Dusalux

Dusalux is a special system of a radiant heating. Using the physical properties of heavy construction materials, the temperature will be carried into the building parts.

Technology

In floors, ceilings and walls, made of concrete or other heavy materials, are tube registers integrated which are flown through by a heat transfer medium. The temperature of this heat carrier will be emitted directly into the building parts. The surfaces of these parts are radiating the energy into the bordering rooms. Ceilings are able to act in both directions, above and beneath this horizontal building part. Via controlled distributors it is possible to regulate the different rooms to the desired temperature. The system provides the basis to heat and cool buildings. The system temperatures have to be approximately 28°C when heating and approximately 19°C when cooling.

Effect

Up to 100% of the building construction can be tempered. During the heating process there is no temperature difference between the different component surfaces. These differences would lead in common to a forced convection into the room. Without this convection the room climate is much better in the questions of temperature, cosiness and dust contamination. In the cooling process, which is here called “quiet cooling”, there is no streaming of chilled air because of the same reasons like in the heating process. Only the tempered building parts are transfusing their temperature to the rooms by their own temperature radiation. The needed energy for the system is provided by geothermal power which is available closed under the surface of our earth. Ground source heat pumps are actively producing warmth for heating and passively chillness for cooling.
