>>FLOOR HEATING SYSTEM

THE THERMAL WELL-BEING

When the temperature has a particular distribution in relation to height, a certain comfort is created in the room. Such a temperature distribution is defined the ideal curve of thermal well-being. In order to create a condition of "thermal well-being", there must be slightly warmer areas near the floor and slightly colder areas near the ceiling. For every heating system it is possible to trace a distribution curve of the temperatures. In underfloor heating systems, the particular arrangement of the radiant panels and the heat transfer by radiation generates a stratification of the temperatures, which is closest to the ideal curve.

Ideal curve of Thermal Well-being

Such distribution of the temperature comes defined ideal curve of thermal well-being. For having a condition of "thermal well-being" zones must therefore be had more warmth to the pavement and more cold to the ceiling.

For every system of heating curve of distribution of the temperatures is possible to trace one.

While in the traditional heating to "heaters" the stratification of the represented temperatures in the figure is had low, in which the formation of convettivi motions can be intuire, phenomenon that cause increasing temperatures from the pavement towards the ceiling (negative condition not only to the ends of the energetic consumption, but that power of attorney also one unfavorable condition of comfort).

In the systems of heating to pavement the particular positioning of the radiating panels and the cession of heat for radiation generate a stratification of the temperatures that is approached the ideal curve mainly.

The emanation of the heat happens through all the surface of the pavement and the difference of temperature of the pavement regarding the atmosphere turns out modest and such not to graft convettivi motions in the air. Clean and comfortable atmospheres are obtained therefore, with absence of movements of powders, frequent cause of allergic phenomena.
