Electronic Floor Heating Thermostat

Heating equipment installed in the floor and the heat send out from the ground. Electronic floor heating thermostat can control this heating equipment. It can set room temperature, start up and shutdown according to time interval. Different type of electronic floor heating thermostat has different effect.

When the temperature in the room is lower than the set temperature by thermostat, the electronic floor heating will start work. Cold air in the room enter through the bottom of electronic floor heating and then heated. Finally it will get out through its top. Based on the principle of the air circulation convection and with continuous heating, the temperature in the room will be average distribution. As soon as the uniform room temperature reach to the requirement, the thermostat will close the electronic floor heating automatically.

Floor heating is comfortable and hygiene. It is not easy to cause the dirty air convection. The room air is always clean and this is helpful to people’s health. Floor heating has good thermal stability, the room temperature is changed slowly with the intermittent heating condition. Many people are worry about it will waste of electricity. In fact, floor heating is very energy efficient.

Daily Maintenance For Electronic Heating Thermostat

Electronic heating thermostat is used more and more widely in the heating market. As we all known, the electronic heating is very comfortable. However less people have known about maintenance of electronic heating. As the experts said, installation and using of electronic heating system is also a key problem that related to heating system quality.

Firstly, check the heating system before using the electronic heating thermostat. After one year, electronic heating system must do necessary checking before starting again. The check includes whether heating area is subject to accidental damage, fracture, with objects covered or not. Certainly whether the thermostat and connecting system is normal, connection and door sealing performance is good or not are related to the electric heating effect.

During the period of heating, people had better set the room temperature according to different needs. People can set a low temperature to reduce energy consumption of system operation if people should leave the room for long time. Don’t cut off the power of electronic heating thermostat to avoid froze other water facilities at home. In the non heating period, the power supply should be cut off and set a lowest temperature on the thermostat. Don’t open for customs clearance when using the electronic heating. This will not only effect heating, but also cost more power.

Floor Heating Maintenance In Winter

Floor heating thermostat is a terminal control products which is aim to control the heating equipment. It can programmed according to people requirement. As we all know, it can realize the intelligent heating to make the floor heating system be energy saving, comfortable and automation.

People must heating step by step when using floor heating. At first, the ground temperature should keep at around 18℃. You had better heat the ground gradually and increase 5℃ everyday before installing. The first three days, you must keep this temperature after installing. Then you could make the floor heating temperature rise and increase 5℃ one everyday. You must use it same as first time and make the ground heating according to heating program strictly when using the floor heating system again after a long time.

With the change of seasons, we should close the floor heating system if there is no need to using floor heating system in room. However the temperature must be decreased gradually. Otherwise it will effect the service life of floor heating system. Since the weather in winter is very dry and the floor has been in high temperature for a long time, the floor will easy to be chapped. At this time, you can put a humidifier in the room and this will be very helpful to floor maintenance.

China LCD Thermostat

LCD thermostat be applied in the geothermal heating system, fully embodies the floor heating system of intelligent, automated, personalized concept of consumption. Popularity in China is much higher than the United States and Europe, so diverse in our form, variety, quality is uneven.You must have   learned a lot about the advantages of LCD thermostat, and this article is no longer to be addressed in this chapter, we prefer to analyze the current situation of China's LCD thermostat, so that the selection of reference.

Early LCD thermostat: we find most manufactories directly modify the central air-conditioning coil thermostat into LCD thermostat, which exist many problems.

1.LCD interface is too large or display symbols are not commensurate with the standard.

2.Control output terminals or circuit (components) can not withstand high current.

3.External sensor (probe) cable is soft line, which can not be inserted into the embedded pipe, future maintenance is also a kind of hidden danger.

4.Control logic geothermal heating system requirements for non-conformity is not dedicated, not practical.

5.Only way temperature control circuit can not achieve the internal control outer limit. Monitoring and control room air temperature, ground temperature limit that can not be done.

Thermostat manufacturing principles

Thermostat according to the manufacturing principles can be divided into:
1. A sudden jump thermostat
the various sudden jump thermostat model collectively referred to KSD, such as the common KSD301 KSD302 thermostat bimetal thermostat new products, mainly as a variety of electric product with overheat protection, usually used in series with the thermal fuse, as a sudden jump-temperature protection. Thermal fuse in the sudden jump-temperature loss of Lou failures have led to over-temperature of the heating element, as a secondary protection from effectively prevent burn out the heating element and the resulting fire accident.

2. The liquid up thermostat
When the temperature changes of the object to be controlled so that the temperature sensing portion of the thermostat within the substance (usually liquid) to generate a corresponding expansion and contraction of the physical phenomenon (volume change), together with a film cartridge in communication with the temperature sensing portion expands or contraction.Lever principle to drive the switch-off action, to achieve the purpose of constant temperature. Liquid expansion thermostat has the following performance characteristics of temperature control accurate, stable and reliable, small temperature difference between open and stop, wide temperature adjustment range, the overload current.Fluid up thermostat temperature control applications with mainly used for household appliances, electric equipment, refrigeration industry.

3. Pressure type thermostat
Bulb and capillary filled temperature sensing qualitative change the thermostat in a closed, controlled temperature changes into the space pressure or volume changes, when the temperature setpoint is reached, through the elastic element and the fast instantaneous institution automatically close contact, in order to achieve the purpose of automatic temperature control.It is Composed of  the temperature sensing portion, the temperature main body portion, to perform the jog switch or the automatic throttle opening and shutting.Pressure type thermostat suitable for refrigerating appliances (such as refrigerators, freezers, etc.) and heating and other occasions.These are the most common temperature controller type, of course, can also be divided by use classification to floor heating thermostat, air conditioning thermostat, motor thermostat, the thermostat uses very difficult to generalize, It is not accurate to classified the thermostat according to use, often have the phenomenon that a thermostat with different names.

4. Electronic thermostat
The electronic temperature controller (resistive) is measured using the method of the resistance temperature sensing, commonly used the platinum wire, copper, tungsten, and the thermistor as the temperature measuring resistor, indeed point of these resistors has its advantages. Most of the typical home air conditioning thermistor.

Thermostats Installation Notes

When install the floor heating thermostat we should pay more attention to the f problems as follows:

1. Wall mounting, a height of 1.2 meters, in general which has the same level with Household electrical lighting switch .

2. Installed wall which is surrounded by the free flow air, without other sources of heat (such as sunlight), doors and windows airflow or external wall temperature.

3. Pre-embedded electrical cartridge, to choose the standard 86-cartridge, it is recommended that the cassette depth of 50mm. Special attention to Europe and the United States thermostat of 86 cassette, the dimensions do not match, be confirmed before embedded. Keep the the cassette cavity clean, remove the decoration left over debris.

4. External sensor (to probe) installed to be embedded casing, to ensure that the installation, maintenance plug. Casing at the ground should be sealed to prevent moisture and debris from entering.

5. Do not install the thermostat in the bathroom, sauna, steam room (high humidity or may splash walls), such cases the thermostat must be mounted on the outside by using a longer probe, in order to control ground temperature.

6. Water heating system thermostat can provide a synchronization (or programmable) passive linkage interface, you can achieve linkage control of the boiler, pump and valve control.

7. Electric heating system with thermostat the total load should not be greater than 3500W (current is less than 16A). Particular attention to the load cable and a terminal connection must be reliable.

8. According to the the electricity load power to set aside sufficient current cable.

9. Floor heating system power supply, be sure to install separate electrical circuit with safety shut-off, leakage protection.

10. Due to the wall cassette space constraints, initial installation thermostat you might encounter many problems such as: the space is small, difficult to trace, press inequality. Please be patient, carefully review the instructions, follow the correct steps, or consult the manufacturers.

Mechanical thermostat

Using sensitive gas diaphragm or thermal bimetal temperature sensing element, a mechanical contact thermostat switch. This type of thermostat is more, only a small part of the domestic manufacturers to promote such products in the U.S. and European markets. The mechanical floor heating thermostat usually contact current is not greater than 8A, control valves for water heating system on and off. The advantages of low cost, simple to install and use, and long-term reliability; deviation of the temperature control switch generally greater than ± 3 ° C), the display is not intuitive, single function; output contact current only 8A, also limited the in electric heating engineering.
