A hydronic system includes a partition, a first conduit embedded in a first side of the partition, a second conduit embedded in a second side of the partition, a first sheet of finishing material covering the first conduit, a second sheet of finishing material covering the second conduit, and at least one valve and at least one pump. The at least one valve and at least one pump are configured to control a flow of a fluid inside the first conduit and the second conduit. When the hydronic system is operating in an isolating mode, the fluid flows in a first closed loop through the first conduit and the fluid flows in a second closed loop through the second conduit. When the hydronic system is operating in a heat exchange mode, the fluid flows between the first conduit and the second conduit in a third closed loop.

A device for heating a room (2) in a building by means of underfloor heating, the floor comprising pipe loops (4) for circulation of a hot medium, preferably water. The floor has a subfloor (1) and an upper floor (8) at a mutual distance, so that an air-filled chamber (16) is formed between them. In the outer wall (3) of the room there are inlet openings (7) for fresh air, which by means of negative pressure ventilation in the room (2) flows into the chamber (16), over the pipe loops (4) to heat up, and out through outlet openings (9) in the upper floor (8). The heat absorbed from the pipe loops (4) goes partly up through the upper floor (8), partly out into the room (2) as heated air. The pipe loops (4) extend transversely of the direction of movement of the air from the inlet (7) to the outlet (9) and are partly cast in concrete on the bottom of the chamber (16).

The present disclosure relates to a heater cover assembly for baseboard heater units and components thereof. The components include convertible end caps having cutouts and cover plates that can be used with baseboard heating units. The cutouts accommodate pipes or other obstructions that would otherwise prevent or hinder installation of the end cap.

A concealed heating system that includes one or more heating units. Each heating unit has a frame that enables the heating units to be stacked against one another and to be attached to framing members of a wall. Each heating unit also includes a housing that is attached to the frame. The housing extends into the wall to define a recess portion through which a heat supply pipe with heat-dissipating fins attached thereto extends.

A trench heater includes a case, a connecting unit, and a sub-assembly unit. The sub-assembly unit includes a baffle, a first junction panel, a second junction panel, and an electrical heating unit. The electrical heating unit includes a heating unit that comprises a heating element, a body, and a granular heat transfer medium. Multiple trench heaters may be connected end to end to create longer lengths via a modular platform.

Building heating and/or cooling methods are provided that can include: distributing fluid from within conduits within a concrete floor of a building to conduits within grounds surrounding and/or supporting the building; diverting at least some of the fluid exiting the conduits within the grounds surrounding and/or supporting the building to a dehumidifier operably associated with the interior of the building; and returning the at least some of the fluid from the dehumidifier to the conduits within the grounds surrounding and/or supporting the building.

A cladding panel that collects and/or emits thermal energy, which includes: a first panel; a second panel with an extrados adhered to an intrados of the first panel, forming a leaktight seal, with a low-relief channel, the channel being attached to the intrados of the first panel to form a conduit; an inlet connector for heat-conducting fluid, connected to a first end of the channel; and an outlet connector for heat-conducting fluid, connected to a second end of the channel, wherein the first panel is made of calibrated laminated ceramic with a flat, smooth intrados and a flat, smooth extrados and has a uniform thickness of 3-6 mm, and the second panel is made of waterproof heat-insulating plastic that is stable up to 120 C.

Building heating and/or cooling methods of the present disclosure can include continuously distributing fluid from within conduits within a concrete floor of a building to conduits within grounds surrounding and/or supporting the building.

The invention is a system for heating, cooling or both heating and cooling a room. The system includes a channel layer with a first and a second outer surface and a plurality of adjoined waterproof channels disposed therebetween. Each channel is configured to allow a fluid to pass through. The channel layer is configured to be in thermal communication with a room. The system also includes spacing elements configured to space the channel layer a distance from a wall of the room.
