Capillary Tube Mats Introduction

Capillary tube mat system is an innovative technology developed to replace the conventional radiator heating and air conditioning systems. It is made of Polypropylene. It consists of plastic tubes with an external diameter of only 4.3mm and two collection pipes with diameter of 20mm. The mats are supplied in lengths of 1m to 12.0m and variable widths up to 1.0m.

Working Principle:

Sinolanc Capillary tube mat is already realized its own set of distribution structure in stage of product manufacturing. Capillary tube mat is consist of inlet,return water main tube and many capillary branch tubes. It was achieved technology breakthrough which one piece of main tube directly connected with other branch tubes through the side at the same time. It doesn’t need assume direct pipe fittings, elbow, tee and other traditional connections. In the current traditional radiator, floor heating pipe technology category is unable to achieve that.

FAQ

1. Where can the capillary tube mat be installed?

Capillary tube can be installed on roof, wall, and floor, under the surface decorative materials.

2. What are the advantages of capillary tube mat compared with the traditional heating or cooling system?

Compared with the traditional heating and cooling system, capillary tube mat is a kind of more efficient, more energy-saving, more environmentally friendly, healthy and comfortable and have a long using life products.

3. Can capillary tube mat be used with heat pump?

   Yes. The capillary tube mat can be used with ground source heat pump, air source heat pump, water source heat pump, solar energy system, gas furnace and central heating and cooling system.

4. Is capillary tube mat system energy-saving?

 Yes. In winter, the input water temperature is only 28-32℃, which is much lower than the 45-60℃ of the traditional underfloor heating system. In summer, the input water temperature is only 16-18 ℃ , which is much higher than 5-7 ℃  of the common air conditioners.

5. Is there condensation phenomenon when using cooling system? How does condensation protection work?

The condensation phenomenon occurs only when the system temperature below the dew point. It is essential to prevent the formation of condensation water by the below methods:

1). Increase cold water temperature: 18℃ higher temperature of cold water uses, while ensuring adequate capillary tube mats laying area. Increasing the water temperature in the capillary mat systems will prevent condensation water forms.

2). Air treatment by dehumidifying air: The fresh air dehumidifier is used that ensures comfortable humidity and prevents the condensation occurs.

3). Shutdown by dew point sensor: If it is a risk of reaching the dew point, the system will automatically shut down by the sensor. 

6. Can silting /block occur in the capillary tube mat system?

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. 

7. Will the decorative layers break?

The wall temperature is relatively constant between heating and cooling. So temperatures change is not going to make the wall break. We currently adopt flexible polymer mortar and two glass fiber networks to prevent an empty drum when installation.  

8. How can you guarantee the product quality? What is the warranty you provide ?

All capillary tube mats are produced under strict quality control with a top level of precision and safety. Each piece of mat has to tested for leaks at a pressure of 20bar. This test pressure corresponds to 5 times the operating pressure.

Capillary Tube Mats Advantages on Heating and Cooling System

Energy-saving:  For heating in winter, the input water temperature is around 28-32℃. Compared with the 45-60℃of common floor heating pipes and 70-80℃of the traditional heating radiator, the capillary tube mat system can save 20-40% energy. For cooling in summer, the input water temperature is around 16-18℃, which is much higher
than the 5-7℃of the common air conditioning system, which can help save 60-70% energy.

Space-saving: The thickness of capillary tube mat installation is about 10mm; water filling weight is about 750g/m2.For example: For a 20-floor building with traditional central air conditioning, using capillary tube mat can save 2 floors space, which can form great economical benefits.

Energy Selection: Capillary tube mat can work together with air source heat pump, water source heat pump,ground source heat pump, solar energy, etc.

Healthy & Comfortable: Capillary tube mat realizes the heat exchange in a form of radiation. With great heat exchange surface area, capillary tube mat system has the features of no noise, no air flow, no bacterial overgrowth.

Easy Installation: The diameter of capillary tube mat is only 4.3mm. It can be hidden installed in-wall, groundand ceiling. It doesn’t take up space in the room, has little influence on house decoration andcan be easily installed.

Safe and Reliable: Each piece of capillary tube mat must pass the pressure test of 20 bar before delivery.With high quality, the using life of capillary tube mat is around 50 years. And the whole system can run steadily without maintenance with professional design and installation.

Extensive Application: Capillary tube mat not only can be used as the air conditioning terminal product and also can be used as energy collection terminal.
