Hot water radiant panels
The Illustrated Guide to Mechanical Building Services, Third Edition (BG 31/2017), by David Bleicher, published by BSRIA in 2017, states in relation to hot water radiant panels: ‘In commercial/factory type environments, these usually consist of a serpentine pipework arrangement with a metal backing panel from which heat is radiated. Alternatively, conventional pressed steel radiators of a suitable type can be installed in such a way as to provide an almost entirely radiant output.’
