Benefits of technology
"The present invention provides a new heating / cooling radiator that maximizes room perimeter usage and provides a level of efficiency with lower energy cost compared to existing systems. The radiator has many advantages and innovative features, including a high coefficient of heat transfer, a thin walled highly thermal conductive outer casing, an internal conduit for a spiral insert, flexible material for the spiral insert and conduit, a cross connection of their respective inner and outer heat transfer media, easy installation, compatibility with a vast array of heating and cooling systems, inexpensive manufacture, and freeze resistance. The new radiator improves space comfort by minimizing temperature gradient within a room and does not hamper the placement of room furniture. The radiator has a clean linear appearance with an internally enhanced primary only, heat transfer surface."
Problems solved by technology
However this is not the case for the cooling systems.
These all suffer common drawbacks in that they occupy space at the floor-wall interface, and require additional room between adjacent furnishings to operate safely or at full efficiency.
Thus, most require extreme differences between the heat transfer media (fluid or gas) and the ambient air for adequate thermal energy transfer.
A further problem with the prior art radiators is that in the event of an uncompensated cold ingress, the fluid transfer media can freeze, bursting the casing of the radiator and leading to disastrous flooding.

Abstract
The present invention is a room perimeter heating / cooling radiator that utilizes low to medium temperature heat transfer fluid in a new design with an enhanced ‘primary only’ heat transfer surface having an internal spiral or helix to circulate the water around the inside of the primary surface to enhance the heat transfer, and an internal conduit that provides both freeze protection and the ability to cross connect multiple identical radiators for increased efficiency. The primary intended location is within inches of the building windows.
Description
[0001]The following application incorporates by reference and is a continuation in part (CIP) of the parent U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 595,382 entitled “ARCHITECTURALLY AND THERMALLY IMPROVED PERIMETER RADIATOR” filed Nov. 8, 2006.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a radiator for building heating and cooling, more specifically to a fluid media radiator designed for installation adjacent to a building window. It offers dramatic improvements in energy efficiency and appearance, and because of its location and lower temperature differential radiation, increases the usage of room perimeter space. The overarching concept is for the thermal losses or gains at the perimeter of a building (generally at the windows) to be addressed directly at their source, allowing the central heating and cooling systems to be dramatically downsized.[0003]Perimeter room heating is well known in such systems as hot water radiators, electric registers, and forced hot ai...
