When the cold hits in winter, your first instinct is to turn up the heating, but that usually results in a huge power bill in the spring. Unfortunately for most people, it’s a choice between paying these power bills or feeling uncomfortably cold during the winter months. Floor heating system (Heat pump+ hydronic heating) is a solution that works well for many home owners.
The working principle of the floor heating system is to use the circulating hot water laid in the closed pipes below the floor to distribute heat evenly in the whole room. The circulating hot water needed in the system can be heated with any energy, such as traditional gas fired boilers, heat pump units, and renewable energy sources such as ground source heat pumps and solar energy.
-- What is floor heating?
It is understood that low temperature radiant floor heating is heated through the floor under the heat pipe - aluminum-plastic composite pipe or heating cable, the floor heating to the surface temperature of 18 to 32 degrees, even to the indoor radiant heat floor heating to achieve heating effect.
Compared with the traditional heating method, we can say that there are several advantages:
First, the temperature is uniform
Because of the uniform heat dissipation of the whole floor, the temperature difference in the room is very small. Moreover, the indoor temperature gradually decreases from bottom to top, and the surface temperature is higher than that of the human respiratory system.
Second, healthy environment
The radiator is used for heating. The normal water temperature is above 70 C, but when the temperature reaches 80 C, dust clusters will be formed, so that the wall above the heater will be covered with dust. Floor heating can eliminate the convection of dust and turbid air and give people a fresh, warm and healthy environment.
Third, high efficiency and energy saving
Due to the large radiant surface of heating, the relative requirement of water temperature is low, only 40 to 50 degrees Celsius. Moreover, it can overcome the disadvantages of the traditional heating piece losing heat from windows and affecting the heating effect.
Fourth, save space
Because the heating pipes are all laid under the floor, the space for placing the heating sheets is saved, and indoor decoration and furniture placement are convenient.
Another way of floor heating is called "water solid wood composite flooring".
Pay attention to ground heating
The ground heating system is the most popular and advocated heating mode in the world at present. This method is still most comfortable in terms of energy saving, material saving, ground saving and space saving.
At present, the floor heating system has been widely accepted and recognized in the vast areas of Europe, North America and East Asia.
