Põrandaküttetorustik

Põrandaküttetorustik refers to the system of pipes used in underfloor heating installations. These pipes are typically made of durable materials such as PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) or copper, chosen for their ability to withstand high temperatures and pressure, and their resistance to corrosion. The primary function of the põrandaküttetorustik is to circulate heated water, which then radiates warmth upwards through the floor structure and into the room.

The layout of the põrandaküttetorustik is crucial for even heat distribution. Pipes are usually laid in a serpentine or spiral pattern, or in manifold systems with multiple circuits, to ensure consistent temperature across the entire floor area. The spacing and routing of these pipes are determined by the specific heating requirements of the space, the type of flooring, and the insulation levels.

The põrandaküttetorustik is connected to a heat source, such as a boiler or a heat pump, via a manifold. This manifold distributes the heated water to individual pipe loops and collects the cooler return water. The entire system is controlled by a thermostat, which regulates the water temperature and flow to maintain the desired room temperature. Properly installed põrandaküttetorustik offers a comfortable, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing heating solution, as it eliminates the need for visible radiators and provides a gentle, consistent warmth.
