Heating and cooling with capillary tube mats
Clina Capillary Tube Mats are installed directly under the surface of one or several room
enclosing surfaces – these can be the ceiling, the walls or the floor.
For heating or cooling spaces, warm or cold water flows through the very thin capillary
tubes having outer diameters of 3.4 or 4.3 mm. The surfaces equipped with Clina mats are
maintained at an even surface temperature. They ensure a quick dissipation of the cooling
load or a quick supply of the heat requirement, mainly through radiation and partly
through convection.
Due to the large exchange surfaces, considerable amounts of energy can be transferred
draught-free and silent even at minor temperature differences between the active room
surfaces and the room air.
For COOLING purposes, Clina Capillary Tube Mats are preferentially installed either in or
on the ceiling; in this case the surface temperature of the ceiling is, depending on the
supply temperature, approx. 19 °C at only 2 to 3 K spreading between supply and return
(supply temperature = usually 16 °C; return temperature = 18 °C or 19 °C). Depending on the
type of ceiling or the way the capillary tube mats are installed, cooling capacities of up to
100 W/m2 (Δ=10 K) can be achieved for closed radiant cooling ceilings
For HEATING purposes, warm water with a temperature between 28 °C and 35 °C flows
through the Clina capillary tube system. In this case, the surface temperature of the
ceilings is at approx. 27-30 °C. That way, even during the heating phase, the radiant energy
from the user is transferred to the ceiling.
Clina capillary tube mats can be integrated into walls of various designs and used as wall
heating and wall cooling. The mats are very flexible and can be adapted to all spatial
conditions, e.g. slopes or vaults. Thanks to its flexibility and very low installation height,
this Clina system solution is ideal for building renovation.
~DIFFERENT WAYS OF INSTALLATION ~
_JOINTLESS DRYWALL CEILING _
heating and cooling ceiling with capillary tube mat ORIMAT S 10 applied on site The capillary tube mats and insulation are placed on a suspended drywall ceiling. On the visible side, there is a closed, jointless ceiling for the removal or supply of sensitive heat loads. The water circulates noiselessly in the capillary tube mats and regulates the room temperature to a large extent via radiation, partly also by convection.
~PLASTER ON CONCRETE – CEILING ~
heating and cooling ceiling with capillary tube mat OPTIMAT SB 20.00 The capillary tube mats are plastered directly underneath a concrete ceiling. On the visible side, a closed, jointless plaster ceiling is created for the dissipation or supply of sensitive heat loads. The water circulates noiselessly in the capillary tube mats and regulates the room temperature largely by radiation, partly by convection.
PLASTER ON CONCRETE – Wall
heating and cooling ceiling with capillary tube mat OPTIMAT SB 20.00 The capillary tube mats are plastered directly underneath a block or concrete wall. On the visible side, a closed, jointless plaster wall is created for the dissipation or supply of sensitive heat loads. The water circulates noiselessly in the capillary tube mats and regulates the room temperature largely by radiation, partly by convection.
