with electrical power, at least one electrical energy storage device, an attachment device enabling the removable installation of the electrical energy storage device in the lower compartment, in such a way that the electrical energy storage device is capable of varying between a connection configuration and a disconnection configuration, and a heat protection shield located between the heating member and the electrical energy storage device and blocking infrared rays while allowing the movement of air by convection, which are emitted in the direction of the electrical energy storage device.

A baseboard heating system mounted proximate a juncture of a wall and a floor of a room. The system includes a length of longitudinal piping for the passage of a heated liquid there through and radiating heat fins surrounding the length of longitudinal piping. A heat reflective metal backplate is mounted to the wall behind the length of longitudinal piping and the radiating heat fins. A baseboard heater cover is adapted to cover the piping and heat fins either as an original heater cover or a replacement. The heater cover is supported by the floor and extends at least the length of the longitudinal piping and the radiating heat fins. The heater cover is removably, adjustably and magnetically coupled to the heat reflective metal backplate. The heater cover may be selectively removed to access the longitudinal piping and radiating heat fins and be easily adjusted for proper placement.

A device to direct the warm air exiting from a Baseboard Heater further away from it laterally in order to avoid the warm air rising behind a curtain that is hanging above the Baseboard Heater.
