LOW SURFACE TEMPERATURE HEATING

LOW SURFACE TEMPERATURE HEATING

In any building – from a home to a public space - where the occupants or visitors are young, elderly or vulnerable, low surface temperature heating is either required by legislation or is a sensible consideration – or both.

As a result of legislation and increased awareness of the potential dangers of high temperature heating surfaces, the production of low surface temperature products has become a valuable and growing niche market.

So it’s encouraging when a totally new approach to a problem comes onto the market and even more so when that new approach has been thought through from ‘a-z’ and offers a total package that a developer can specify and install knowing it will meet the requirements of the building or homes concerned perfectly.

Leading electric heating specialist Ecolec has launched a pioneering new heating system based on a very specific requirement for a space saving, electric low surface temperature panel radiator system. The requirement involved a need for a wireless controlled heating system that allowed individual room temperatures to be controlled and for a maximum of 55°C (+/- 1°C) surface temperature of the panels to be achieved. It’s what Ecolec calls ‘Safe to Touch’ heating at 55°C. It can just as easily be provided to hit a maximum temperature of no more than 43°C (+/- 1°C) to meet the strict requirements of the NHS Guidance Note for ‘Safe hot water and surface temperature’.

 />Having installed the system and proved that it worked perfectly, with incredible flexibility and the ability to control the warmth in each room individually, it was clear that the system could work in a wide range of other applications – being perfect for nurseries, schools, rest and care homes, healthcare buildings, commercial premises and public areas and of course homes and apartments. In particular it has already seen interest from developers of sheltered housing and assisted living apartment developments but would be equally relevant for any form of housing where potentially vulnerable people might be living, working or visiting.</p>
