Underfloor heating with Vaillant heat pump
In technical terms, surface heating is a form of underfloor heating in which the role of radiators is taken over by special heating pipes located in the floor. Heating efficiency is related to the individual needs of a given facility, which is why the whole thing should be designed individually. The right size of the elements and their arrangement, effective fastening, the method of embedding in the floor, the size of the heating surface are factors that have a decisive influence on the choice of a heat pump. The finishing material is also important, because it must provide appropriate thermal conductivity.
The underfloor heating system works perfectly with heat pumps, which are a great solution in energy-efficient construction. Vaillant heat pump working with low-temperature systems. As specialists emphasize - when the temperature of the heating medium that supplies the system is lower, then the COP parameter, i.e. the heat pump efficiency coefficient, will be higher. In practice, this means that by deciding to install a low-temperature underfloor heating system working with a heat pump, you can notice significant savings related to the costs of heating the facility.
Low temperature radiators with heat pumps
Heat pumps are devices that are prepared to work with low-temperature radiators . For this reason, they work perfectly in combination with underfloor heating, although you should be aware that this is not the only option. When choosing the option of a traditional radiator, you should pay attention to its parameters.
When the building is new and the installation is done from scratch, it is easy to choose solutions with the right properties that will ensure optimal operation of the device and efficient heating. The specific model is selected by the installer based on the prepared heating curve, i.e. a function that takes into account the outside temperature and the supply temperature of the central heating system.
