WATERSTRIP” HOT WATER RADIANT PANELS OPERATING PRINCIPLE WATERSTRIP (hot water radiant panels) are suitable for heating large industrial and civil buildings by infrared rays. They are the best solution where low-noise operation, no air flow, and no dust circulation are required. WATERSTRIPs are also suitable to heat rooms housing inflammable mixtures. No air flow and low stratification ensure low running costs. The power emission and the production quality are certified according to the European norm EN14037. Furthermore, the “WP” series is the result of a new patented production technology which assures the highest quality of the finished product. In summertime, the same installation can work as a cooling plant. This is possible by using cold water as working fluid. CONSTRUCTIVE FEATURES WATERSTRIP consist of a set of pipes secured to an insulated shield placed on the top side. Even after several years of operation, the accurate assembly ensures a perfect contact between pipes and shield, enabling peak thermal emission values. Side stripes can be added to reduce air circulation. A joint-cover is fitted on the welds connecting the sections. Strengthening cross-pieces are fitted on the top side, and are also used for anchoring. Fibreglass panels with aluminium foil at the top are fitted to eliminate upward radiation. The manifolds are square-sectioned, not welded to the thermal panels and can be used both with hot and cold water. The standard colour is light grey RAL9002. Other colours can be provided upon specific request. WATERSTRIP panels can also work with steam: in this case special manifolds should be applied.

“WP” SERIES The new “WP” WATERSTRIP series have been added to the traditional “WS” series. The new patented “WP” series comply with the usual reliability and flexibility of Fraccaro’s products. Their main features are: • Ø22 mm galvanised steel tube: the nominal diameter is in compliance with the international pressfitting standards; • Radiant panel with double protection: the steel sheet is galvanised and pre-painted; • Self-supporting panel; • High flexibility for the installation: possibility to hook the chains to the cross-piece strengthenings (each 1,5 meters); no binds by using the...
