A major transformation is taking place in industrial heating systems. Hydronic radiant panel (SRP) technology is replacing conventional convection systems — offering a new era of energy efficiency and sustainability. Yet this shift is not only practical but also scientific, driven by R&D-based engineering.
Through TÜBİTAK’s 1507 TEYDEB-supported SRP-focused R&D projects, local manufacturers are advancing homegrown technologies that make industrial heating more economical and eco-friendly.
Why SRP Systems Are a Research Topic
SRP systems heat by radiation rather than by air convection, delivering comfort and efficiency in high-ceiling facilities. However, their performance depends on the optimization of parameters such as panel coating, pipe layout, water temperature, and radiation angle — making R&D essential to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.
About the 1507 TEYDEB Program
The 1507 – SME R&D Startup Support Program helps companies gain early R&D experience through funding for technology development, prototyping, testing, and commercialization. For SRP manufacturers, it represents an opportunity to strengthen competitiveness, minimize import dependency, and drive exports.
Project Goals
Key goals of SRP-oriented 1507 projects include:
- Developing advanced reflective coatings for higher radiation efficiency
- Optimizing piping according to water flow and temperature parameters
- Designing low-temperature SRP systems compatible with waste-heat recovery
- Creating modular panels for easier installation
- Integrating smart control and automation for dynamic heat management
- Building patentable and innovative technologies
Example: Neoplant’s SRP R&D Project
Neoplant’s TEYDEB-supported project focuses on high-efficiency panels operating at lower water temperatures. The project includes:
- Testing composite reflective surfaces instead of traditional steel panels
- Modeling waste-heat integration scenarios, achieving 38% higher energy efficiency
- Developing IoT-based smart control algorithms that adjust system temperature automatically
- Successfully testing prototypes and launching field applications
What SRP-Based R&D Projects Deliver
These projects provide companies with:
- Product differentiation and competitive advantage
- Technical superiority in export markets
- Enhanced brand value and market positioning
- Intellectual property rights (patents, utility models)
- Financial risk mitigation through state-supported funding
In addition, SRP technologies align with green building certifications, carbon reduction targets, and energy efficiency incentives.
Conclusion: Creating Technology, Not Just Heat
Hydronic radiant panel systems represent more than efficient heating—they are a gateway to domestic technological innovation.
With TÜBİTAK 1507 TEYDEB’s support, these systems are becoming more efficient, sustainable, and accessible.
For companies developing or manufacturing SRP systems, leveraging programs like 1507 can transform your R&D idea into a commercially viable, future-ready innovation.
