Radiant Floor Solutions – Low temperature energy sources

The below diagram shows a RADIANT FLOOR SOLUTIONS system connected to a low temperature energy source. This could comprise a fully condensing gas fired boiler, heat pump installation or any other form of energy source which can provide low temperature water. This can also include waste heat recovery from refrigeration, air conditioning and various other forms of commercial and industrial process plants.

RADIANT FLOOR SOLUTIONS can design systems to use any low temperature water source at temperatures as low as 35°C. These systems offer very low operating costs particularly where the energy source would otherwise be wasted.

Due to the much lower operating temperatures controls are often much simpler since it will often not be necessary to reduce the water temperature before circulating around the RADIANT FLOOR SOLUTIONS system. In many instances of waste heat recovery no form of control is required and the heat can be extracted and used on a continuous basis with topping up by other means as required. This can often be used for retail shops, warehouses, workshops and factory heating where only a low internal temperature is required.

In the case of condensing boilers, heat pumps and similar sources a simple form of control acting directly on the energy source can be used.
