5. Trace heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trace_heating

   The combination of trace heating and the correct thermal insulation for the operating ambient temperature maintains a thermal balance where the heat output from the trace heating matches the heat loss from the pipe. Self-limiting or regulating heating tapes have been developed and are very successful in this application. A similar principle can ...

6. Frost line - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost_line

   The frost depth depends on the climatic conditions of an area, the heat transfer properties of the soil and adjacent materials, and on nearby heat sources. For example, snow cover and asphalt insulate the ground and homes can heat the ground (see also heat island). The line varies by latitude, it is deeper closer to the poles.

7. Pipe insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_insulation

   Insulated hot water supply and return hydronic piping on a gas-fired boiler. Since pipework can operate at temperatures far removed from the ambient temperature, and the rate of heat flow from a pipe is related to the temperature differential between the pipe and the surrounding ambient air, heat flow from pipework can be considerable.

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   Hydronic radiant floor heating systems use a boiler or district heating to heat water and a pump to circulate the hot water in plastic pipes installed in a concrete slab. The pipes, embedded in the floor, carry heated water that conducts warmth to the surface of the floor, where it broadcasts heat energy to the room above.
