[EnergyPlus_Support] Heated surfaces
Hello anyone,
I have set up a LOW TEMP RADIANT SYSTEM:HYDRONIC system, using heated
surfaces. Everything works fine, but I have a question relating to
the surface temperature of the heated surfaces.
I am using a boiler (Flow 80, return 70) to serve the pipe coils in
the heated surfaces. The coils are spaced fairly closely at 200mm.
The heated surface has a metal plate front material and 100mm backing
insulation. The maximum surface temperature I have seen for the
heated surfaces is around 60, whilst I would have expected it to
approach the mean water temperature of 75.
Not knowing what surface temperatures are likely makes it difficult
to predict the required area of heated surface.
Could anybody help on this.
