Modular back side radiant heating panels with spring retention devices

摘要

A modular temperature controlling panel for location adjacent a rear side of a room surface and between spaced penetrable structural framing members for supporting the room surface includes: an insulating core having a contact surface for location adjacent the room surface and a non-contact surface opposite the room surface; a linear thermal source recessed within the core on the contact surface; a metallic sheet on the contact surface of the core for contacting the linear thermal source; and a spring retention device on the non-contact surface of the core for securing the core between the spaced framing members and for urging the contact surface towards the room surface. The spring retention device is rotatable about a rotation axis perpendicular to the framing members between a loaded position for confining the spring retention device within the core and a secured position for biasing the spring retention device to penetrate the spaced framing members and urge the contact face of the core towards the room surface.
