Where PEX tubing is used for radiant-heat under-floor tubing, 125 to 130 ☏ is typical operating temperature used for water entering the tubing. is a bit higher than suggested by other sources.Ī radiant heat system manufacturer, Radiant Floor Company, opines that 120 to 135 deg F is "ideal" and most sources we have found discuss typical radiant heat operating temperatures in the 115-135 degree range. Similarly other sources such as the Oregon state energy conservation department gives the typical operating temperature range for radiant heating systems at 85-140 ☏ (30-60C) though we agree that 140 deg. Typical radiant floor systems operate at 85 - 125 ☏ water temperature entering the tubing, and put the floor surface temperature about 5 degrees above the room thermostat set temperature. Typical Radiant Heat Floor System Operating Temperatures Here we add details about different operating temperatures for radiant heating systems. The high temperature effects of too-hot radiant heat under wood flooring, and the effect on finished wood flooring are cited When I took the Watts® Regulator course they emphasized that temperatures should not exceed 130 degrees.ĭuring my inspection the water leaving the boiler was 167.8 degrees (going into the heating distribution system for hydronic radiant, hydronic forced and also potable (yeah, I know that part is a problem!).
My question is what is normal and what is “too hot” for the water circulating through the piping distribution under ceramic tile floors installed over wood framed floor systems. I just inspected a complex combine forced air (hydronic) heating system combined with a several circulating radiant floor heating components. Question: what is "normal" and what is "too hot" for radiant heat water circulating in the piping? Unfortunately that system never worked satisfactorily, as we explainĪt RADIANT HEAT FLOOR MISTAKES. Our page top photo shows the output temperature of an electric boiler used to heat tubing in a radiant-heated tile floor set over concrete in a Minnesota home. What are the Normal Operating Temperatures for Radiant Heat Systems? We also provide an ARTICLE INDEX for this topic, or you can try the page top or bottom SEARCH BOX as a quick way to find information you need. Operating temperature comparisons for types of radiant heating. Heat loss rates into earth below radiant heated floor slabs. Energy efficiencies of radiant floor heating.
Maximum temperature for radiant-heated floor surfaces. Radiant heat temperature settings in the tubing. We discuss: Radiant heat temperature settings at the boiler. We describe the normal or correct radiant heat setting temperatures and we explain what happens if the radiant heat temperatures are set too low or too high. This article discusses the maximum, minimum, & recommended operating temperatures for radiant heated floor systems, including typical temperatures used in different types of radiant-heated floors: tile, wood, laminate, carpeting, etc. Proper operating temperatures for radiant heating systems.
