Frenger launches radiant heating panels that conform to latest European standards

Frenger Systems are one of the very first LTHW radiant heating panel manufacturers to test their range of products to EN14037. This is the new homogenised European standard for the capacity measurement of ceiling-mounted LTHW radiant heating panels.

Before the introduction of EN14037 there was - believe it or not - no dedicated testing protocol for the testing of such products. In fact, in the UK we have adapted "radiator" test standards (BS3528 and BS EN 442) for the purpose of assessing radiant heating panel capacity.

For various reasons (not least the inconsistencies in heating data published in manufacturer's literature) the "corruption" of the BS standard was seen to be wholly inappropriate and the introduction of EN14037 has been universally welcomed.

What makes EN14037 different, apart from the fact that it is specifically designed for ceiling mounted LTHW heating panels, is that it tests for “useful” heat from the panel. That is, it allows for no dissipation of heat into the ceiling void and takes into account radiant temperatures as well as air temperatures. For these reasons the new protocol provides the specifier with a degree of security; it allows for informed comparison of products from different manufacturers, and affords a simple match between "heat loss" and heat capacity.

In line with the other products in Frenger’s LTHW range, the Company’s latest generation lightweight heating cassette “Modula” has been tested to the new standard and has been specified for use on numerous LIFT healthcare projects throughout the UK.
