The classification of floor heating includes the following (including but not limited to):
According to different heat media, it can be divided into liquid circulation system and electric floor heating;
According to the different pavement structures, it can be divided into dry floor heating and wet floor heating;
According to the different surface decoration materials, it can also be divided into floor heating and floor tile heating;
According to different functions, it can also be divided into ordinary floor heating and far-infrared floor heating.
Liquid circulation system Liquid circulation system, that is, low-temperature hot water floor radiation heating, uses hot water with a temperature not higher than 60℃ as heating medium, heats the floor circularly in the heating pipeline, and supplies heat to the room through ground radiation and convection. Central heating in northern China is mainly water heating.
Electric floor heating Electric floor heating is a heating method that different heating materials are buried in the ground, the heating materials are used as the heat source to heat the floor, and the room temperature or floor temperature is controlled by a thermostat to realize floor radiation heating. According to the different heating materials, electric floor heating can also be roughly divided into graphene floor heating, carbon crystal floor heating, cable floor heating and so on.
As the earliest floor heating, liquid circulation system is the most familiar type of floor heating, with good heating effect, and generally consists of boilers, pipelines, distribution manifolds, valves, temperature control and other components; But the boiler needs to be replaced regularly, and the waste water in the water pipe needs to be cleaned up later. Although the technology is mature, the later maintenance will be more troublesome.
Electric floor heating is the fastest innovation in recent years. With the development of graphene floor heating, electric floor heating has undergone many improvements. In addition to the heating film, after the floor heating is finished, it only needs to be connected with the temperature control without the boiler. Half an hour to 1 hour can be raised to a comfortable temperature, which is faster than water heating; There is basically no maintenance except that the temperature control may be damaged and replaced.
Wet floor heating The so-called wet floor heating means that the floor heating pipeline is embedded with concrete, and then floor materials such as floor and tiles are laid on the concrete layer, which is the most mature installation technology of water heating floor heating at present.
Dry floor heating, also known as modern thin floor heating, is mainly based on on-site splicing of embedded modules, which is mainly used for home heating with low floors.
Wetlands need to be backfilled when they are warm, so the occupied floor is high, the feet feel hard and the temperature rises slowly, but the bearing capacity per square meter of the ground is relatively high; Because of the complicated working procedure, it is difficult to cooperate in construction. Generally, it is installed and maintained in the early stage of decoration, but the price is relatively cheap (depending on the quality of materials).
Dry floor heating does not need to be backfilled, so the construction is very convenient, it hardly occupies too many floors, and the foot feels more comfortable. The heating rate is much faster than that of wet floor heating, and it is relatively expensive (depending on the material).
Floor floor heating and floor tile floor heating as the name implies, floor floor heating is paving the floor, and floor tile floor heating is paving the floor tile. The floor has strong thermal insulation, good paving effect, good thermal conductivity and stability without deformation; In addition to the differences in materials, the differences in other aspects are actually not great, mainly based on the style of home improvement to choose which materials to install.
Ordinary floor heating and far-infrared floor heating Far-infrared floor heating mainly refers to floor heating that can release far-infrared rays with a wavelength of 8~ 14μm by infrared radiation. Because it coincides with the far-infrared rays released by the human body and the warm band of sunbathing in winter, the temperature felt by the human body is relatively stable and it feels a bit like sunbathing.
Of course, different types of floor heating also have different advantages and disadvantages. If you have considered installing floor heating, it is recommended to know more and compare more, and then choose the floor heating that suits you best.
