Apparatus and method of heating and ventilating an enclosed area comprising a floor arranged as a number of floor zones. The method comprises providing a radiant heater spaced above each floor zone so as in use to direct heat downwards towards the floor; providing a ventilating air inlet spaced above at least part of each floor zone, the air inlet being at the same level as, or closer to, the floor than the radiant heater, the air inlet being arranged in use to draw-in a controllable quantity of air from outside of the enclosed area; providing a ventilating air outlet spaced above at least part of each floor zone, the air outlet being spaced further from the floor than the radiant heater and air inlet, the air outlet being arranged in use to extract a controllable quantity of air from inside of the enclosed area, wherein the method further comprises, for each floor zone, independently controlling the quantity of air being drawn in and extracted from said floor zone based on the sensed temperature inside and outside the enclosed space.

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).

A radiant tube heater with a burner assembly, a radiant tube assembly and a combustion air pre-heater, wherein the burner assembly comprises: a burner fuel nozzle; a plenum chamber and a pre-mixer chamber; the plenum chamber having a combustion air inlet; wherein in use: combustion air flows from said plenum chamber through an orifice to said pre-mixer where said air, is mixed with burner fuel entering said pre-mixer through said nozzle prior to being combusted at a burner head; said pre-mixer being at least partly located within said radiant tube assembly; and where in use at least part of the combustion air supplied to said plenum is preheated in said air pre-heater using residual sensible heat of the hot combustion gas products of the heater.

A heating system including at least one louver coupled with the housing of a heater including a blade and end caps on the blade for holding each louver in a fixed position during operation of the heater assembly, but also releasing the louver for adjustment in positioning relative to the axis of rotation of the louver to change air flow direction or other characteristics as desired.

An air conditioning system includes: an intake unit configured to take in return air of an indoor space from a ceiling of the indoor space; an outdoor air processing unit configured to supply outdoor air while exhausting the return air taken in via the intake unit to outdoors; an air conditioner configured to supply, as air-conditioning air, mixed air of the return air taken in via the intake unit and the outdoor air supplied by the outdoor air processing unit; and at least one radiation unit disposed in the indoor space in a manner to surround the intake unit, the radiation unit being configured to radiate heat of the air-conditioning air supplied by the air conditioner while discharging the air-conditioning air to the indoor space.

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.
