HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
2000 years ago
Heating systems inspired by this idea were built by the Chinese, Egyptians and Romans.
1900
At the start of this century floor heating appears in its present form. Hot water cycles inside a tube burred under ground.
In London in 1909, one of the Royal palaces was heated with this new system.
1945 TO 1950
In Europe, from 1945 to 1950, over 100,000 homes were heated by this technique. Very soon, however, it was noted that the equipment was causing numerous physiological problems due to the following facts: Metallic pipes instead of plastic (long distance between pipes) No use of cement slab, High thermal inertia. The boiler temperature was 70C to 80C. The reason why the floor temperature was 34C to 40C. Which caused also some health problems.
40C
THE NEW SYSTEMS
FROM 1970s
3 New values were added: Low thermal inertia of the floor slab. Low surface temperature (28 - 29C). Uniform heat distribution. Plastic pipes, small pitches. Use of Floating floors. More insulation, Low heat losses.
29C
ADVANTAGES
Uniform heat distribution. Healthy conditions. Absence of air draughts. Safety. Space saving. Low noise Temperature reduction from feet to head. Lack of dryness due to low temperatures. Friendly to the environment. Efficient. Low operating cost. Reduction of roof thermal loses. Short-term depreciation.
INCONVIENIENTS
HEATING OUTPUT RELATED TO LIMITED AREA.
RELATIVLY HIGH THERMAL INERTIA.
HEAT AND COMFORT
RADIATOR HEATING
Hottest part of the room is at ceiling level. Room temperature setting at 21C. Cold feet due to cooler convective air current.
FLOOR HEATING
Coolest part of the room is at ceiling level. Room temperature setting below 21C (19). No draught. No cold feet. Less dust which can settle on walls, furniture and curtains.

MANIFOLDS
For correct operation and maintenance of the system, manifolds must have: Main on/off valves, Panel on/off valves, Micrometric panel regulating valves, Automatic air vents, Drain cocks.

REQUIRMENTS
CENTER TO CENTER DISTANCE The most frequently used grids are as follows: 7,5 15,0 22,5 30,0 37,5 5,0 10,0 15,0 20,0 30,0 45 a 55C with traditional boilers; 40 a 45C with district heating, condensing boilers, heat pumps; 32 a 38C with solar panels. Two aspects in consideration : the lack of heat loss through the floors, the heat contribution of any panels located on the floor above. To avoid uncomfortable physiological conditions, the surface temperature of the floor should be less than: 29C in continuously occupied environments, 33C in bathrooms, showers and swimming pools, 35C in perimeter areas or rooms rarely used.

SURFACE TEMPERATURE OF THE FLOOR
31
REQUIRMENTS
It is advisable not to be too high in order: TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE OF not to over-reduce the average temperature of the fluid, and thus the heat output of the panel; HEATING FLUID to avoid surface temperatures which differ too much from each other, Usually it is used below 8 10C PANEL FLOW Considering that the maximum flow of a panel is on average between: 200 220 l/h, for pipes with Di = 16 mm 120 130 l/h, for pipes with Di = 13 mm It is advisable that the difference between the preset head and that should be at least 200 300 mm w.g. In domestic applications, it is advisable not to go beyond the commercial lengths of pipe rolls (120 150 metres)
HEAD REQUIRED
LENGTH OF THE PANEL

HEAT OUTPUT
tp = surface temperature of floor, C ta = ambient temperature, C q = specific heat output (upwards) of panel, W/m2 In particular (at ambient temperature = 20C), the maximum specific output which can be transferred by a panel is: qmax = 8,92 . ( 29 20 ) 1,1 = 100 W/m2 in continuously inhabited environments. qmax = 8,92 . ( 33 20 ) 1,1 = 150 W/m2 in bathrooms, showers and swimming pools. qmax = 8,92 . ( 35 20 ) 1,1 = 175 W/m2 in perimeter areas or rooms rarely used.

WALL HEATING
Radiant wall heating is one of the most comfortable form of heating available. Water circulating at 30-40C in pipes built into the wall provides gentle but highly efficient radiant heat.
