Renewable Energy
Advantages & Benefits with combined

heating & tap water systems
Minimum use of fossil energy by maximum

use of renewable (solar ) energy
Maximum comfort level for space heating

(constant temperature)
Maximum comfort level for tap water

consumption (short time constant)
Individual billing per apartment
Flexible installation of the unit gives the

architects and designers more possibilities
(compare with individual gas boilers were
gas pipes and chimneys limits the
creativity)
No open flame
No sound
Central unit s that are easy to install &

maintain
Optimum interaction between solar system

and complementary heating source
Space saving units (less than 0,15 m3)

Low return temperature from heating system
Under floor heating provides a very high comfort level. The whole floor area is warm and all
the surrounding surfaces will obtain radiant heat which increases their temperature. Modern
floor heating systems are based upon light pipes of plastic, which can be manufactured and
handled in substantial lengths. The most common pipe material is cross linked polyethylene,
PEX, with an external diffusional barrier, which on the whole eliminates any penetration of
oxygen through the pipe wall. The coils emanate from centrally placed distributors.
The coils are often cast into concrete, and there must always be an insulation under the coils
in order to reduce the heat emission downwards. Each room should have its own coil to
make it possible to control the heat supply to the room. Floor heating emits, at a room
temperature of 20C, about 11 W/m 2 floor area and per C temperature difference between
the floor surface and the room air. The temperature of the floor surface should not exceed
27C if you are going to stay on the floor for a long time. The required flow temperature is
low, often not more than 40C, and the temperature drop across the coils is calculated to be
between 5 and 10C.

Low return temperature from heating system
The control of the room temperature is made with an electric thermostat,

opening and closing a control valve via a thermo-hydraulic motor. The
electric thermostat contains an electric resistance, which is activated
when the thermostat opens the control valve. The resistance emits heat in
the thermostat, which after a while, believes that the room temperature
has increased and closes the control valve. This type of on-off control has
proved to be very efficient in the use with floor heating.
The supply temperature is controlled by an indoor and/or out door

temperature sensor to optimize the supply temperature to be as low as
possible. This will flatten out the on-off control of the capacity demand to
become as stable as possible from the under floor heating system.

Reduce peak loads for heating as much as possible
To reduce peak flow as much as possible, the capacity to the heating circuit should be
dynamic dependent on the need of capacity.
Avoid on/off control for each satellite. This will just create peaks and valleys that will cause
distribution problems for the heating source and the distribution system.
This is solved by a modulating controller using an indoor and/or out door temperature sensor
to optimize the supply temperature to be as low as possible.
The low supply temperature will cause a stable indoor temperature were each room controller
works in on position more or less constantly.

Tap water should be supplied with a demanded stable temperature with a specific flow at a
specific time during a demanded time!
