The proper applications of Dunham Strip achieves these optimum conditions,
producing a feeling of warmth and comfort at a lower air temperature, which due to the
higher natural moisture content, creates a fresh rather than stuffy environment.
Medium and high temperature pumped hot water are
ideal heating media, low temperature hot water is also suitable but due to the increased
quantity of Dunham Strip required, compared to that of medium and high temperature
systems, it is usually considered to be an uneconomical solution.
Steam may also be used as the heating medium,
but due to a lack of control and the complications of grading and trapping long runs, it
is seldom utilised unless there are compensating reasons. |
