AI Thread Summary
Radiant flooring, or underfloor heating, primarily utilizes electrical resistance heaters or circulated water to provide warmth. Users seeking more specific information should clarify their queries, as general resources may not address particular concerns. For detailed design criteria and installation instructions, consulting manufacturer websites is recommended. It's essential to consider standard heat loss prevention methods, including managing conduction, convection, and radiation losses. Understanding these elements is crucial for effective radiant heating system implementation.

I have heard about this term called radiant flooring, i don't know exactly what it is can anyone here explain me about radiant flooring.

That link seemed pretty specific. The most common systems in use are electrical resistance heaters or circulated water heat. What exactly do you want to know?

You need to be specific about the lack of specificity.
 
If you are looking for specific design criteria, you'll be wise to do an online search and seek some manufacturer websites...same for specific installation instructions...

all standard criteria for heat loss prevention still apply...handling conduction, convection and radiation losses...
 
Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'
I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
