On hot days like these, cooling down is an absolute must. Many resort to air conditioning for this purpose. However, this is often expensive to operate, noisy and leads to cold.
Surface cooling is an attractive alternative to this.
In this article, you’ll learn about the 6 advantages that surface cooling offers you.
1. you have a healthy “air conditioner”!
Surface heating systems take advantage of the fact that they work via radiation. This does not work via convection (cooling the air) as is the case with air conditioning systems. Rather, the matter (e.g. people, furniture, etc.) is illuminated with heat or coolness.
This results in comparatively low air circulation. This is the reason why especially allergy and asthma sufferers can breathe a sigh of relief. However, all other residents of the household naturally benefit as well.
2. you do not have to deal with mold!
For mold to develop in the first place, it needs two conditions: high humidity and a cold surface.
If one of the two conditions is not present, the mold infestation has no chance.
In order for the surface cooling to cool the room, a surface temperature of 19-21 degrees Celsius is already usually sufficient. This in turn means that the surfaces are never cooled down below the critical temperature of 15 degrees Celsius and thus no condensation can form.
Mold infestation thus has no chance!
3. you save energy costs!
In general, the larger the area cooled, the lower the energy consumption. Surface systems are also known as low temperature systems.
Within the group of surface cooling and surface heating systems, energy consumption can be reduced even further. The decisive factor here is the pipe routing. Systems with parallel guidance have been shown to require less energy than those with serial guidance.
4. you have free choice in your home design!
A surface cooling system is fully integrated and invisibly incorporated into the surfaces. You’ll have a free ride in furnishing and using your home and won’t have to deal with design restrictions.
You don’t have to worry about rust or mold anymore. Without visible restrictions, you can devote yourself fully to your desired home design.
5. you make a positive contribution to the environment!
Since energy does not grow on trees, but must first be extracted, it harms the environment. As long as no regenerative energies are produced, nature will have to pay the price. And the more energy required by cooling equipment to cool a room, the higher the environmental impact.
Surface cooling, like air conditioning, also requires electricity, but is much more energy efficient. Compared to conventional air conditioning systems, energy consumption can be reduced by up to 12%.
There is also the possibility of obtaining the cool water from cold generation surfaces. These can be installed, for example, under or in the basement. Thus, there are hardly any energy costs for cooling.
6. with it you can not only cool, but also heat!
In many cases, a surface cooling system is also a surface heating system. What provides a pleasant feel-good climate in the summer, equally provides a pleasant feel-good climate in the winter. Surface heating works on the same principle as surface cooling. In winter, only the system temperatures change by a few degrees Celsius.
Even in winter, panel heating has the same advantages as in summer: it heats evenly, there is hardly any air circulation and you can regularly open your windows as long as you want.
Conclusion: A surface cooling system works holistically!
This area system relies not only on low energy costs, but on many other pillars. With a surface cooling you do good for your health, you are friendly to the environment and at the same time you also have a heater for the cold days of the year.
Our surface cooling is even more energy-saving due to the special pipe routing. If you also want to benefit from energy-saving surface cooling, click here.
