The scheme of connection of floor heating

smokers may be based on different heating elements.It can be electric or water.But in any case, a key element of its installation is to connect it to the control system.

Wiring electric warm floor.

control element in an electric floor heating is the thermostat.Currently, there are two main types of thermostats:

  • -mechanical where the desired heating temperature exhibiting mechanical rheostat.
  • -Electronic, where the temperature of the heating element is installed with an electronic relay.In such regulators may be a programming device that can initiate the heating operation in the time periods specified.
So it looks like an electronic thermostat

thus looks an electronic thermostat

Temperature controllers of any type are designed to control the following types of electric heating elements:

The heating cable.He is an electrical cable with a high resistance that is placed in a secure isolation.When electric current passes through the cable it is heated.

next type of electric heating element is a thermal floor mat.With this structure, the heating cable is placed on the insulation film at a predetermined pitch.

Finally, the heating element can be a special film is emitting infrared rays.Its thickness is less than half a millimeter in her bed flat semiconductor mounted a heating strip.

Wiring heated through electric floor thermostat

Connect electric heated floor to the power cable must be over the thermostat.This achieves savings of electricity spent on heating the room.

Typically, the wiring diagram is shown in the thermostat housing or in his passport.Installation of the thermostat can be done independently, without resorting to third-party organizations.

to the thermostat power cable can be supplied directly via the wiring.Also, temperature control, and thus the heating elements themselves warm electric floor can be connected through a conventional outlet.

The figure below shows a schematic wiring diagram the thermostat.

important to know that the thermostat connection to the network, it is desirable to carry out a separate circuit breaker.

One option wiring diagram is shown in the figure below.

amount calculation thermostats

possible in your home will be a few spaces, which will be mounted warm electric Flooring.In this case, it is advisable to provide for the installation of individual thermostats and temperature sensors for each heating circuit.This will avoid additional load on the grid.This is especially important in the case if heated rooms are different modes of operation.So living room can be heated only during sleep, and the bathroom - only during the period of its use.

remote mounted thermostats must be provided the installation of individual temperature sensors on each heated room.

Wiring floor warm water.

Connection warm water floor is somewhat different from the electric floor.Consider ways to connect floor heating with heat transfer fluid to the heating system.

You can connect your warm water floor heating to the trunk.However, in this way must be used with care known.Perhaps the big heat loss the carrier will lead to the fact that the cold start complaining already your neighbors.Bezout damage for neighbors to connect the water warm floor in apartment buildings is possible in areas where a stationary system switches to reverse flow.Also in this case, the heating temperature of the water will not be excessively hot.

big drawback of such a circuit connection of water underfloor heating will be the impossibility of smooth adjustment of the coolant temperature.Even if you mount the input and output sections of the heating circuit valve - still heating temperature will depend on the main heating system.

Wiring floor of the heated water to the individual heating system.

Almost without drawbacks wiring diagram of the heated water to the individual floor heating system.However, this method can only be used in private homes.

Below is a schematic wiring diagram of the water heated floor.

The scheme includes the following design elements:

  1. thermostatic control valve mechanism.The signal on this item is supplied by remotely mounted sensor.In the case when the system reaches a predetermined temperature - closes the supply teplonositeya it.
  2. Balancing valve device.It prevents idling coolant passage in the heating circuits.In the event of a power supply of coolant, he runs it in a small circle without the boiler.
  3. circulation pump, which provides additional coolant pressure in the heating circuits.
  4. Safety thermostat.It is placed at the coolant inlet pipe and monitors the temperature level in the system.
  5. electric drive water reservoir valve group.Designed to control heating circuit valves.
  6. Water underfloor heating manifold that distributes the coolant flow along the contours.
  7. mock water valve manifold (aka bypass) ensures coolant circulation in a small circle.
  8. External coolant system temperature control heated floor in their system may have multiple, which is why you can individually adjust the temperature in each room, equipped with a heated floor heating.

to the wiring diagram of the heated floor with a liquid coolant can also be found by looking instructional videos:

Another option for connecting the heated floor of the water may be the use of hydraulic separator.It is a specialized vessel in which the accumulation of the coolant occurs.Typically such container is mounted in the collector cabinet wall in a special niche.

exemplary diagram of such a connection is shown in the figure.

important factor in connecting the heated floor with a heat transfer fluid is the installation of a water reservoir.To it displays all the circuits of the heating system, and the coolant temperature and the operating pressure in each circuit can be controlled individually.

Layout and connection circuits with liquid coolant

When preparing wiring diagrams of water heated floor space is also necessary to calculate the location of the heating circuits.Obviously, they should not be in places where indoor stationary equipment will be located.

There are two basic wiring diagram of the water floor heating circuits: a "snake" and "snail" (or "spiral").In cold regions it is recommended to use a connection "spiral" scheme, since in this case the whole room will be heated evenly and enough floor surface will not experience severe thermal strains.

Connecting heated floor for a combined scheme

heated floor system can be used as an independent heating system, as well as in combination with conventional heating radiators.Under this scheme, first connect to the flow of coolant radiators are connected, and then, on the return stroke of the coolant passes through the floor heating circuits.
