Domestic heating systems
- overview |
| |
| There are numerous factors that need to be considered
when designing a heating system, e.g. the lifestyle and age
of the people who will use the system, the buildings construction
and location and the actual design of the system . The key purpose
of this section is to highlight specific areas of heating design
that have an effect on the systems operating efficiency and
long term running costs. |
| |
| |
 |
 |
The intention is to encourage those involved
with specification or installation to adopt best practice principals
for the design and purchase of components for domestic heating
systems, which are critical to Energy Efficiency. |
| |
| This section is continually under development
and aims to provide relevant information on the availability
and installation of radiators. Should you have any information
that you wish to contribute to the development of this section

CheSS
central heating system specifications CheSS - Central
Heating System Specifications, was produced in response to
a request from the Heating Strategy Group of the Energy Efficiency
Partnership for Homes. It gives current recommendations for
good practice for the energy efficiency of domestic wet central
heating systems. |

Installation
of controls for heating systems
One of the most difficult tasks in the design and installation
of a traditional heating system with stored hot water, is
to get the hydronic design correct, Elson have developed the
'Control System Manifold' to overcome this problem. |

Central
heating design considerations The main reason that someone
has central heating installed is to ensure that they and their
family are provided with plenty of hot water and warmth at
a level to which they can remain comfortable. This section
aims to provide relevant information on some of the key factors
that will influence the design of central heating systems. |

Calculating
heatloss from a room Before we can consider selecting
heat emitters for a particular area it is necessary to calculate
the heat loss from that area. An emitter can then be selected
which provides an output, to match the heatloss from the area.
This section outlines the heatloss calculation process. |

|
Calculation
of actual radiator outputs Radiator catalogues, list
output figures, which have been obtained from controlled laboratory
tests, using a standard installation criteria. Deviate from
this criteria and the engineer will need to calculate a new
corrected output figure. |
