Step 10. Total Panel Output
Add the heat flow upward (g) to the design panel output (?<) and multiply by the design panel area to obtain the total panel output. If the design panel output is different from the panel output (94) used in Steps 3 and 4, the beat flow upward (?) should be redetermined.

Step II. Fluid Circuit
Design the fluid circuit (panel piping and mains) for a tem perature drop of 10 to 20 F deg between the water Inlet and outlet of the panel (see Chapter 28, Hot Water Heating Sys tems).
Step It. Boiler Size
Sire the boiler according to method contained in Chapter 35, Heating Boilers, Furnaces, and Space Heaters. The net Btu rating of the boiler should equal or exceed the total out put of all panels plus any other loads on the boiler.
Procedure for Metal Ceiling Panels1*
Follow the procedure for Hot Water Plaster Ceiling Panels.
Procedure for Concrete Ceiling Panels"
Concrete ceiling panels are distinguished from concrete floor panels in intermediate floors by the position of the tubes in the concrete slabs (see Tables 2 and 3). Both types of panels have heat outputs in both directions in amounts determined by the thermal resistances and the temperature differences in the two directions. The effect of both outputs on heating requirements of the spaces and the comfort of the occupants should alwayB be considered. (See section on Procedure for Concrete Floor Panels--Intermediate Slab.)
The procedure for hot water plaster ceiling panels cannot be applied in its entirety to concrete ceiling panels because some of the simplifying assumptions regarding the upward heat flow from plaster panels are not valid for concrete panels. The necessary modification of the plaster ceiling panel procedure is as follows:
Step 1. Beat Lost
Follow the procedure for Plaster Ceiling Panels, Step 1.
Step t. Required Panel Output
Follow the procedure for Plaster Ceiling Panels, Step 2.
