A study on the thermal performance simulation to evaluate the prefabricated radiant floor heating panels

Computer models used for analyzing heat transfer have been developed and computerized for the precise thermal analysis of two typical prefabricated radiant floor heating panels. The developed computer program was validated by comparing the computer simulation results against the scaled model test results. Computer simulations, for the sensitivity analyses of the various design parameters and control water temperature shows the thermal performance with the variations of these parameters and the relationship among these parameters.
