Radiant Design and System Balancing
Thursday, April 24, 2025
12:00 - 1:00pm CDT
Technical Content Level: Intermediate
Join us for the April edition of Coffee with Caleffi featuring radiant heating and cooling expert Saeed Danesh. We will walk through the basics of sizing a radiant project and explain the common decision points that can influence a project. Once the flow rate is established for the network of pipe, selecting and applying the proper balancing valve is essential for comfort and energy efficiency. In this 60-minute webinar participants will gain insights into:
→ Radiant design process overview (common steps defined)
→ Important installation considerations for best system output
→ System balancing at the branch and manifold level
→ Q&A
