If
your building was built prior to 1980 and is heated by hot water or steam
radiators/ convectors, you are losing a significant amount of heat through the
un-insulated exterior wall.
Use
this product in the entire building or solve the problems with those apartments
that frequently complain about a lack of heat when others are hot or
comfortable.
Novitherm Heat Reflectors reduce
heat and energy loss by ensuring that most of the heat from your heating unit
is passed into the room and not into the exterior wall.
The aluminized surface reflects over
90% of the infra-red heat, normally absorbed by the wall behind the heating
units, back into the room. This immediately improves comfort levels and reduces
your heating requirements.
The molded shape of the Heat
Reflector traps air between the Heat Reflector and the wall surface. This
creates a thermal barrier which reduces conductive heat loss to the exterior
wall. The saw tooth profile of the Heat Reflector, increases air turbulence and
circulation which improves room comfort.
With the Heat Reflectors installed,
the core of your heating unit is hotter and returns the water inside the system
to the boiler at a higher temperature. This allows you to reduce the overall
boiler water temperature to achieve the same or improved comfort levels. The
reduction of the boiler water temperature reduces the amount of fuel required
to re-heat the water, and you will save money.
Fire
Resistance
The Heat Reflectors have been tested
for smoke and flame spread by the Underwriters Laboratory of Canada (ULC) and
rated in accordance with the following standards:
CAN/ULC-S102M (flame @ 30; smoke @ 60 to 85)
ASTM E84 (flame @ 15 to 40; smoke @ 105 to 135)
Toxicity
When tested in accordance with draft EEC Document EN71, the Heat Reflectors
were found to be safe to use where they would be accessible to children.
Emissivity
Heat Reflectors are opaque to thermal radiation with a thermal reflectance of
90% to 92%.
