Description of the Radiant Tubing Screen

The Radiant Tubing screen has two purposes:

•Help select the tube size and required length of tubing in linear feet.

•Indicate how much supplemental heat is required, if any, to maintain the required room temperature.

The Radiant Tubing screen is divided into three panes: Heat Loss – Heated Area, Floor Profile, and Tubing Calculator. Each pane shows values already entered into individual boxes. You cannot change the values in the grayed-out boxes. These are automatically entered and are based on the data you entered for the heat loss calculations. You can, however, change the values in the white boxes.
