616 CHAPTER 23 1957 Guide Step 6. Mean Water Temperature and Upward Heat Flow a. Follow the procedure for Plaster Panels, Step 6. b. Find the heat flow upward from the panel (g,,) from Fig. 16. Add to the ther mal resistance of the slab to upward heat flow (r,,,), the "resistance to heat flow (r,,,,) of any material between the upper surface of the slab and the space above to obtain the resistance (r,,) to be used in Fig. 16. The mean water temperature (fm,,) found and the air temperature of the space above the panel are the other two factors to be used. Step 7.

Procedure for Plaster Wall Panels A design graph has not been prepared for wall panels but a design can be approximated using the equations of heat transfer from walls together with the thermal resistance properties of plaster ceilings from Table 2. The procedure for Plaster Ceiling Panels is used as a guide. Step 1. Heat Loss Follow the procedure for Plaster Ceiling Panels, Step 1. Step S. Required Panel Output Follow the procedure for Plaster Ceiling Panels, Step 2. Step 3. Panel Surface Temperature Assume a trial panel surface temperature and determine the resulting heat out put from Figs. 9 and 10 as explained in the accompanying section of the test. (Ad ditional heat flow due to the infiltration can be estimated from Fig. 12, if desired). Assume successive trial panel surface temperatures until the temperature is found at which the combined heat transfer from the panel equals the output determined in Step 2. Step 4- Reverse-side Heat Flow Follow the procedure for Plaster Ceiling Panels, Step 4. Step 6. Panel Resistance Follow the procedure for Plaster Ceiling Panels, Step 5. Step 6.

Procedure for Hot-Water Concrete Floor Panels (Slab-On-Grade)IS The procedure for designing a concrete floor, panel (slab-on-grade) will be illustrated by Example 2. Example 2: Three rooms, A, B and C, are to have a common water supply tem perature; that is, they represent a single zone. They are to be maintained at 72 F air temperature when the outdoor air temperature is zero F. The floors in the three rooms are covered with heavy wall-to-wall carpeting, without a pad. Insulation which has a conductance of 0.4 Btu per (hr)(sq ft)(F deg) is placed along the edge of the Blab and extends downward 2 ft below it. Step 1. Heat Loss Calculate the heat loss of each room, following the recommendations contained in Chapter 12 Heating Load, but do not include any heat loss through the area covered by the panel. . . . ^ vtry rooms are involved, the rooms should be subdivided into areas having somewhat similar heat requirements, i.e., separate the interior areas requiring little or no heatinput, from the exterior areas directly influenced by outside weather con- of des"" suh area should then be treated as a separate room for the purpose Room dimensions, exposure, and calculated heat losses are as follows: low ia hiah to Room Dimensions Feet Exposed Waul Feet Heat Loss Btu per hr A* 11 x 12 x 8 B 11 x 12 x 8 C 15 x 21 x 8 23 . 3300 12 2500 21 8000 Boom A of Example 1. The roome are the same except that in this example a lower heat pcrnut the room to be heated by a floor panel alone without developing an inadxnissibly *mPera*ure (Step 3). The lower heat loss is presumably the result of adding insulation 8. Required Panel Output caiPhl*^6 1S eah room by the maximum floor area in the room which f00t nfUSeo as a heating panel.
