What is BS EN 14037-3 - Prefabricated ceiling-mounted radiant panels for space heating about?
BS EN 14037 discusses free-hanging heating and cooling surfaces for water with a temperature below 120°C. BS EN 14037-3 is the third part of BS EN 14037 multi-series and discusses the rating method and evaluation of radiant thermal output.
BS EN 14037-3 describes the procedure to determine the rated thermal output (ΦD) and the mean surface temperature (trp) of prefabricated ceiling-mounted radiant panels for space heating. Prefabricated ceiling-mounted radiant panels exchange heat mainly by radiation.
Who is BS EN 14037-3 - Prefabricated ceiling-mounted radiant panels for space heating for?
BS EN 14037-3 on prefabricated ceiling-mounted radiant panels for space heating is useful for:
- Radiant panel heater manufacturers
- Heater manufacturers
- Design engineers
- Quality control personnel
Why should you use BS EN 14037-3- Prefabricated ceiling-mounted radiant panels for space heating?
Heated and chilled ceiling radiant panels falling into the field of application hereinafter stated are traded based on their thermal output. For evaluating and comparing different heated and chilled ceiling surfaces it is, therefore, necessary to refer to a heating stipulated value.
BS EN 14037-3 provides you with the test methods for testing the mean surface temperature and the emissivity of the panel that includes the determination of the mean surface temperature of the active length and the determination of the emissivity. BS EN 14037-3 guides you with thermal output conversion and with the evaluation of the thermal radiant output of the tested panel.
BS EN 14037-3 helps you determine the rating of thermal output and evaluate the thermal output.
