What is the appropriate water supply temperature for floor heating? Why should the water supply temperature for floor heating be too high?

We all know that floor heating is a common heating tool. Many people use floor heating in their homes, especially in winter. The use of floor heating is very particular, especially the temperature control of floor heating. So what is the appropriate water supply temperature for floor heating? Let's take a closer look!

What is the appropriate water temperature for floor heating?

The water temperature for floor heating is generally around 50-60 degrees. Floor heating is low-temperature heating, and the water temperature entering the floor heating pipe is below 60 degrees. Wall-mounted boilers are generally set at around 40-60 degrees. If it is collective heating, the whole building is floor heating and no setting is required. If everyone has radiators and only your home has floor heating, you need to install a floor heating water mixing cooling device, because radiators are high-temperature heating, and the heating temperature is around 70-90 degrees.

The water supply temperature of floor heating is usually 40-60 degrees. You need to choose according to your own situation to ensure that the indoor temperature is around 23-26 degrees. Generally, when the outdoor temperature is minus ten degrees, the water supply temperature can be around 45-50 degrees. It depends on the floor heating cycle of the house and the insulation effect of the house.

Why should the floor heating temperature not be too high?

Why should the water temperature of floor heating not be too high? The main reasons are as follows:

1. Keeping the floor heating water supply temperature and the supply and return water temperature difference within the specified values ​​is beneficial to extending the service life of the floor heating pipes.

If the water temperature is too high, it will not only affect the service life of the floor heating pipes, but sometimes it will also cause the pipes to rupture.

2. The water supply temperature of floor heating shall not exceed 60℃, which is conducive to improving indoor thermal comfort.

Since floor heating dissipates heat throughout the house and has a large heat dissipation area, if the water supply temperature is too high, the ground temperature and the indoor temperature will be very high. Then people in the house will not only feel too hot, but also very dry, which not only reduces comfort and wastes energy, but also makes them more susceptible to illness.

3. The water temperature of floor heating is too high, which can easily cause deformation of furniture and floors

If the floor heating temperature is too high, the floors and bottoms of furniture that are in direct contact with the bottom surface will crack and deform due to the high temperature.

Precautions for using floor heating in winter

1. Generally, the water temperature is required not to exceed 60℃ and the working pressure is required not to exceed 0.8Mpa.

2. Open windows for ventilation in time to prevent the temperature from being too high and causing heating disease.

3. Regular maintenance and exhaust are required. Gas may continue to accumulate in the pipes during the use of floor heating.

4. Avoid using heavy objects or sharp objects to hit the ground. The floor heating pipe is only about 3-4cm from the ground, and heavy objects hitting it can easily damage the floor heating pipe.
