Abstract:
1. A hydronic radiant flooring heating system comprising: a pipe having a plurality of pipe sections arranged substantially parallel to one another along just a first axis, a second axis perpendicular to the first axis, the pipe to carry a heated liquid to radiantly heat a flooring under which the pipe is situated; and a grid of a thermally conductive material situated relative to the pipe sections, the grid having a first portion substantially parallel to one another along the first axis and a second portion substantially parallel to one another along the second axis, the first portion of the grid having a first spacing that is less than a second spacing of the second portion of the grid, such that heating of the flooring under which the pipe and the grid are situated is substantially uniform, wherein the heating of the flooring directly over the pipe sections results from heat thermally conducting upwards from the pipe, wherein the heating of the flooring not directly over any of the pipe sections results from heat thermally conducting from the pipe sideways along the second portion of the grid and then upwards from both the first portion of the grid and the second portion of the grid, and wherein the first spacing being closer than the second spacing helps ensure the heating of the flooring not directly over any of the pipe sections.
