Applications
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 integrated into windows, walls, interior partitions and other architectural products and can be installed into new construction or retrofitted into existing buildings.
Operating Parameters
• The maximum Power*e Glass temperature is 130ºF.
• A Power*e Box AC operates in either Thermostat Mode or in Fixed Temperature Mode. In Thermostat Mode, a standard thermostat monitors the air temperature of the room and turns the Power*e Box and Glass off and on as needed. In Fixed Temperature Mode, a Power*e Box AC monitors and keeps the Power*e Glass at a preset temperature.
• Power*e Glass DC typically operates between 85ºF and 100ºF.
• The Power*e Glass warm-up time from power off is typically 10 minutes or less.
Power*e Glass Units
• Standard Power*e double paned insulated sealed window manufactured by Radiant Glass Industries LLC incorporating Pilkington TEC-15™ tempered low-e safety glass (inside glass pane) and any tempered clear, tinted, patterned, opaque or other glass (outside glass pane).
• Typical maximum glass size is 35 ft2. Larger sizes are available by special order. Overall unit thickness can be specified from 5/8 inches (15.875 mm) to 11/16 inches (26.9875 mm).
• Power*e Glass units are sealed using a 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 unit to the Power*e Box AC or DC power supplies.
Power*e Box
• Power*e Glass may be powered by 120 VAC Power*e Boxes or by low-voltage DC power supplies.
• A Power*e Box AC may power up to three Power*e Glass units.
• A DC power supply may power up to several Power*e Glass DC units depending upon their size and power needs.
• In Thermostat Mode, the Power*e Box AC and Glass is controlled by any standard thermostat or building system.
• In Fixed Temprature Mode, a Power*e Box AC monitors and keeps the Power*e Glass at a preset fixed temperature.
• A DC power supply typically monitors and keeps the Power*e Glass DC at a preset temperature.
• Power supplies sized to the Power*e Glass are required.
Safety Features
• Power*e systems incorporate a number of safety features including tempered glass, automatic glass temperature monitoring and automatic power cutoff for excessive operating temperatures or glass breakage.
Installation
• Power*e Glass and framing must be installed by qualified glazing contractors. Power*e Boxes must be installed by licensed electricians according to all applicable codes.
General
• Actual power output and consumption varies with differences such as building insulation and orientation, total glass surface area and Power*e Glass area, power supplies, glass surface temperature, inside and outside temperature differences, room configuration, frames and other heating sources.
