Peak performance due to thermoactive components (TABS)

Thermoactive component systems (TABS) use the ceilings, walls or ground plate as mass storage tank in conjunction with a low temperature heating system for large radiation areas for heating and cooling. Thus solar-generated thermal energy is conducted almost without storage losses as thermal activation to the building substance and the rooms are effectively temperature controlled. For this purpose, pipe register is mounted into the concrete slabs.
Hot or cold water circulates in the pipe registers and thus the concrete core of the building is activated to heat or to cool by releasing energy to the room or taking energy from the room. Like any thermal storage tank, the thermally activated component bridges the temporal difference between energy supply and energy demand.
The large heat transmitting areas makes it possible to release substantial amount of output to the room at already low over- or under-temperatures. Hence TABS-Systems can effectively utilize the comparatively small temperature difference of natural heat sinks (summer) or heat sources (winter) compared to the room temperature: solar energy, ground, ground water, outdoor air. The use of solar energy under application of TABS is one of the most effective forms of the solar room heating, as the total energy is brought into the building without storage losses.


Product description

IMMOSOLAR-TABS fulfills the highest requirements: freedom from draft air, energy optimization and -minimization, low maintenance expenditure and noise reduction. The thermal component activation inserts water-flown pipe systems inside the concrete components, which simultaneously represent a space limitation. The loading and unloading takes place with delay, thus filling temporal differences between supply and demand.

  • Inserted pipe register mats with external diameter 16 to 20 mm
  • Specific cooling capacity: max. approx. 42 W/m2 (raw ceiling and floor) or max. approx. 35 W/m2 (ceiling with thermally suitable acoustic plates/ double floor)
  • System temperatures:_- for cooling approx. 17/ 19 °C_- for heating approx. 26/ 28 °C
