Tailored Solutions for Low Temperature Heating

Switching to low temperature heating has several important advantages including:

• Lower energy consumption: provided that the building is properly insulated, low temperature heating can reduce energy consumption by about 30%. That’s a win-win for the planet and for household budgets.

• Energy source versatility: low temperature heating can be combined with various heat sources. Appropriately designed low temperature hot water systems already work efficiently with condensing boilers, and the heating system is prepared for the future should the householder decide to move to a fully renewable heat source.

• Higher indoor comfort: because of their low thermal inertia, low temperature radiators are able to adapt quicker and react more precisely to temperature changes. So the room is always kept at the desired temperature, while the heat is distributed evenly throughout the room.

• Added value for interiors: When switching to a low temperature heating system, the integration of new heat emitters allows for an update of the interior design and can increase the property value. Modern low temperature radiators can aesthetically enhance the rooms in which they’re placed, while underfloor heating frees up wall space that can be used to integrate other interior design elements.

It’s a common misconception that underfloor heating or panel radiators operating with low temperature hot water systems can take longer to reach the desired temperature when starting a system from cold. The reality is that this can be efficiently managed by maintaining the system at a setback temperature when the space is not occupied.

Smart heating controls are ideal for monitoring and maintaining comfortable temperatures. With wireless control systems like the new Unisenza Plus range, it’s very easy to make different combinations and control the entire building through a single online app.

Meeting individual needs

When people think of a low temperature heating system, they often associate it with underfloor heating. Yet, most radiators are also suitable for low temperature heating, with a flow temperature of at least 45°C, provided that they are sized correctly. It’s a common misconception that only oversized or Type 33 radiators are suitable in such cases. However, our wide product range offers many more options so it’s easy to select a solution tailored to the building and its occupants, while recognising the practical and budgetary constraints.

Where there is a requirement for rapid response or intermittent heating, direct electric radiators can be a suitable option. This is a particularly sustainable solution when used in conjunction with self-generated energy, from solar panels for example. We offer a comprehensive range of electric radiators to suit individual taste including panel, plan, column and decorative models.

In addition to UFH and electric radiators, our wide range of hydronic radiators are available to suit every need, including designer radiators, column radiators and towel radiators. Even where flow temperatures are further reduced to below 45°C, we can provide fitting solutions with:

• Ulow E2 : an ultra-low temperature panel radiator which is powered by innovative E2 technology that automatically switches on the integrated fans, when needed, to support the natural convection of the radiator. The increased performance of the Ulow E2 allows for both lower temperature settings and a reduced energy consumption.

• iVector S2 : a fan convector that offers high outputs in low temperature heating, but when paired with a reversible heat pump, also has full cooling functionalities. Thanks to the built-in controller that regulates the system’s parameters, optimal indoor comfort is guaranteed all year round. iVector S2 offers various installation options, ranging from wall or ceiling mounted to wall or ceiling recessed, allowing for smooth integration in any interior.

Chrome towel warmers in bathrooms are an interesting challenge as heat outputs are generally up to 30% lower than their equivalent painted models, but we have a low temperature solution in addition to our range of traditional and modern towel warmers. The double Topaz bathroom radiator is available in a variety of attractive colours and provides excellent heat output, thanks to its generous tubular water channels, making it the perfect solution for low temperature heating systems.

And, thanks to recent product updates, our wall mounted Hi-Line and Lo-Line fan convectors and Kickspace plinth heater are also suitable for lower flow temperatures, further enhancing the wide range of products in our low temperature heating portfolio.

Finding the Perfect Solution

As a total solutions provider, Myson has carefully created a complete range that caters to all needs. Ranging from hydronic and electric radiators to underfloor heating, heating valves and electronic controls, all products are designed to offer the highest levels of comfort and efficiency.

Whilst we advocate the benefits of a total system solution, we are very much aware that different projects have different requirements. We can provide bespoke solutions that recognise the individual challenges associated with creating perfect indoor climates in a responsible and sustainable manner. If you don’t want to replace the emitters, for example, but do want to save energy, our TRVs or the new Unisenza Plus Electronic Thermostatic Head help take a step in the right direction. Environments that require extra safety, such as healthcare settings or educational facilities, can benefit from our Low Surface Temperature, LST radiators, which have a safety-conscious round steel casing and a surface temperature that remains below 43°C.

Regardless of the application, we make every effort to meet the needs of all with a complete range of high-quality products.
