Benefits of technology

[0009] It is therefore an object of the invention to provide a hydronic heating system that is rapidly and easily installed.

Problems solved by technology

Second, plastic tubing used in hydronic heating system is vulnerable to puncture by fasteners driven through the flooring or the wall structure by persons who are not aware of the hazard.
Such accidental damage to the heating system can cause water damage and potentially cause damage to the fluid distribution pump and / or the boiler used for heating the fluid.
This contributes to the cost of installation and maintenance of the system.

Embodiment Construction

[0022] The invention provides a hydronic heating system and a hanger that facilitates installation of fluid distribution tubing for the hydronic heating system.

[0023]FIG. 1 is a schematic plan view of a hydronic heating system, generally designated by reference numeral 10, in accordance with an embodiment of the invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the hydronic heating system 10 transfers radiant heat from a fluid heated by a boiler 12 or other heater for heating the fluid, e.g., water. A pump 14, can be located upstream or downstream of the boiler 12, although, as is known in the art, the system will perform more efficiently if the pump is located upstream of the boiler, as shown in FIG. 1. The boiler 12 and the pump 14 can be separate units, as shown, or different subcomponents of the same unit.

[0024] As shown in FIG. 1, the pump 14 circulates the heated fluid through a tubing that defines a conduit 16. In one embodiment, the conduit is made of a composite tubing which includes plasti...

Abstract

A hydronic heating system that is rapidly installed using a hanger for suspending a tubing that conducts heated fluid beneath a floor to be heated. The hanger includes a stem having an upper loop for securing the hanger to the underside of a floor and a helical hook at a bottom end of the stem for supporting the tubing. The hanger can be made of a single piece of metal wire.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] This is the first application filed for the present invention. MICROFICHE APPENDIX [0002] Not Applicable. TECHNICAL FIELD [0003] The present invention relates generally to radiant heating systems and, in particular, to hangers for installing tubing in a radiant heating system. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004] Radiant heating systems for living and / or working spaces are widely known. One popular type of radiant heating system for these applications is the hydronic heating system wherein a heated fluid such as water is pumped through an endless tubing loop installed under a floor (“RFH” or Radiant Floor Heating) or inside a wall (“RWH” or Radiant Wall Heating). Heat is supplied to the living area or workspace from heated fluid circulated through the endless loop which heats the floor or wall via natural heat transfer mechanisms, i.e. radiation, convection and conduction. The fluid is typically heated by a boiler which burns a carbonaceo...
