  • Abstract
For the capillary mats using wet construction, a winter experiment designed to investigate the heat transfer performance was described, and the heat transfer performance analysis which contains the comparisons between different pipe space and different thickness of cement mortar surface was carried out. As a result, compared with that of the traditional radiant heating pipes, the capillary mats of wet construction require supply water with lower temperature, and it shows good heat transfer performance and system energy efficiency as well. According to the demand of indoor heat dissipation and human comfort as well as the coupling relationship between the temperature of supply water and surface construction thickness, it is suggested that the proper construction method should be comprehensively considered in practical applications.
