2. Radiant heating and cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_heating_and_cooling

   Radiant heating and cooling is a category of HVAC technologies that exchange heat by both convection and radiation with the environments they are designed to heat or cool. There are many subcategories of radiant heating and cooling, including: "radiant ceiling panels", [ 1 ] "embedded surface systems", [ 1 ] "thermally active building systems ...

3. Underfloor heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_heating

   A.M. Byers of America promotes radiant heating using small bore water pipes. Asia continues to use traditional ondol and kang—wood is used as the fuel, combustion gases sent under floor. 1930: Oscar Faber in England uses water pipes used to radiant heat and cool several large buildings. [15] 1933

4. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   Hydronic radiant floor heating systems use a boiler or district heating to heat water and a pump to circulate the hot water in plastic pipes installed in a concrete slab. The pipes, embedded in the floor, carry heated water that conducts warmth to the surface of the floor, where it broadcasts heat energy to the room above.

5. Gas heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_heater

   A gas heater is a space heater used to heat a room or outdoor area by burning natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, propane, or butane. Indoor household gas heaters can be broadly categorized in one of two ways: flued or non-flued, or vented and unvented .

6. Radiator (heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(heating)

   In underfloor heating, tubing is placed on the floor throughout the room and later covered with a concrete layer during construction. Also known as "radiant heat", underfloor heating uses a network of pipes, tubing or heating cables, buried in or attached beneath a floor to allow heat to rise into the room.

7. Space heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_heater

   Combustion space heaters convert chemical energy into heat through combustion of a fuel. These heaters often do not require electricity to function and can therefore be used off-the-grid. Honeywell electric infrared radiant heater Sunbeam quartz space heater uses quartz tubing for infrared heating

8. Patio heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patio_heater

   A burner on top of a pole, it burns natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), propane or butane, and directs the flames against a perforated metal screen. Heat is radiated from the surface of the screen in a circular pattern around the appliance. A reflector a top the burner reflects heat that would be otherwise lost upwards.

9. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning - Wikipedia

   The heat can be transferred to the surrounding air using radiators, hot water coils (hydro-air), or other heat exchangers. The radiators may be mounted on walls or installed within the floor to produce floor heat. The use of water as the heat transfer medium is known as hydronics. The heated water can also supply an auxiliary heat exchanger to ...
