Sector: Structure Heat

Description:

Radiant Panel Technologies developed an innovative solution to prevent large fluid tanks and pumps from freezing inside cargo trailers for a poultry depopulating trailer, ensuring reliable operation in even the harshest conditions. The system integrates RPT heat film, installed under the trailer decking, providing uniform and efficient heat distribution. This heating system is paired with advanced controls tailored to maintain optimal temperatures within the trailer, safeguarding sensitive equipment and fluids from freezing temperatures.

By embedding the radiant panels into the trailer infrastructure, the system not only protects tanks and pumps but also enhances the trailer’s overall functionality, making it a versatile option for industries requiring dependable cold-weather operations. This development highlights RPT’s commitment to pioneering practical and scalable heating solutions for specialized applications.

Sector: Structure Heat

Description:

Radiant Panel Technologies engineered a retro-fit heating solution for an agricultural command center trailer to improve interior comfort while reducing liquid propane (LP) consumption by at least 50%.

The system utilizes custom-designed heat panels installed between the trailer frame cross members and directly against the underside of the trailer deck. After installation and functional testing, the trailer’s underside was insulated with 2–3 inches of closed-cell foam to enhance thermal efficiency.

To optimize control and energy use, RPT replaced the original LP furnace thermostat with a custom-programmed PLC-based thermostat. This upgraded system manages both the radiant floor heating panels and the LP furnace, ensuring seamless integration and efficient temperature regulation throughout the trailer.

Sector: Ice and Snow Melt – Slip, Trip and Fall mitigation. 

Description:
Radiant Panel Technologies (RPT) partnered with one of the nation’s largest developers and builders of student housing facilities to design and engineer a cutting-edge solution to replace traditional hydronic heating systems for paver ice and snow melt applications. The objective was to create a more efficient, low-maintenance, and cost-effective alternative that would integrate seamlessly into the existing infrastructure while meeting stringent performance and safety standards.

The solution leverages RPT’s advanced graphene-based radiant heating technology, which eliminates the need for water circulation, boilers, and associated plumbing required by hydronic systems. Instead, electrically powered heating panels were designed to fit beneath the pavers, providing consistent and responsive heat distribution to prevent ice and snow accumulation. This approach not only reduces installation complexity but also minimizes energy loss and ongoing maintenance requirements.

From an engineering standpoint, RPT conducted detailed thermal modeling and load calculations to ensure the system could handle extreme weather conditions while maintaining energy efficiency. The system was also designed to integrate with smart control technologies, allowing for precise temperature regulation and energy usage optimization. By replacing hydronic heating with this innovative solution, RPT delivered a robust and scalable system that enhances safety, reliability, and operational efficiency for large-scale student housing projects.
