Here are the notes that participants from the first Gathering of Wetheads (November 23, 2002) handed in during the day.

From Aaron Ourada RADIANT COOLING EXPLORATION. Why not? (tubing’s already there!):

Pipe condensor/compressor to refrigerant to water flat-plate
heat exchanger.

Use chilled water coils instead of DX coils for air handlers

Make sure air handler is multi-speed or variable speed

Use a buffer tank between cooling load heat exchanger and
other loads (volumetric boiler loop)

Same injection piping/tubing, etc. used with cooling

Controls:

Humidistat runs air handler on very low speed for dehumidification only

First-stage cooling – radiant – run only a few degrees below setpoint. Need to experiment with threshold on floors

High speed on air handler used for second stage of cooling if and when needed

Unanswered questions:

How many BTUs of cooling can we could on?

How will it feel and will customers pay for it?

What is the minimum surface temperature in a floor application?

How much could we downsize the air side of the system?
