how it
works:
hypocaust heaters are an extension of the tile
stove in the form of surface heaters in walls and floors. the source of
heat ist located in the center of the house. air as a carrier of heat
circulates by way of gravity or a ventilator in a closed pipe system and
heats the radiating surfaces of fire-clay panels.
- healthy room temperature with warmth you
can feel
- fulfils the strictest ecological
criteria in regard to production, operation and disposal
- the ideal solution for environmentally-concerned people who care about the quality of life and want to build with good value for their money
origin and
use in the past:
hypocaust heating systems are known
mainly from their common use in roman baths and villas. in these
installations, flue gases were channeled from a heat source outside (präfurnium)
to a hollow space under the floor (hypocaustum) where they mixed with the
air and warmed the walls by travelling along clay canals (tubuli) which
were open underneath.
