Hello Guys,
I was wondering what your experience is with radiant cooling, whether it is in the slab, wall or even ceiling, or all. How do you take care of the condensation? How do you Control it all? What do YOU do?
I have been involved in a couple of radiant cooling projects in the past, but those were limited to slab. In those cases we limited the cooling water temperature to 62°F to deal with the condensation, but this would force me to use two stage cooling.
Maybe I shouldn't lower the water temperature any lower as 62°F, because it would make the surface of the floor too cool to be comfortable.
Maybe I need to run different water temperatures for the floor than I need for the walls or ceiling. I don't know.
I have heard of completely radiantly cooled buildings. What do I need to know?
Radiant Cooling should be one of the topics covered at Wetstock.
Thanks for any input in advance.
Mike
