I have noticed that there is interest here at Ecorenovator in hydronic floor heating (AKA: radiant floor heating). Also, because of the friendly relation between Ecomodder and BuildItSolar, I should mention the great interest in hydronic heating on that site. In my thread, Homemade Heat Pump Manifesto, there have been several posts that contain questions or information about hydronic floor heating, and I thought it would be a good idea to create a new thread as a repository for that information and for future conversation and information. A few basics: Making, buying, and evaluating heat absorbing fins for solar collectors. Search The Renewable Energy site for Do-It-Yourselfers This page summaries the various ways that people have gone about making these fins, and also provides some places that you can buy commercial fins.
The page also provides some construction tips, and provides the calculated performance (fin efficiency) for several designs. Directory for this page: Homemade Fins -- several designs... Manual_of_Modern_Hydronics_Section_1_4.pdf (application/pdf Object)
