Radiant Heat Water Temperature Concrete

Typically radiant heating systems warm floors to temperatures of 75 to 80 degrees f.

Radiant heat water temperature concrete. The higher it is above 101 the quicker it ages. But if your concrete gets above 100 then it will age. Like sand concrete is an ideal carrier of radiant heat because of its inherent thermal mass. Heat profiles from floor to ceiling show how radiant heat provides close to the ideal temperature whereas conventional heating deviates from the ideal.

Typical radiant heat temperatures under finished wood flooring. The radiant heated wood floor shown in our photo left was installed in a new york home. Efficiency it delivers radiant floor fig. Concrete is placed over tubing for a radiant floor.

The floor sensor temp will fall to 61f when another heat cycle will start. Inside temp may fall as low as 53f at the cool end of a cycle although 55 56f is more typical. The systems depend largely on radiant heat transfer the delivery of heat directly from the hot surface to the people and objects in the room via infrared radiation. Floor sensor in the concrete slab reads 63f which means that a radiant heat cycle recently completed.

Under wood floors nailed right to the subfloor and tubing below radiant heat temperatures are typically at the middle of our 85 135 f. As warm water circulates through the tubing or as electricity warms the heating elements the concrete flooring turns into an efficient inconspicuous radiator. Its then set up to increase the water temp as the outdoor temp gets colder so the water temp matches the heat loss load of the house. Outdoor reset consist of a control box an outdoor temp sensor and a water temp sensor.

Temperature range or about 105 115 f.
