Benefits of technology

[0023]In addition, the prior art teaches heating systems which conducts hot water through tubing in a series circuit. This obviously leads to gradual cooling of the water as it travels through the tubing, thus creating a thermal gradient across the floor. The presently described apparatus provides a solution to this problem, creating faster and more uniform heat dispersal, by enabling the tubing to be run in both series and parallel circuits

Problems solved by technology

However, as mentioned above, much of the prior art discloses heating panels which tend to be difficult to store and transport due to their size.
This, in turn, can make storage, trans

Abstract

A room heating apparatus uses separate heating panels fastened to a sub-floor to conduct a heating fluid which then adjusts the temperature of a room. The panels carry fluid tubing and transition panels conduct this tubing between the heating panels. The transition panels have a plurality of grooves that allow the selection of how the tubing is conducted between the heating panels so that a custom heating circuit may be formed to optimize the heating pattern of each installation.
