Applications

For Hydronic Heating Systems

Zehnder Rittling engineers can custom-build heating and cooling equipment for virtually any mechanical specification or architectural requirement. The result of more than a half century of forward thinking, smart management and cost-saving innovation, Zehnder Rittling’s products represent a triumph of modern engineering and a perpetual desire to break new ground.

Zehnder Rittling’s commitment to design innovation and its unlimited custom engineering capabilities have resulted in a constantly expanding product offering making us the perfect fit for all of your indoor climate needs. Our diversity and flexibility have removed the constraints of designing around limited catalog selections, allowing architects and engineers the freedom to apply standard HVAC products in extraordinary ways. Our philosophy continues to be, “if you can draw it, we can build it.”

Wall and Floor

Applications where the building envelope has higher heat loss for example glass vestibules, linear products such as Element and Enclosure have been utilized for decades. Whereas in areas that linear applications cannot be used more unitary products are available with higher capacities for smaller spaces.

 

Element and Enclosure

  • Electricity is not accessible at emitter
  • Wall to wall installations
  • High down draft conditions

 

Cabinet Convector

  • Electricity is not accessible at emitter
  • Unitary type product
  • Interior space

 

Cabinet Unit Heater

  • High capacity needs
  • Electricity is accessible at emitter
  • Unitary type product

 

Panel Radiator

  • Electricity is not accessible at emitter
  • Perimeter space
  • Lower water temperature

 

Induction Unit

  • Electricity is not accessible at emitter
  • Replacement
  • Ventilation integration required

 

Ceiling

When there is limited access to the floor and wall, ceiling applications are used. Generally hydronic heating ceiling products are unitary type besides radiant. Ceiling applications have higher capacity units available. Force convective products overcome greater air flow and throw than Linear. When perimeter applications start to tie into ceiling applications Radiant applications may be preferred, please reference the Radiant Systems for more details.
