Types of electrical floor heating systems
Well-established production of electric floor heating systems touches with concern for the consumer. In the delivery set of any underfloor heating system, in addition to the electrical circuit, there is a detailed instruction for manual installation. Take it and do it!
The system of electric floor heating in apartments and houses is no longer a curiosity, especially as the types of systems presented in the market of materials and equipment have a varied configuration and a range of power indicators. Starting from the moment of purchasing the heating system and the device for self-assembly, it is recommended to make a reasonable calculation of the components of the system.
Let's say that there are the following types of electric underfloor heating:
• traditional cable (convection) in the form of a skein of finished sections
• film and rod infrared.
Types of heating systems are distinguished by the technology of laying and qualitative characteristics giving an idea of the electric warm floor, which one to choose.
By what parameters is the heating system selected
When choosing a heating system, you need to focus on the parameters and characteristics: the type of room, the surface area of the heating surface and the intended type of heating. Moreover, each type of heating electrical system determines its installation technology and methods of laying the warm floor, outlined by the restrictions on use.
Helpful Tips
Recall that the power of the heating cable of the convection system depends on the size and type of premises involved in the preliminary calculation of the heating power. The closed area of the room, delimited by partitions with thick outer walls, is a variant of a warm room, and a premise on the ground floor with insufficient thermal protection is a variant of a cold room. Naturally, the results of calculating the cable heating will be different.
calculation of the parameters of the heating cable system
The choice and construction of a warm electric floor begins with the calculation of the heating power, the pitch of the cable, the length of the standard mounting tape.
calculation of heating power
The calculation is preferable to make using an on line calculator, the algorithm of the program which contains the calculated formula and tabulated values of specific power.
calculate the step of laying the cable
When calculating the pitch (distance), use the length formula of the heating cable:
h = (S x 100) / L (cm)
where: S - laying area m²,
L - length of heating cable m.
It should be remembered that the laying step determines the thickness of the concrete screed of the electric floor under the linoleum, therefore, for the thickness of the screed of the traditional cement-sand mortar min, the screed thickness is 3 cm, with a stacking distance of not more than 12.5 cm.
calculation of the mounting tape
To install the cable floor heating system from the manufacturer, use the electrical scheme of the warm floor, for the fixing of the heating cables, use a perforated mounting tape made taking into account the selection of an interval of 2.5 cm between the turns.
Basic device technology, laying and installation rules
The basic technology of the electric floor heating device is the same and consists in creating and preparing a working surface for placing heating sections of cable or heating mats for the warm floor. The first thing that is done before the flooring and laying of heating sections or an element is the choice of the location for mounting the thermostat.
In the future location of the device on the wall, a notch and a trunk are laid to lay the cable that feeds the system. Then the working surface of the floor is laid with heat-insulating material and fixed. On top of the thermal insulation floor, the mounting tape is placed and the sections of the heating cable are laid according to the design scheme with a predetermined step that must be observed throughout the entire line.
At the end of the installation, wire connections are made and an internal sensor is installed, which is placed in the corrugated tube. Then, resistance measurements are made on the sections of the line and the sensor, which must correspond to the declared parameters of the technical passport. After testing and testing the cable floor heating, the screed is filled with a uniform distribution of the layer along the entire line.
Helpful Tips
Basic technology and rules for laying heating sections are successfully used for electric underfloor heating under a laminate or tile. Heating mats can be laid on an old screed, directly in the layer of applied tile glue. This concludes the undeniable advantages of heating floors, successfully applied in the premises of private houses with a complex perimeter and the ability to control the warm floor.
However, an alternative to the substantial cost of heating warm floors can be confidently considered film warm floors electric under the tile and cable floor heating on the base, claimed today by developers.
How to install a cable heating electrical system using technology and a floor device, is shown in the video.
