The working principle of Floor Heating Valves System- Zhejiang Huibo Valve Technology Co., Ltd.

The working principle of a floor heating valve system involves the control of hot water flow through the pipes in a hydronic (water-based) floor heating system. Here's a general overview of how the system operates:

Boiler and Pump: The floor heating system is connected to a boiler that heats water and a circulating pump that moves the heated water through the system. The pump helps maintain a constant flow of hot water.

Mixing Valve: A mixing valve is typically installed in the system to regulate the temperature of the water circulating through the floor heating system. It mixes hot water from the boiler with cooler water returning from the floor loops to achieve the desired temperature for heating the floor.

Thermostat and Control System: The floor heating system is controlled by a thermostat or a central control system. The thermostat measures the temperature of the room and sends signals to the control system to adjust the water flow and temperature.

Actuators: Actuators are devices that control the opening and closing of valves in the floor heating system. They are typically connected to the control system and receive signals to adjust the flow of hot water based on the temperature settings.

Zone Valves: The floor heating system may be divided into zones, each representing a specific area or room. Zone valves are installed in each zone and are controlled by actuators. The zone valves open or close based on the signals received from the control system, allowing hot water to flow into or bypass the specific zone as needed.

Flow Control Valves: Flow control valves may also be installed in the floor heating system to regulate the water flow rate in each zone. These valves help balance the flow of hot water among the zones, ensuring even heating throughout the entire system.

Manifold: A manifold is a distribution point where the heated water is distributed to different zones. It acts as a central hub to connect the supply and return lines of each zone. The manifold usually incorporates flow meters, balancing valves, and isolation valves for easy control and maintenance of the system.

Floor Loops: The heated water from the manifold is distributed through a network of pipes known as floor loops. These pipes are installed beneath the floor surface and are typically made of PEX (cross-linked polyethylene). The warm water circulating through the loops radiates heat, warming up the floor surface and providing comfortable radiant heat to the room.

Return Line: After the water has circulated through the floor loops and provided heat to the room, it returns to the boiler through a separate return line. The return line carries the cooler water back to the mixing valve, where it can be mixed with hot water from the boiler to maintain the desired temperature.

By controlling the opening and closing of valves and adjusting the water temperature, the floor heating valve system ensures that the floor is heated to the desired level, providing comfortable and efficient radiant heat throughout the space. The system can be customized and controlled based on the specific heating requirements of each zone or room.
