Nucap Industries Inc.最近开发了一种新的金属制造技术，该技术为金属表面**提供了结构特征，简化了与其他材料的粘合并增强了热传递。这种新的金属**产品非常适合用于建造现代高效的地板辐射采暖系统。这些**地板供暖系统特别适合地热和太阳能技术**，与强迫空气或传统散热器相比，它们往往能提供更大的舒适性。地板辐射供暖系统仍然相对昂贵，因此它们的采用受到了阻碍，它们所支持的可再生技术-地热和太阳能供暖也受到了阻碍。**拟议的研究计划将从热传递效率的角度为这些新的**金属表面的功能开发详细的计算机模拟。预计更大比例的热量可以**传导到被占用的空间，从而节省能源。这项研究将寻求量化这种**影响。这项研究将支持清洁能源系统，并消除对化石燃料的依赖，这将**导致加拿大的碳足迹总体减少，从而改善公共健康并减少**对环境的影响。

Nucap Industries Inc. has recently developed a new metal manufacturing technique that provides metal surfaces**with structural features that simplify adhesion to other materials and enhance heat transfer. The new metal**product lends itself well for use in the construction of modern efficient radiant in-floor heating systems. These**in-floor heating systems are particularly well-suited for use with geo-thermal and solar thermal technologies,**and tend to provide greater occupant comfort compared to forced air or traditional radiators. In-floor radiant**heating systems are still relatively expensive, and therefore their adoption has been hindered, and so too**somewhat have the renewable technologies they support - geothermal and solar heating.**The proposed research program will develop detailed computer simulations for the functionality of these new**metal surfaces from a heat transfer efficacy perspective. It is expected that a greater portion of heat can be**conducted into the occupied space, thereby leading to energy savings. The research will seek to quantify that**effect. This research will support clean energy systems, and removing dependency on fossil fuels, which will**result in an overall reduction in Canada's carbon footprint, leading to improved public health and reduced**environmental impact.
