Summary

Water ceiling panel systems are mainly used to provide cooling. However, like radiant floors, such systems can be used for heating in winter and cooling in summer. The Gaz de France Research Centre funded a test campaign during two winters and one summer. A water ceiling panel system and a data acquisition system were installed in a test room. The ceiling panel system studied was made of copper pipes with rigid aluminium diffusion fins. The materials presented good heating conductivity and the ceiling radiant panel was fast-acting.
