What is floor heating thermostat?

Floor heating thermostat is a device that controls the temperature of the floor heating. It can set the switch or adjust the room temperature in time according to people's needs, thereby achieving intelligent heating.

1. Working Principle

2. Types

According to the type of floor heating, it is divided into electric floor heating thermostat and water floor heating thermostat. There are two main types of floor heating thermostats, mechanical and electronic.

Mechanical floor heating thermostat: a temperature control switch that uses a sensitive gas diaphragm or a temperature sensing element to form a mechanical contact. There are many such thermostats in European and American markets, but few in China. Its advantages are low cost, simple installation and use, and good long-term reliability. The disadvantages are large deviation of temperature control switch (generally greater than ±3℃), intuitionistic display, and single function; And the output contact current is only 8A, which also limits its application in electric heating engineering.

Digital Thermostats: There are liquid crystal display (digital thermostats with liquid crystal display and some have programmable functions) and without liquid crystal display. The digital type is that the thermistor senses the ambient temperature, and controls the operation or stop of the connected heater or cooler through a relay. It has the advantages of low cost, simple operation and high temperature control accuracy (±1℃). It is better than mechanical thermostat in terms of function. Some brand products also have energy-saving programming function, which can automatically lower the set temperature by 5℃ when you are not at home.

3. Installation

The floor heating thermostat is installed on the inner wall, which is usually similar to the light switch position. Try to choose an uncovered place when installing. Generally, the thermostat is installed at a height of 1.2m-1.5m from the ground. There should be no heat dissipation device around it. Avoid direct sunlight. The temperature probe below should not be covered. There is no heat dissipation and cooling device around it. It is not suitable for people to stay frequently. s position. The water heating system is equipped with electric valves that are controlled by the thermostat to open and close, and the passive linkage port of the thermostat controls the wall-hung boiler and the system pump to save energy.

Do not install the thermostat in the bathroom, sauna, or steam room (walls with high humidity or splashing water). In this case, the thermostat must be installed outside, and the lead of an extended ground probe is used to control the ground temperature.

4. Material Selection and Use

Thermostats are no longer considered high-tech products, so there is no need to blindly choose "imported with original packaging" at all costs. When using a floor heating system, in order to achieve a comfortable and economical effect, you must be familiar with the correct use of the temperature control system. It is recommended for the elderly and children to choose simple and convenient operation.

5. Users Notes

1. It is a misunderstanding that the thermostat is suddenly set at a very high temperature in order to quickly reach the set temperature, which will not make the room warm up quickly.

2. When people go out in an unattended room, the temperature indication scale can be adjusted to the corresponding gear, because the system is turned off and then turned on again to heat up very slowly, and frequent turning on and off does not achieve energy saving.

3. Please do not cover the thermostat with furniture, etc. There should be no heat source around the thermostat to avoid temperature monitoring and control errors.

4. It is the most energy-saving choice to choose the weekly programming period to control the thermostat.
