This radiant heating method works on the same principal as the average central heating installations in homes.
The hot water or steam heats the pipes which in turn give off the heat to the air in the greenhouse distribution pipes are discussed in more detail under heat distribution.
Both gas and oil fired boilers use controlled combustion of the fuel to heat water.
