237069000 | HEATED FLOOR | 9 |
20090026282 | Multilayer Tube for Transporting Water or Gas - The invention relates to a multilayer tube comprising (from the inside to the outside of the tube): an optional layer (C | 01-29-2009 |
20090159718 | Building Designs and Heating and Cooling Systems - Building constructions, building heating and/or cooling methods, and/or heating and/or cooling systems are provided that can include interior conduits configured to convey a fluid coupled with exterior conduits extending through the grounds surrounding the building. | 06-25-2009 |
20100237157 | Ground heating flooring with internal heating conduction structure - A ground heating flooring with internal heat conduction structure includes a flooring body, a plurality of heat conduction mediums, a heating pipe, an upper locking member and a lower locking member. Each of the heat conduction mediums, provided within the flooring body, one end of which contacts with the heating pipe such that a heat within the heating pipe is conducted directly and distributed rapidly all around the flooring. The upper locking member, provided at a side of the flooring body, defines an upper protruding supporting cavity. The lower locking member, provided at an opposite side of the flooring body, defines a lower concaved supporting cavity. When an upper locking member of a flooring is engaged with a lower locking member of an adjacent flooring, the upper supporting cavity is fitted into the lower supporting cavity for forming an accommodating chamber to receive the heating pipe therein. | 09-23-2010 |
20110121087 | UNDER-FLOOR TROUGH WITH HEATING ELEMENT - An under-floor trough is provided for use with a raised-floor system. The under-floor trough includes an air-delivery assembly, one or more plurality of dampers, a support system, and a heating element. A control unit, removable from above the raised-floor system, and a baffle are disposed within the air-delivery assembly. The dampers include vanes that are actuated between open and closed positions according to a time modulated duty cycle to control the flow of conditioned air to a room. The support system provides a plurality of legs disposed between the bottom of the air-delivery assembly and a sub-floor. A bracket is mounted to a wall and the under-floor trough is supported thereby. The heating element is disposed within the air-delivery assembly. Conditioned air is provided to a room at high flow rates for short durations based on the duty cycle, thereby increasing the uniformity of cooling provided to the room. | 05-26-2011 |
20110284647 | PLANT OF CELLULAR HEATING TO FLOOR - An underfloor heating system including some thermal cells provided with an ultrathin heating element located just beneath the floor. The thermal cells are connected as modules when laying the floor. Then they are supplied and handled by a common thermostat (manual or programmable). A floor with even temperature is then obtained, able to transmit radiation heat indoor or outdoor, where installed. | 11-24-2011 |
20130099013 | Flexible Graphite Flooring Heat Spreader - A floor heating system includes a flooring substrate having a heating or cooling element in heat transfer relationship therewith. A heat spreader is in heat transfer relationship with the flooring substrate. The heat spreader includes a layer of flexible graphite material. A floor covering overlies the layer of flexible graphite material. Temperature variations across an exposed surface of the floor covering are reduced by the presence of the flexible graphite heat spreader, thus providing an improved and more uniform heating to the floor and to the room with which the floor is associated. | 04-25-2013 |
20140367477 | IMPACT AND/OR SOUND DEADENING HYDRONIC SUB-FLOORING PANEL AND RELATED SYSTEM AND METHOD - A sub-flooring panel with improved impact and/or sound deadening (ISD) properties that is adapted to adjoin other sub-flooring panels to form a sub-flooring panel assembly, includes a base body having an upper surface formed with a groove for receiving a heating/cooling element, such as hydronic piping. A sub-flooring system with significantly improved ISD properties includes the panel assembly and an underlayment assembly which comprises a plurality of stabilizing supports, each support being adjustable in height, to support at least a generally rigid board and a fiberboard on which finishing flooring or laminate may be installed. | 12-18-2014 |
20150144708 | IN-FLOOR HEATING APPARATUSES AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A heated flooring assembly includes a base layer having a plurality of studs arranged in a grid pattern, the base layer operable to be coupled to a flooring surface. A screed layer is bonded to an upper surface of the base layer. A length of tubing has an outer surface and an inner surface, the length of tubing operable to carry a fluid that creates a temperature differential between the length of tubing and the screed layer. The length of tubing is retained between at least some of the studs. At least the outer surface of the length of tubing has at least one projection extending outwardly therefrom, the projection increasing a rate at which heat is transferred between the length of tubing and the screed layer as the fluid travels through the length of tubing. | 05-28-2015 |
