Application
Sargasso Radiant Panels sit in a ceiling grid,
or can be suspended from the ceiling, and are
supplied with hot water from a heat source. They
form part of a 2 pipe ‘wet’ heating system. The
hot water is fed to the Sargasso Radiant Panels
and approximately 85% less water is required
compared to a traditional radiator heating system.
The benefits of this are that the system heats the
occupants up much quicker than a traditional
radiator system. Cost savings in running such a
system are realised because of the lower water
content and faster heat up of the radiant panels.
Further energy savings are possible through
zoning so that only occupied areas are heated.
Sargasso is primarily designed to be installed as
part of a suspended ceiling, but it can also be
installed directly on or suspended from the ceiling.
Suitable for use in Micro T system and standard
T-Grid ceiling ceilings. Please note that Sargasso
is compatible with regular ceiling profiles, but not
compatible with Tegular or Microlook ceilings.
Suitable for installation from gripple wires (not
supplied). Panels longer than 1200mm will require
6 fixing locations.
These products are designed for use on standard
two-pipe pumped central heating systems.
Pipe connections are 10mm and may be used as
either flow or return.
The product must be installed in line with best
plumbing practices and with reference to industry
standards, such as the CIBSE Domestic Heating
Design Guide B1: 2016. Isolating valves (not
supplied) should be fitted to system flow and
return connections. Failure to fit isolating valves
may mean that the product is not serviceable in
the event of failure.
