Underfloor Heating and Cooling
Underfloor heating and cooling systems transfers its energy via radiation, unlike radiators which operate by convection. Radiation heat warms objects and people directly, not the air.
Radiation assures the uniformity of heat diffusion in the environment that provides a perceptible feeling of comfort at about 2°C lower compared to a high-temperature system: the same level of comfort is achieved at about 19°C for underfloor heating as opposed to 21°C for radiators.
Indeed, for underfloor heating systems, a water temperature of between 30°C and 40°C is sufficient while the water in traditional radiators can require temperatures between 45 and 70°C. In winter, thanks to the hot water that circulates inside the circuits, the system heats the environment according to the desired temperature.
This advantage is also evident in the case of cooling: in order to achieve comfortable temperatures, system water of 18-22°C is all that is required (depending on the region). In summer, the floor is cooled to a temperature cooler than the surrounding air, and the floor then absorbs radiant energy. The entire surface is refreshed and the heat is not stored.
Innovation, ease of installation, 10-year guarantee. HFC solutions offers comprehensive solutions for specifiers and installers.
Since 1921, Comap has been driving intelligent management of water and energy through its thermal and sanitary products that increase comfort in buildings. It is part of the stocklisted company Aalberts NV, instituted in 1975. Along with Flamco, which produces high-quality components for use in HVAC systems since 1956, the Aalberts hydronic flow control business unit was constituted. Stronger together, Comap and Flamco will continue to build mission critical technologies to manage heating and cooling humanly with better financial and environmental efficacy. From source to emitter we partner with our customers to engineer seamless energy efficient hydronic systems for their building requirements.
