FAQ

Q:What happens if a capillary tube is damaged during construction?Can it be fixed completely?

A: We should take good protection measures to prevent the capillary mat from destroying. A section damaged capillary tube presents no problem and can be repaired without any expense.Just cut off the damaged section and weld both ends together with a connector. There is no longer any energy exchange via this capillary tube, but it is not noticeable in the total capacity.

Q: Is there condensation phenomenon when using cooling system? How does condensation protection work?

A: The condensation phenomenon occurs only when the system temperature below the dew point. We would provide a reasonable and effective dehumidification system to make sure the system temperature always higher than dew point. In the meantime, a dew point sensor is installed for every cooling circuit. Once the condensation appears, the system will turn off the switch or raise the temperature steadily. And when the condensation disappears, the system will recover to the normal mode.

Q: How can the capillary tube mat save energy?

A: The capillary tube mat realizes the heat exchange in a form of radiation. It has a large heat exchange surface area. For heating, the input water temperature is only 28-32℃ needed, and for cooling, it is needed at 16-18℃. Compared with the traditional air conditioners, the capillary tube mat air conditioner reduces energy consumption significantly.

Q: Can silt in the capillary tube mat system?

A: Silting is not possible by reasonable design and rich construction experience.1). The inner of capillary tubes is smooth enough to prevent silting for the normal scale. 2). Equipped with small filtration devices to prevent large particles from entering the capillary tubes. 3). Using only corrosion-resistant materials pipe and components in the system.

Q: Can the system calcify?

A: No. Experience has shown that lime build-up does not occur until temperatures of around 60°C and higher. Since the temperature level on cooling is around 10–20°C, lime can not form in the capillary tube mats system.

Q: Will the decorative layers crack?

A: The wall temperature difference between heating and cooling is not exceed 20℃ which is not going to make the wall crack. We usually recommend the flexible polymer mortar and two glass fiber networks to prevent an empty drum when installation.

Q: Will the small single of capillary tube leak easily?

A: Every single of capillary tube mat is subjected to pressure and safety test of 20 bar to ensure the solidity of welding before delivery. The sinolanc capillary tube mats system is a closed system, as long as the correct installation will not leak. The water initially filled will continue to circulate through the system.

Q: What are the factors that affect the selection of sinolanc capillary tube mats system?

1. The capillary tube mats spacing selection
2. Installation position: ceiling, wall or ground
3. Installation method: install directly, plastered, gypsum board, metal panel,etc.
4. The area of the installation room
5. Temperature difference between chilled water and indoor temperature, etc.;
6. The structure performance of the building
