SPC heat pipes - application notes
SPC have produced application notes covering the application of heat pipes to displacement ventilation/chilled ceiling systems (App001) and the use of heat pipes in enhanced dehumidification (App002).
Raising The Ceiling On Radiant Heating
SPC has introduced an improved version of its Thermatile radiant ceiling panel. The Thermatile Plus is an efficient radiant heating system that can be used invisibly or as an architectural feature.
Curtains For The Cold
SPC has introduced a stylish new air curtain which is simple to install and can be easily maintained by non-specialist staff. The Airdor Elite provides powerful overhead heating to doorways and entran
S and P Coil Products Limited's (SPC) patented heat pipes can recover and recycle that heat without fear of contamination from the waste product itself.
What's more, a heat pipe can be treated to withstand corrosive environments with minimal loss of effectiveness.
Typical environments include swimming pools, HVAC, drying processes, paint-spray booths, laundries, kitchens etc.
SPC's patented heat pipes automatically remove heat and transfer it.
The effectiveness of this process can be as high as 75%, yet there are negligible running costs and the set-up costs are minimal.
Replacing lost heat energy is often done at considerable cost.
Heat pipe heat recovery modules from SPC are a cost effective method of maintaining indoor air quality while reducing heating loads.
The heat pipe is a passive device which only requires a temperature gradient in order to function and so has no significant running costs.
By automatically absorbing thermal energy from the outgoing air stream, warming the cold air before it enters, it provides capital savings which can more than offset the cost of adding heat pipes to the design.
The heat pipe provides a free heat to the incoming air, providing capital savings and cutting energy costs.
Maintenance is minimal.
Other benefits include minimum installation and start up costs when compared to alternative methods currently in use.
Heat pipes have no moving parts.
They are highly effective.
There is low air-pressure drop.
They allow easy drainage of condensation.
There is no direct energy requirement.
They are totally passive and have zero cross contamination.
They have low air-resistance for minimal pressure drop, they are long-lasting and environmentally safe.
