Simple, Effective Natural Convection/Radiation
With No Fans or Blowers |
|
| Valance heating/cooling is a totally hydronic (forced water) system that uses no fans of blowers to furnish heating/cooling comfort. Edwards valance units, installed near the ceiling, operate by convection and radiation to heat or cool individual rooms or entire buildings. The edwards valance system eliminates fans, motors, filters, and duct work- and the expenses associated with each! |
Architectural Benefits
 Freedom of furniture layout
Full use of space
Indirect Lighting |
Construction Benefits
Easy to Install
No high voltage wiring is required

May avoid issues where asbestos exist
The Valance may be located on any wall - simplifying piping installations.
System piping may be located within the Valance enclosure.
Limited demolition required on renovation projects. |
Heating Mode
When the valance unit is operated in the heating cycle, hot water is circulated through the finned tube element. Air, in contact with the warm tubes and fins, is heated and rises, flowing upward out of the valance enclosure. This flow of warm air progresses across the room's ceiling and forms a warm layer, heating the ceiling. The ceiling then radiates the heat downwards into the room.
The warm floor temperature experienced with the valance counteracts discomfort created by drafts flowing down from the colder exterior walls or extensive glass fronts. Such cold air down drafts strike the floor warmed by radiant energy from the ceiling. Turbulence is generated; cold air is diffused and warmed air is prevented from moving across the room.
|
Cooling Mode
When the valance unit is operating in the cooling cycle, chilled water is circulated through the finned tubed element. Air in contact with the cold tubes and fins is cooled and falls, flowing downward out of the valance enclosure.This flow of cool air progresses continuously, setting up a conecvetion movement of cool air down the wall adjacent to the valance unit, acrosss the floor, and back to the valance unit.
