Vaporad
Radiant strips with steam generator
The only ones with patented Fraccaro condensation unit.
PERFORMANCE IN SAFETY
VAPORAD radiant strips are used to heat industrial or civil environments with specific fire prevention requirements where high radiant efficiency is required.
VAPORAD radiant strips are able to perfectly meet the needs for silent operation and the absence of air movement, heating small and large environments without issues. The absence of air movement and reduced heat stratification ensure excellent comfort and particularly favorable operating costs. VAPORAD radiant strips have a higher thermal emission than hot water ones, thus guaranteeing a greater amount of heat diffused per unit of radiant surface. The steam generator can be combined with the optional condenser to achieve very high overall efficiency.
Advantages
Diagram
VAPORAD radiant strip systems feature simple and essential components.
By using steam at 110°C as the heat transfer fluid, VAPORAD radiant strips allow for a 30% saving in installed radiant surface compared to hot water-powered strips, while maintaining the same level of environmental comfort.

Steam-powered VAPORAD radiant strips have a higher thermal emission than hot water ones and thus guarantee a greater amount of heat diffused per unit of radiant surface.
The system consists of a steam-generating boiler, steam supply and condensate return piping, radiant strips, and a vacuum control device that monitors the system’s pressure and temperature conditions and expels any excess air from the circuit.
The heat transfer fluid circuit is closed and air-free; this condition allows for the natural circulation of steam without the use of pumps, as occurs in water systems.
The steam, at a pressure of 0.5 bar, transfers its heat to the radiant plates, which thus reach a temperature of 105°C. Once its thermal energy is released, the steam condenses and returns to the boiler.
The entire process takes place at a constant temperature along the entire radiant strip, as the latent heat of steam condensation is utilized.
