Principle And Operation Of A Floor Heating System; Presentation Of The Remote Control - CIAT MicroCONNECT Manual De Uso Simplificado

3 ) PRINCIPLE AND OPERATION OF A FLOOR HEATING SYSTEM

To use a floor heating system, you must be aware of the following key points:
A floor heating system is an excellent means of heating since it uses low temperature
radiation to heat the atmosphere evenly without any interfering air movement.
Floor heating does not need to be very hot to be efficient. In fact it must never be very
hot. At most it should be quite warm during cold weather.
Given the effect of radiation, thermal comfort is generally obtained with lower air
temperatures than with traditional heating methods (convection).
Another advantage of floor heating is that it has very stable regulation, thereby avoiding
sudden changes of temperature. However, this great stability implies that reaction time is
in the region of several hours. This means that with floor heating, warming up is always
gradual and that temperature variations must be as low as possible.
Taking into account the above, CIAT has opted for regulation based on response as a
function of external temperature.
The temperature of the floor therefore depends on the temperature outdoors.
The specialists speak of regulation by water balance.
The regulation of this water balance must be left to your fitter who will adjust it as a
function of your dwelling and wishes.
