Heat transfer plate

Aluminum heat transfer plate are installed between the floor joists to provide heat transfer across the bottom of the subfloor. The round channels formed into the aluminum snugly surround the tubing and this heat transfer from the tubing with warm water through the aluminum plates greatly increases the amount of heat that is delivered and evenly distributed throughout the floor.

Comparison of floors with and without aluminum heat transfer plate

Without Aluminum heat transfer plate

Staple up without Aluminum heat transfer plate. These system will run lower than suspend tube system but hotter than plate type system due to less conductive surface.

Using Aluminum heat transfer plate

Staple up with heat transfer plates. These system will run at a lower temperature than to the addition of aluminum fins which extend the contact surface area.

Our plates are Omega-shaped (not "V" or "U"-shaped like others) and allow to snap in PEX pipe during installation, making it much faster and easier. This channel shape offers more contact with tubing than U-shaped plates and has a better heat transfer.

Increase Radiant Floor Heating System's efficiency and response time.
Save time and labor - Omega-shaped plates allow for a 1-person installation.

Comfort:

Nothing comes even close to the comfort of a radiant heat system. The technology works much the same as how the sun heats your body. Heat is dispensed evenly from the floor, but does not rise because we are heating the objects in a given space, not the air. It’s a natural feel and you can enjoy a warm chair and warm floors while walking barefoot in the wintertime.

Clean:

Aluminum Heat Transfer Plates systems are just about hypoallergenic. Since the air is not forced, you don’t have to be concerned about the heating system distributing pollen, dust and other allergens in the home.

Energy Efficient:

On the whole, they are more efficient than baseboard heating and forced-air heating. With forced air-heating, up to 30 percent of the heat is lost due to ductwork alone. Again, hot air rises. Therfore, when heating a builing envelope with hot air, the space must be filled with hot air from the ceiling down until it reaches your actual living space. With radiant heat, the taller the ceilings, the better efficiency gains in comparison.

Whisper Quiet:

Without blowers, there are no noisy fans, and the home is peaceful.

Attractive:

This underfloor heating system eliminates inconvenient floor and wall registers.

Zoning:

Aluminum Heat Transfer Plates systems are easy to zone and offer room-to-room temperature control with multiple thermostats.

Versatility:

Aluminum Heat Transfer Plates can use a wide variety of fuel sources to heat the liquid, including solar water heaters, geothermal heat pumps, high efficiency gas boilers, wood gasification boilers or oil boilers.

The following flooring types may be installed above this type of system:

Nail-down solid hardwood
Floating hardwood
Engineered hardwood
Glue-down wood flooring
Carpet (broadloom or tiles)
Vinyl (sheet or tiles)
Ceramic tile
Ceiling
Between the floor joists to provide heat transfer across the bottom of the plywood.

Pex tubing heat transfer plates

Pex Tubing Heat Transfer Plates are formed aluminum plates specifically designed to pro- vide excellent heat transfer between radiant heating pipes and floors or other surfaces.

Pex Tubing Heat Transfer Plates are typically used when installing radiant tubing under existing floorsorin new installations with wood or other floor materials to be placed on top of the floor base. They may also be used to transfer heat to various other mechanically secure surfaces in a wall or ceiling installation.

Pex Tubing Heat Transfer Plates are a critical component of a properly designed radiant system increasing the efficiency and the reaction time of the system.

Good radiant heating is done at low water temperatures and in the case of staple-up, that means with plates.

Radiantec heat transfer plates

HEAT TRANSFER – The purpose of your radiant heating system will be to make heat in the form of warm water (in an efficient manner, we hope) and then transfer that heat to your floor. Some process must take that heat away from the tubing and apply it to the underside of the floor so that the floor can heat the area above. Aluminum is a material that transfers heat exceptionally well but it is expensive, and its use should be carefully balanced against other methods of doing the same thing, and its application should be optimized for performance and cost effectiveness.

NO ALUMINUM vs. FULL COVERAGE OF ALUMINUM – Controlled experiments have shown that covering the tubing with medium/thin gauge aluminum plates causes the system to put out about 60% more heat when operated at the same temperature.

If you use no aluminum at all, you must either raise temperature of the fluid in the tubes to a very high level, use more tubing, or both. It is not desirable to operate plastic heat exchanger tubing at high temperatures for reasons of safety, efficiency and service life.

OMEGA Heat Transfer Plates

An efficient method to distribute radiant heat from PEX tubing.

HWALU OMEGA Heat Transfer Plates offer an efficient method of distributing radiant heat from PEX tubing. Made in China from a mill finish aluminum. The channel is a wrap around omega shap (Ω) for a snug fit that holds the tubing in place very effectively in above floor systems such as the RHT Floor Panel System.

Aluminum radiant floor heat transfer plates

Aluminum radiant floor heat transfer plates are necessary for most radiant heating installations that are not encased in concrete. They improve the conductivity of heat out of the radiant tubing and increase the surface area of the system to speed heat transfer to the building.

Radiant floor heating systems like to tout that they are the "most efficient" method of heating a home. The high efficiency of radiant systems only happen due to the low required water temperatures to satisfy the heating load. So the lower the required water temperature to heat your home the more energy savings you will enjoy. The right heat transfer plate can mean money in your pocket.

Aluminum heat emission fins

Aluminum heat emission fins are used in “staple up systems” where the floor is warmed by installing tubing below the floor. Then, the heat transfer plates wrap around the tube and attach to the bottom of the floor by using a staple gun.

Aluminum heat emission fins perform three important functions:

To help to carry heat away from the tubing and distribute it through the joist space and into the floor (Heat transfer).

They support the Pex tubing.

They greatly reduce downward heat loss (backloss).

Many people ask us how the aluminum heat emission fins should be installed. To start with, you can use these rule of thumb guidelines:

If heat loss downward (backloss) is entirely wasted, cover the tubes entirely and insulate well. Unheated basements and crawl spaces are a couple of examples. If heat loss downward is useful to another space, then a reduction in aluminum by half should be considered.

The tubing should be covered entirely if the flooring material is thick or carpeted.

If low operating temperatures are desired, as for solar heating applications or for very high efficiency, cover the tubing entirely.

If there is any area that requires more heat than another (baths/greatrooms), the tubing should be covered entirely.

hydronic heat transfer plates

hydronic heat transfer plates offer a number of advantages:

They allow for a more even heat distribution across the flooring surface if compared to staple-up tubing installation.

They serve as a support for PEX tubing and eliminate the need for additional installation accessories.

They allow for a lower fluid supply temperature, thus increasing the radiant heating system’s efficiency and reducing the costs of heating.

Stamped Heat Transfer Plates are a thinner, and are commonly used in sandwich-type radiant floors, where PEX tubing is placed between the finished floor (i.e. laminate, hardwood, etc.) and the subfloor. These plates are wide and short, which makes them ideal for such projects and allows for more versatility in installation.

The following image illustrates the heat transfer process during joist space installation using heat transfer plates. The image speaks for itself and gives very good reasons to consider using the heat transfer plates wherever it is possible.
