Capillary Tube Mat
A capillary tube mat is a flat composite structure of thin tubes (capillary, capillaries) with a distributor tube and a collector tube. The main applications include cooling ceilings (radiant cooling) and underfloor heating. Technology Idea The construction of the capillary tube mat models the networks of fine veins created by nature, which run under the skin (surface) of living creatures, and supply the organism with nutrients and also help heat regulation of the body. Capillary tube mats lay close beneath the surface in areas of rooms, and transport warm or cool water through them in order to control the temperature of the rooms. Since fluid always flows in parallel through many capillaries, similar to the veins under the skin of the body, the heat exchange with the environment is intense and energetically effective. A room whose temperature is controlled by the use of capillary tube mats as a surface heat-exchanger requires flow temperatures for heating or cooling whic ...
