Can some body give some URLs for 'Radiant cooling panel manufacturers' which are internationally available please?
Don't these big guns carrier or trane make Radiant cooling panels? I could not find some thing of the kind on there websites. Or radiant heating panels are used as it is for cooling also?I have heard that this is more common in europe than US, then there must be some europian manufacrers specialising in it.

Thanks

I think you are confusing chilled ceilings with radiant heating panels. Here is a link to an association whose members make and install chilled ceilings and beams. http://www.feta.co.uk/cca/

Thanks fellows for the advice and link. Chilled ceiling is radiant cooling I presume, or just a fancy name for chilled ceiling.
Bult after searching the web even through Copernic Pro I could get surprisingly little information aboput this mode of cooling.

though every where it is mentioned with very favourable remarks over forced convective cooling, but may be it need very large surface area for same cooling load or what?
Little frustrating.

I don't think it depends on size but with any cooling system you have got to match the heat load for effective cooling.

As these chilled ceilings (or beams) operate on secondary refrigerant it is quite easy to regulate the flow through them and so the cooling duty can be controlled as the room load varies.
