2.4 GENERAL INFORMATION
2.5 GENERAL INFORMATION ON LOGISTICS
•
PAD INDOOR is an electric radiant heating
system;
•
PAD INDOOR consists of a thin mat,
electrically powered at very low voltage,
that self- modulates electrical consumption
and self- adjusts maximum surface
temperature;
•
PAD INDOOR is not an amorphous thin film
extruded resistor in cable, traditional or
carbon conductor;
•
The heating of the mat takes place
thanks to the molecular vibration of
the technopolymer making up the
semiconductor mat;
•
Thermal expansion of the nanoparticles
gradually reduces electrical absorption,
thereby self-limiting the surface
temperature;
•
Heated surfaces do not run the risk of
overheating when covered;
•
The maximum surface temperature is
compatible with the surface temperature
limits of the flooring currently in force (UNI
EN 1264);
•
PAD INDOOR is a radiant system that can
be combined with very low inertia finishes,
with final thicknesses limited to just 15 mm
(dry finish with plasterboard wall panel,
or application of ceramic coating with
bonding);
•
The response times of the PAD INDOOR
system are the same as those of a similar
hydronic radiant system, and depend on
the mass to be energised and the average
starting radiant temperature. Normally, in
a residential environment, the wait for the
design surface temperature to be reached
is about 15...20 minutes for a very low inertia
finish;
•
The PAD INDOOR system, like any radiant
system, must provide for the interruption of
heat conduction in the direction opposite
to the radiant transfer into the room. For
this reason, it is essential that the surface
on which the system will be installed is
adequately insulated. If there are no specific
requirements, provide an insulating layer
of at least 20 mm EPS from the rest of the
building envelope;
•
The mat is produced in 30-metre rolls, each
of which is tested to verify the nameplate
power consumption;
•
Check that the boxes have not been
damaged, are not wet or damp and above
all that they do not have a manufacturing
date prior to 5 years from the year of
installation;
•
hen opening the package, avoid using
blades or cutters to avoid unintentionally
cutting into the product contents;
•
Protect against UV radiation (like all
polymers it is photosensitive);
