Thermal Imaging (Case 12)
Case Twelve: Radiant Flooring Commissioning.
Building Type: Water treatment facility.
Observation: During functional testing of a radiant floor system, I discovered several loops that were not circulating water.
Type: Functional Performance testing.
Cause: The manifold that distributed the water through the individual loops were not adjusted properly, starving water from several loops.
Image below shows a radiant distribution manifold. Note several loops are not flowing water
Manifold not distributed water evenly.
