Runtal Radiadores, a company specializing in the design, manufacturing and marketing of custom radiators, has won a contract to install a heating system for Reina Sofía Foundation’s Alzheimer Patient Center, at Vallecas, Madrid. The center, with an area of 11,200 square meters, is a pioneering project designed to provide health care to the patients, research on the disease and training of volunteers, family members and health care professionals. According to Construnario.net, total heating budget is approx. 55,000 euro.

Due to the Center’s special layout, with a succession of patios, corridors and rooms all glass walled, there was the need to fit radiators into a clean, straight line environment. That is why Runtal models were chosen.

On the one hand, the choice fell on Runtal Radiavector, a base convector radiador, with 350 units. This model is at top performance in this kind of buildings as it prevents glass condensation in an effective way and reduces considerably the “cold wall” effect so common in this kind of material. These radiators include sets of horizontal welded flat tubes and fins available in many sizes and allow for the installation of high capacity equipment in very limited spaces.

The other model selected for this project is Runtal Jet-x, usually installed in opaque walls as they fit in well with the radiador design, even with the vertical model. It is made of ultra flat steel tubes, welded and autonomous, without edges or corners, which makes cleaning easier due to is totally flat structure. In the center there are ten units of this model.
