Radiant Floor Solutions – Thermostatic control

The below control system shows a simple form of local control over a single manifold. The control system allows for direct connection to a higher temperature circuit and uses a direct action 4 – Port thermostatic control valve (TV) to control the water temperature circulating within the RADIANT FLOOR SOLUTIONS system.

This form of control is ideal when adding a RADIANT FLOOR SOLUTIONS system to an existing conventional system or where separate control is required for a number of zones supplied from higher temperature circulating mains.

The normal form of control involves thermostatic control of the water temperature with space or room control via a room thermostat controlling the pump and motorized 2 Port valve via an electronic wiring centre. The room thermostat can be wired from a time clock or be of the type with inbuilt clock. Reduced night time temperatures can be incorporated within the room thermostat to give a pre-set reduction in space temperature either manually controlled or switched via time clock. This type of system can also be wired back to central controls or switched from energy management systems if required.
