WESTERN NEWS Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Thursday July 9 2020 17 HOME & HEATING What makes a great Heat Transfer System? There are a number of Heat Transfer systems on the market. Smooth-Air ventilation specialists offer a range of HTU Heat Transfer Units with carefully selected components to optimise the system: They use insulated duct to transfer the heated air with as little heat loss as possible. The fan moves sufficient air for the distance and number of rooms, without being noisy. The diffusers send the heat to the floor, not to skim the across the ceilings. All components are good quality - designed to operate for years without problems. Smooth-Air’s HTUs come in a range of options: One to four rooms, with or without thermostat and with a choice of grilles and diffusers. HTUs improve energy efficiency in your house, as you are using excess heat. They have low power consumption - only 80watts for the three room system. Circulating air through the house also reduces the risk of damp. You can also choose the HTU version with downjet diffusers, which throw the warm air downwards to the floor. These downjet diffusers can also be adjusted to regulate which room receives the most warm air. An average size living room requires 2-4 kw of heating, yet appliances such as log burners generate heat in the region of 10 -20kw. This leaves an excess of 8 -16kw of heat which sits at high level in the heated room, usually above door level. Heat transfer units work best where very hot air has ‘stratified’ into a layer near the ceiling. So heat pumps, which circulate warm air around the room with no layering, are not suitable as a heat source by themselves. However, if you have both log burner and a heat pump, heat transfer systems with thermostat can work very well: The heat pump stops operating once the heat from the fire has heated the room, and the heat transfer kicks in above this point, once there is a layer of hot air at the ceiling. Contact Smooth-Air on 0800 SMOOTH (0800 766 684) to ask how they can help you with your Heat Transfer, as well as any other ventilation requirements.
