How hot should the actual tubing in radiant flooring be
Hot water zoned radiant floor heating. My out put temperature
from the main manifold is designed to be 120 degrees, however, on the very
first ''test run'' of just one zone activated, it seemed like an eternity
to get some heat. Is this the nature of this type of heating
system? The main high temperature loop at the boiler seemed
very hot (140 degrees, as intended). My HePEX tubing is the correct size, and no longer than 200 feet. The entire system is built based on a custom engineered designed specifically for this project.
the temperature is right at 120 for the radiant heat. boiler
temp could go to 180, this is normal boiler operating temp. radiant heat
does seem like it takes forever to get warm but will even out over time.
Your chosen form of heating is excellent for a constant
temperature. It does take a long time to heat up, however, once it does
it keeps a constant temperature with no fluctuating temperature changes
like you get with a forced air furnace.
The reason for this is that it takes a lot of time to heat a mass, such as
a concrete floor. Something like a slab of concrete will not heat or cool quickly. Once it heats up it provides a radiant heat. A mistake a lot of hydronic in-floor heating installers make is not providing proper floor covering. Carpet with underlay or hardwood flooring will actually insulate & keep the heat in the slab or floor whereas tile or laminate flooring lets the heat reach the room.
it might take time but the wait is worth it keep it going youll
love it
