Underfloor heating of all heating systems used in the home, today considered the most popular. The reason for this interest in the similar manner to that home heating is caused by the high efficiency of the heating system and increase the technological possibilities for interior design. Water system in contrast to other methods of heating are comfortable and practical to use. By circulating through the pipeline prepared to a desired coolant temperature, heat is transferred to the surrounding space.
Heated floor in this regard favorably with radiator heating. Due to the water circuit, arranged in the body of the concrete screed, achieved uniform heating of the entire surface of the floor. The effectiveness of this method of heating graphically demonstrated in the picture.
It is to elaborate on how the device looks and floor heating construction with vodotsirkulyatsionnym heated, due to the growing popularity of this heating method.
Features heating system "water warm floor"
The name of the heating system already speaks for itself about what operating principle lies at the heart of this option. Most of the work in this system performs hot water flowing in the main conduit. Water may be heated as a result of auxiliary boiler. There are variants with vodotsirkulyatsionnym heated, which use coolant entering the house of the district heating line. However, such embodiments are most commonly used as an auxiliary heating method. For high-grade heating the entire area of a residential building used full autonomous heating system with a large number of heating water circuits and a lot of additional equipment.
Installation of floor heating vodotsirkulyatsionnogo associated with a large amount of work, so these options are best suited for new housing equipment. The country houses and cottages Warm floors are becoming very popular. Technological parameters of residential properties allow freely to mount a similar heating circuit without worrying about the consequences. The inhabitants of apartments in multi-storey houses heating floors as a complete heating system can only dream of.
Important! The reason for this situation is the presence of an official ban on equipment water circuits in the floor. Design features of a residential apartment building, underfloor heating device does not allow to realize the option of heating without damage to the house neighbors.
Yield in a similar situation for a city apartment will water the floor, which can be fitted in a limited area. Using centralized hot water or central heating system via vodotsirkulyatsionnogo preheating can increase the comfort level in the bathroom or in the kitchen. To implement this scheme, you will need a bit of ingenuity, the concept of device systems, and skills. In a private house to carry out installation of underfloor heating is not too much trouble, especially when it comes to the new structure, rather than the reconstruction of the old house.
The main features of warm water floor, on which you should pay attention to the following:
- high efficiency;
- the availability of supplies and maintenance equipment;
- easy installation of the heating circuits;
- practicality and ease of use;
- easy handling and adjustment of the system;
- a high level of comfort in a heated room;
- new possibilities for interior design of heated space.
With all the obvious advantages, the heating system "warm water underfloor heating vodotsirkulyatsionnym is a complex and multi-function design. The operating principle of the equipment and accessories necessary instruments and devices identify the device of the heating system, so the mere design of heating floors are best left to the professionals.
Subsequent installation, the installation of individual heating elements of the equipment, including the laying of water circuits, the problem is also not easy. However, subject to certain rules, instructions and advice of professionals, it is possible to make such a self-heating.
Construction and flooring unit water
If the principle of operation of floor heating situation is more or less clear, then the device necessary to understand the whole complex. The main part of vodotsirkulyatsionnoy heating - water heating circuits that can be made of metal and plastic, cross-linked polymer or other acceptable materials. The tube is the main channel through which the circulating warm water (note warm, not hot water). Due to the flexibility of consumables required number of loops is reached, by which the whole area covered by the prepared surface.
Hot water circulating along a water circuit transmits heat inlaid concrete screed or wooden structure. The speed and intensity of the water flow is achieved by operating the circulating pump. A water conduit or the heating circuit is normally mounted under a coupler. For example, we can look at the drawing, which shows a sectional Heated floor. The thickness of the layer cake, in this case rather large, hence the difficulty in installing such systems in apartment houses.
On a note: with standard ceiling height of 240-250 cm and 12-15 cm to spend the internal volume of the room on a warm floor, impractical and inefficient. Moreover, such a construction that the weight is 200-300 kg per m2. Withstand this extra weight floor slab in a building - a question!
If the pipes are the main working elements of system floors hot water, then heating the complex heart can rightly be regarded as the collector.
The collector node is a complex consisting of two combs for supplying warm water and a conduit for collecting the waste liquid. With a collector made of water distribution by the heating circuits. Depending on the amount of hot-water pipes, laid in a floor, manifold design selected. On the combs should be as many weekends and outlet connections as loop laid on the floor.
The collector, the expenditure comb set flowSmall priborchiki fixing the amount of water supplied to the heating system. Water enters the collector through the circulation pump.
For reference: The natural circulation of the coolant in the conduit underfloor possible only if you have connected to the central heating circuit heating or hot water pipe. Here you can get relief valves and three-way stopcock. The speed and intensity of the flow is constant in this case. Adjusting the intensity of the water floor heating with this connection is not provided.
Such an embodiment, the heating circuit connection for underfloor heating to towel warmersIs shown in the figure. It is common practice for city apartments, where installation of a complete heating system by the heating can not be equality.
Specificity vodotsirkulyatsionnogo heating
To achieve proper operation of the heating of the complex may be, subject to stacking technology and the piping is connected properly service equipment. Pipes can be used only by those who have special markings indicating material accessory for floor heating. The number of circuits and their length is determined by the magnitude of the heating system and the tasks that are set before the heating complex.
Backbone water floor heating must be solid, without joints and other connections. The reliability of the connection to be leak-proof manifold nozzles. Compliance technology laying the floor heating loops ensures evenness pipe laying screed and level surface.
Important! The deviation of the horizontal position of the pipeline 1-20 may cause disturbances coolant circulation inside the heating channel. As a result, the pump operates with high load, there is a difference in heating the floor covering the entire area of the heated space.
Mandatory set of heating equipment is shut-off valve that provides switching on and off the heating mode. The three-way valve, air vent, drain valve and the safety valve may be manually controlled or used devices equipped with thermal head. Thermostats in the system determine the temperature, giving a signal to start operation of equipment maintenance.
Thermostats are usually mounted on the wall panels, heated space, fixing any change in temperature from the desired norm. Setting the thermostat to a certain temperature, it is possible to achieve automatic operation of heating equipment throughout the system of underfloor heating.
As and any complex designs require underfloor heating control and regulation. Initial configuration of all devices reveals committed errors in installation and connection. No further configuration is already done in accordance with the required conditions of comfort in the house. Adjustment is carried out by means of thermostats, which can respectively be manual and automatic.
conclusion
Installation vodotsirkulyatsionnogo heating system will provide you the necessary comfort and cosiness in the house. Due to its special construction and water floor heating system device, the heating type is very convenient to operate. Adjustment can be made in two versions, both automatic and manual mode.
Automation is ideal for heating with vodotsirkulyatsiey in larger indoor area. Configured electromechanical or electronic thermostats not only control the heat medium heating temperature, but also monitor the operation of the entire equipment. control devices in manual mode are reliable and suitable for those cases where underfloor heating is used as an auxiliary heating option.
