Riotherm Convec – Convectors for Heating and Cooling

Riotherm Convec guides room air in a controlled way over water-based heat exchangers, brings it to temperature and returns it quietly to the room. This produces heating and cooling output with low air velocity and flow temperatures close to the room.

The sill version can accommodate an integrated cable duct. Technology, cabling and indoor climate are thereby brought together in one functional component.
Access remains simple and supports planning, use and later maintenance.

Riotherm Convec underfloor is integrated entirely within the raised floor.
Depending on the capacity required, the underfloor version can be planned with different overall heights – right through to particularly compact solutions where raised floor space is limited.

The visible air outlet can be designed as a linear grille or as a roll-up grating. The air outlet can thus be adapted to the floor covering, the use and the architectural design.
The technology therefore stays functionally effective without dominating the spatial effect.

Riotherm Convec vertical is suitable for situations in which a sill or underfloor installation is not possible. The unit can be used free-standing in the room or as a wall unit – including in retrofits and where there are particular architectural requirements.

Depending on the room, the capacity and the design, Riotherm Convec vertical can be executed as a compact square unit or as a wider solution running along the wall.
The form can therefore be adapted to the spatial effect, the use and the available space – from the discreet single unit to the integrated wall solution.

For particular spatial or technical requirements, Riotherm Convec can be integrated into ceiling situations on a project-specific basis.
This solution is suitable for industrial halls, production areas and storage areas.

20 °C for cooling and 26 °C for heating reduce the temperature lift and favour free cooling as well as low-temperature heat.

Low air velocities and whisper-quiet fans ensure a high level of comfort without noticeably burdening the room with technology.

Convective transfer responds immediately to changing heat loads and stabilises the indoor climate without large thermal masses.

Condensate-free operation and doing without air filters simplify the technology, cleaning and ongoing maintenance.

Riotherm Convec operates with water flow temperatures of 20 °C for cooling and 26 °C for heating. The low temperature lift creates ideal conditions for free cooling, low-temperature heat and waste heat recovery – and reduces the energy required for heating and cooling across the life cycle.

For healthcare facilities, care institutions and retirement homes, Riotherm Convec can optionally be equipped with integrated UV-C disinfection. The UV-C tube is integrated into the unit’s shielded air path and irradiates the air passing through.
This significantly reduces viruses and other microorganisms in the air.

In new builds, renovations and temporary structures, Riotherm Convec brings classrooms to temperature quietly and without draughts. The case study shows different installation situations – from the retrofitted sill to the solution integrated from the outset.

Well prepared for the first conversation

Christoph Diem, Head of Climate Engineering, answers three questions about starting a Riotherm project.

For an initial assessment we need the key details about the building: type of use, energy reference area (ERA) and any available planning documents. Floor plans and façade sections are particularly helpful. They allow us to evaluate the spatial and technical starting point and develop a first solution approach.

Ideally the client, the architects and the HVAC planners are all involved from the outset. That way we can look at requirements, spatial options and technical conditions together – and clarify open questions early on.

Once we have reviewed the documents, we present our first solution approach in a video call and develop it further together. We then recommend visiting a suitable reference installation. On that basis we refine the solution and prepare the quotation.
