Power*e™ Glass Unit
Standard Power*e™ double paned insulated sealed window manufactured by Radiant
Glass Industries LLC incorporating Pilkington Tek-15 tempered low-e safety glass
(inside glass pane) and any tempered glass (outside glass pane). Typical maximum
glass size is 35 ft2. Overall unit thickness can be specified from ⅝ inches (15.875 mm)
to 11/16 inches (26.9875 mm). The Power*e™ Glass unit uses an Edgetech™ True warm
edge super spacer technology and is sealed using D-2000 reactive hot melt butyl
sealant. All electrical heating components are sealed within the unit except for
electric and control wires that extend from one corner of each sealed unit.
Operating Parameters
The maximum glass surface temperature is 115ºF. The typical warm-up to sensible
emittance time is 8 to 10 minutes. Power*e™ Glass windows are extremely efficient:
combining radiant heat and building heat loss stoppage through the glass
pulsing the electric current to maintain the preset surface glass temperature
enabling lower ambient air temperatures without comfort loss.
Actual power output and consumption varies with variables such as glass surface
temperature, inside and outside temperature differences, room configuration and
other heating sources.
Features
Power*e™ Glass units can be used as windows, glass walls and panels, and glass
divider walls for cubicle conditioning in the core of the building. Power*e™ Glass
units can be adjusted to any target temperature up to 115ºF and can be installed in
parallel or series for on-demand zoned heating. Exterior Power*e™ Glass windows
stop 100% of other building heat loss through the heated glass.
Safety Features and Standards
Power*e™ Glass windows incorporate a number of safety features including tempered
glass, automatic glass temperature monitoring and automatic power cutoff for
excessive operating temperatures or glass breakage. The Power*e™ Glass unit is
certified by Intertek ETL - SEMKO Testing Services to Safety Standard for Sheathed
Heating Elements, UL 1030 7th Edition.
Frames
Frames for Power*e™ Glass units are required (supplied by installer) and may be any
metal, wood, vinyl or other industry standard framing. Typical frames will cover or
hide all internal electrical heating components.
Power Supply and Controls
Power*e™ Glass windows are designed to be controlled by industry standard climate
controls. 120 volt AC to 50 volt DC power supplies or inverters sized to the Power*e™
Glass windows are required. The maximum voltage input is 50 volts DC, and the
maximum current input is 15 amps. Typically a Power*e™ Glass window operates at
50 volts, 4 amps, 200 watts and 40% duty cycle. Power*e™ Glass windows are designed
to use Class 2 wiring (AWG).
Installation
Power*e™ Glass windows shall be installed by qualified glazing contractors and
electricians according to all applicable codes.
