Insulation

The required area of the insulating layer corresponds to the useful floor space.
As the insulation is recommended to use foam density not less than 25 kg/m3. The thickness of the insulating layer of the heating system floor, mounted the dirt floor or over unheated spaces shall be not less than 30 mm, above the warm room at least 22 mm.
Around the perimeter between the heating plate and the outer and inner walls, it is necessary to lay a damping tape or sheet foam, in order to exclude the formation of thermal bridge between the plate and the walls.

Gas water heaters

Gas water heaters

In the residential water heating system, accommodation often equipped with special heat sources – well-known and long gas water heaters (boilers) DM AGW, AUGV, AOGV. All of these heaters on and off the main burner (by opening or stop the flow of gas to the burner) are carried out automatically by the thermostat.

AGV – capacious water heaters to 80 and 120 liters, the power of 7 and 29 kW at an efficiency of 81 … 83%. AOGV – is small and metal content.
AKGV – dual function apparatus destination: for space heating with heat losses to 18,5 kW, and at the same time for hot water flats.

Gas tankless water heaters

They are used in air heating systems of buildings as additional sources of heat in combination with other heating systems installations. Here the heat of combustion is transferred wholly or partially cold outside air, heated by the apparatus. In the heat transfer through the wall of efficiency ramjet, or circulating air reaches 70 … 90%. In the mixing apparatus by direct mixing of combustion products and heated air increases the efficiency up to 100%. Known direct-flow heaters relatively low power (50 kW, 70 … 2000 m3 / h at a temperature of 50 … 700 C) and more powerful (450 kW, up to 16000 m3 / h air at a temperature of 100 … 1100).

Finnish and Swedish sanitation focuses on ecology and economy

Scandinavian producers of plumbing rely on economical and environmentally friendly plumbing. For example, to reduce water consumption specialists IFÖ Swedish company for 11 years ago, developed and implemented the system of economical drain. Calculations showed that due to this device, each member of the family “back to nature” more than 12 000 liters of water per year. But to never touch a button water drainage, Swedish craftsmen invented its sensory model that responds to the approach of hands. For the most thrifty consumers Gustavsberg Swedish company supplied faucets for bathtubs and wash basins such cost-functions as a water-efficient (Ekoeffekt “) and energy-efficient (Ekotemp”). When you install such a mixer is only necessary to set the desired temperature and pressure of water.

Striving to make plumbing fixtures as soon as more hygienic to use forced the Swedes also developed a special fastening the toilet seat. It is freely removed from the grooves, which greatly facilitates the daily care of the toilet. Incidentally, in the Scandinavian countries in finishing plumbing actively apply tree. “Wood” finish the bathroom – the card of Finnish companies producing sanitary ware.

Physiological effects of heating

The heating system maintains the premises at a certain level, air temperature and the inner surfaces of frame structures. This ensures the right person thermal comfort – the optimum temperature conditions favorable for life and work of people in cold season.

Heating – a type of engineering and technical equipment of buildings. Installation of permanent installation of heating is carried out during the construction of the building, its elements are linked with the building designs and combine with the interior space.

It is not enough heated buildings quickly collapse due to violations of the right temperature and humidity of their designs. Technological process of obtaining and storing a number of products, articles and substances (for precision instruments and electronic circuits, film and magnetic film, glass, flour, paper, etc.) requires strict maintenance of a given room temperature. More information about the heating.

For the normal human being helpful to a small change in temperature during the day (due to changes in the intensity of its metabolism and activity). In appropriate settings in the morning to keep the temperature 19 0C, raising it to 21 0C before dinner and dropping to +18 0C in the afternoon. In accommodation, we recommend periodically changing the temperature during the day and reduce it to 2 … 3 0 C at night.

Where to start?

The most difficult task in acquiring the radiant heating system, water supply and sanitation is entrusted with very important matter? “The next steps are fairly simple. Then just need to bring or send e-mail a floor plan house, if it is not available to call on the object and gager Tell him your wishes. If the floor plan can begin to heat transfer. The calculation is essential and is the heart of the whole idea in general. The calculation takes into account all heat loss through a fence and through infiltration. Based on these data we can calculate the design capacity of the boiler and as a consequence of the power of heating devices. Wrong calculation or the calculation of both by eye, results generally or to a lack of heat in the cold of winter or too much excess fuel used for heating. But all these shortcomings lead to the deterioration of equipment. Know that every single house, even if he looks like a neighborhood, a completely new solution! And correctly selected the system is a guarantee of a long and uninterrupted work. The second powerful argument is from what materials will be collected by the system. The quality of materials also affects the durability of the system. Because there are materials, computed on the life of the building, and there are materials that include materials is impossible, it is rather a training designer for migrant workers. Among those collecting system designers in their homes, which will be exhibited for sale. This potential customers on the adaptation of heating systems, water supply. In any case, we expect the best. After all the calculations of the Executive can issue an offer with various options, which will differ as to the price component, and functionality. All the rest is easy, the only thing you can do is know which materials will consist of a system to conduct a comparative analysis of the price of one and the same manufacturer. If there is no large discrepancies, we can start to contract and wait until the end.

Some like it warm

Even more difficult the formation of convective currents that cooking zone extends almost the entire floor. The heat is rising from the lowest point of the room – the floor. Surface temperatures can fluctuate from 24 ° C to 32 ° C. The air temperature near the floor 20-27 ° C, and at the level of the head, it is 17-24 ° C. Here is shown such a wide temperature range because of underfloor equip accurate thermostats, allowing easy set the desired temperature, which is then maintained for a long time. It turns out that the most pleasant temperature will be just where we reside. Hence the heightened sense of comfort, but also lower fuel consumption or electricity. We do not want to spend extra money on PEX radiant heating do not know why!
There are two ways

So, we found that in every room in the floor laid the heater, which provides the necessary amount of heat. Heat flux, and therefore comfort, can be controlled by thermostat. In the case of water we have equality in doses of supplied hot water, and in the case of electric floor – the amount of electricity. Due to this and maintained the required temperature of the floor.

Warm floors can operate in two modes: simple comfort (or warm) or a full floor PEX radiant heating. However, this classification is usually applied to electric sex. These systems differ only in the fact that in the first case, the power per square meter of floor surface is lower than in the second case, and the only PEX radiant heating homes simply not enough. Typically, power for comfortable floor of 90-150 W/m2. Its value depends on many parameters, which fully take into account is often impossible. For example, if the premises being renovated and it arranged warm floors, then we have two options.

PEX radiant heating

However, if the room is planned to install furniture or equipment that will not move, then the warm floor beneath them is not done. The design of such floors is as follows. First is dirt or concrete base, then – a layer of warmth and waterproofing. Insulation laid on top of concrete screed with fuel elements: PEX pipe of hot water PEX radiant heating or electric cables. You may ask: “Why do you complicate things, when you can just hang on the walls of the battery?”. Answers – for comfort.

The author has personally experienced something almost heavenly bliss, which provides such a system. Being in the house where the only PEX radiant heating system was heated floors, I was surprised that the air temperature in the room did not exceed 18-19 ° C. In the yard – minus 24 ° C, and a general sense – all the comforts. The house shed a soft, pleasant warmth. Arrogant cat was not to banish from the tiled floor, where the animal warmed after a walk down the street.
