The role of Pex Tubing in the Radiant Floor Heating

The idea of Radiant Floor Heating is relatively simple and primitive form it was built by the ancient Romans, and Alaska eskimos, through its use grew in the Arctic Circle melons and watermelons.

The first thing you notice, setting a Radiant Floor Heating, is a major comfort. Paul is warm and pleasant to walk on it. The reason for greater comfort is that the heat transfer occurs with a large surface with a relatively low temperature of pex tubing.

Even distribution of heat, in addition to comfort, allows the use of lower coolant temperature. The room temperature can be lowered by 2 ° C compared to traditional radiators, without a change in the sensation of heat man (with pex tubing tools). Reduce temperature by 2 ° C provides a saving in energy consumption for the user about 12%.

Modern designs allow us to implement Radiant Floor Heating for all types of buildings and structures.

Radiant Floor Heating System is designed so that all hidden from view – visible only thermostats. This not only allows the best use of all the internal space of the premises, but also provides the freedom in architecture and design.

Radiant Floor Heating is today actively used in virtually all areas of construction: multi-storey houses, cottages and individual apartments, shops and shopping centers, heating field stadiums, sports grounds, roads and access roads, hangars, runways, etc.

Due to the extensive surface increases the amount of the heat radiated heat which, in contrast to the convection in the radiator heating, immediately distribute heat to the surrounding objects, thus providing a more uniform horizontal and vertical distribution of heat. When using water Radiant Floor Heating available and cold overheated zone, as in heating radiators (pex pipes, pex tubing, pex tools, pex, convectors, air systems).

With radiator heating share of heat transfer by convection is 80-100%. Ie establish conditions under which the superheated air rises up and cooling down, falls down. Thus due to air circulation is achieved average comfortable temperature in the room. The radiant component in the radiator heating system, as a rule, insignificant.

As people feel more comfortable in the cool air at the level of the head and warm feet, Radiant Floor Heating is a system of perfect uniform heat distribution.
