Anybody used the Arcticool System?
We’re doing a mid-sized addition in Central Arkansas. We’ll be using radiant heating. Has anyone used the Arcticool system for cooling? Any possibility of using radiant cooling?
Thanks for any comments/suggestions! Happy 4th!

i am curious about this subject, anytime it comes up the issue is what to do about the unwanted condensation.
i still think you will need something to "condition" the air to remove the humidity, therefore the radiant cooling is redundant.
i have not used the system you speak of, but have read about it. looking forward to more posts on the subject, bump
Thanks for the response. My understanding is that the radiant cooling system does remove the humidity - that's where the condensation comes from.
how does it do that? thats what i want to learn, that and if it is more efficient than AC.
Arcticool is not radiant cooling. It just uses an antifreeze mixture as the cooling media rather than freon. It has on outside chiller(compressor) that produces chilled water which is piped into a fan coil unit inside which cools the air and removes moisture. Here is some information about the system:
