Learn to lay cable for floor heating - it is not even half the battle. Much more important to calculate how much it is necessary for the required heat transfer, and thus the allocated power. Each cable has its own characteristics. They show how much energy it can release during operation. It denoted in this figure W / m. Product Data Sheet necessarily reflect the figure.
When using electrical "warm floor" generally guided by indicators power allocated to a specific area. These figures differ. They can depend on:
- The nature of the application of "warm floor" - is this heating system, not supported by the other heat sources, or it will be used only for heating to a comfortable temperature (as auxiliary element);
- Points of contact with the floor cold media (soil, outside air);
Such nuances are already included in the online calculator program.
Particularly important area of the premises. When placed on its stationary household appliances or furniture, lining warms wires are not made under them. Its distance from the wall should not be less than 500 mm. Space heaters should also stay away - at least 10 cm away from the wire. The best would be a preliminary drafting - on it will be easier to calculate the area, which will be laid termoprovod.
After making all the necessary parameters in the appropriate fields online calculator and press "Calculate" button, we obtain the desired length. When you purchase the necessary wires selected with the closest characteristics.
When the calculated length of material purchased, you can proceed to step distance calculations during laying. This is done by Others calculator.
The correct calculation will ensure the longevity of the system. If errors may overheat or vice versa - insufficient heat conductor. Excessive heating will inevitably lead to burning-off of the cable, which threatens complete system failure. The lack of contrast, would nullify all the efforts and costs for heating floors. This means taking advantage of the online calculator you can not worry about the quality of the calculations.
