Some particular design considerations for optimum utilization of under floor heating systems

Some particular design considerations for optimum utilization of under floor heating systems

This paper aims at studying the thermal behavior of an under floor heating system via CFD calculations. The results have discussed some important parameters that need to be controlled for an appropriate operation of the system. These parameters include the velocity inside the pipes, inlet temperatur...
