Hydronic Heating
Zehnder Rittling's hydronic heating systems use hot water circulation through steel panel radiators and convectors to deliver efficient space heating. Our engineered solutions maintain consistent temperatures in commercial buildings while reducing energy consumption through precise heat distribution. The systems integrate with existing HVAC infrastructure for both new construction and retrofit projects.
Radiant Cooling
Our radiant cooling systems utilize chilled water circulating through ceiling panels to absorb heat through conduction. This energy-efficient method provides uniform cooling without air movement, reducing dust circulation while maintaining optimal indoor climate conditions in large commercial spaces like warehouses and sports facilities.
Chilled Beams
Zehnder's chilled beam technology uses elevated water temperatures above dew point to maximize chiller efficiency. These systems handle sensible cooling loads while integrating with primary air systems for humidity control, enabling free cooling in moderate climates through cooling tower connections without electric chillers.
Custom HVAC Design
Our CAD-engineered HVAC solutions provide tailored heating and cooling systems for unique architectural requirements. The design process incorporates energy modeling, thermal calculations, and modular component integration to ensure optimal performance across diverse applications from universities to industrial facilities.
Energy Efficiency Solutions
Zehnder Rittling's energy-saving systems reduce operational costs through advanced hydronic technology. Our radiant panels achieve 40%+ energy savings compared to conventional systems by optimizing heat transfer efficiency and enabling lower operating temperatures while maintaining occupant comfort.
