The lower the inertia, the lower the energy consumption.
|
As a result of improved insulation techniques, heating systems need to supply less
energy.
|
|
It is easy to heat up a house, but difficult to maintain it at a constant temperature.
The less energy needed, the more fragile the temperature balance becomes. This balance
can be quickly disturbed by external factors. Sunlight that suddenly enters a house
through double glazing provides more than 3400 BTU/hr per 11 ft2 glass (1000 watts/m2).
Cooking gives off 6800 BTU/hr (2000 watts). Ironing, computers, hi-fi, washing machines,
driers: sometimes there is even too much heat. Modern heating has to respond quickly
and safely to all temperature changes, allowing you to benefit from these extra
heat sources without having to pay for it.

The "Portsmouth trial"
A trial was conducted by Portsmouth University in which two identical blocks of houses
with dual central heating systems were studied for one year.
On one day block A was heated with Low-H2O elements, and block B with traditional
radiators. On the next day they switched over, the next day back again, and so on.
This trial provided a perfect practical comparison, eliminating the ininfluence
of weather conditions, architecture, and user habits.
The scientists found that an energy saving of 10% was achieved with Low-H2O elements.
A low-H2O radiator immediately adapts to every temperature rise, allowing you to
benefit from extra heat sources without having to pay for it.

The "inertia" is determined by the water content and weight
|
In order to respond quickly, the radiator mass has to be as low as possible. The
lower the water content and weight, the lower the inertia and the more controllable
it becomes. That is why Low-H2O radiators are the ideal basis for modern heating
comfort.

The most powerful heat emitters,ideal for low water temperatures
Jaga Low-H2O products are designed to work perfectly with condensing boilers, heatpumps,
solar energy and other low temperature systems. Energy consumption will decrease
without economising on comfort. The low water temperature demands for powerfull
heat emitters! Jaga Low-H2O fin tube elements are that powerfull, even in modest
dimensions.

Compact Strength

Low-H2O radiators are much more efficient in comparison to traditional radiators.
After detailed scientific research, the heat exchanger has been designed to fully
optimise the new boiler temperatures. The increased contact area between copper
and aluminum
|
|
gives optimum heat emission, even with water temperatures of only 95°F. In addition,
the Jaga Low-H2O radiators are available in a powerful TWIN version that derives
maximum power from minimum dimensions.
|
The low water content and better thermostatic operation ensures perfect regulation
and the greatest achievable heating comfort: the room temperature remains constant
at the desired level.
|
Perfectly controlled room temperature
The door opens, cold enters the room. The Low-H2O radiator immediately springs into
action. Ten minutes later the sun shines through the window, the room gets warm.
The Low-H2O radiator immediately switches of and the boiler stops heating the water
directly. A traditional 6800 BTU/hr (2000 watts) radiator weighs around 88 lbs (40
kg) and absorbs about 2000 BTU/hr (600 watts) of energy before it starts to emit
heat at full power. This heat cannot be stopped by the thermostat. If the sun comes
out, the temperature inside the house becomes too high. This feels uncomfortable
and is a waste of heat. Each minute your radiator continues emitting heat is a minute
of energy loss. Traditional radiators continue heating unnecessarily for at least
20 minutes.

The perfect partner for radiant heating
Jaga Low-H2O radiators react very fast and can be easily controlled. By contrast,
radiant heating reacts slowly. For ultimate heating comfort, radiant heating should
be combined with Low-H2O radiators. Furthermore, Low-H2O radiators make your system
much more energy efficient. Use your radiant floor heating system to maintain your
minimum temperature of 64°F. The Low-H2O element will bring your room to a comfortable
68°F when necessary, fast and with minimal energy consumption. This combination
allows you to benefit from free energy such as the sun.

Healthy heating
Over the last few decades the technology used in the construction industry has changed
dramatically. Our entire way of living has changed. Cars, work are all heated. Nowadays
it’s unacceptable to come home to a cold, damp house or to find draughts or other
cold radiation sources within the house. This was certainly not the case in the
past with uninsulated buildings and single glazing. Nowadays there are very strict
standards and regulations concerning the level of insulation in modern buildings.
These new regulations bring certain problems with it, things such as the build up
of moisture and mould due to bad air circulation. With Low-H2O radiators this problem
is solved due to its larger air distribution, at a lower air temperature. This provides
healthy and consistent warmth everywhere in the room. As a result of this better
air circulation the entire room is at the same temperature. Thus there is no risk
of damp or mould formation. This means that the classic problem of being too hot
near the radiator and too cold in the far corner is a thing of the past. With this
advanced heat dissipation the temperature distribution is perfect!

Safe Heating
Low-H2O radiators give off a healthy and safe warmth. As a result they meet the
highest safety standards. Their surface temperature does not increase above 109
degrees. This means you can never be burnt by the casing.

Prepare yourself for the future:
same size, 3 times the heating output
Standard Low-H2O emitters are the most powerful on the market, thus the best choice
for condensing boilers. But that’s not all! With optional DBE, these outputs can
even be tripled! Combined with DBE the same fin tube element emits 2 to 3 times
more heat, with no increase of size! This makes Low-H2O the best solution for heat
pumps, solar energy and all systems running wih extremely low water temperatures
as low as 95°F. DBE technology gives you the opportunity to make the best use of
the full range of new, environmentally friendly systems.
Best of both worlds
The advanced Low-H2O heat exchanger linked to revolutionary DBE technology. Or,
the best static heating system linked to a new intelligent dynamic engine. The DBE
unit contains high-tech mini thermal activators and is microprocessor controlled.
This combination guarantees higher heating capacity, faster reaction times and a
more economical operation.
Extremely low noise level
Say goodbye to the noisy fan coil units. DBE fans operate with a sound level of
30Db. This means that you can't hear them.
Intelligent control
DBE’s sensors constantly measure the temperature in the room and that of the water
in the radiator. And if the temperature falls below the programmed lower limit?
Then the microprocessor immediately sends a signal to the DBE units, which then
silently increase the heat emission. With the desired temperature in sight the heat
emission is automatically reduced.
Electrical power consumption:
less than a tv in standby
DBE is quick and efficient whilst being extremely economical. The DBE’s brain works
on 12 Volt DC. Even during maximum boost output electricity use is lower than a
tv in standby mode, and this only occurs for a few minutes such as when switching
from night to day mode, or during periods of extreme cold.
