Original Abstract
This case study is aimed at simulation of dry floor heating system. Heating pipes are inserted in system boards made of thermal insulation. These boards should be supplemented with spreader plates which are installed under the heating pipes. Impact of different thermal conductivity of spreader plates on useful heat flux and uniformity of temperature field is examined. Heat losses are also investigated. These simulations are performed using software CalA with time steady-state boundary conditions. The results show that the dry floor heating system without spreader plates has very low useful heat flux caused by positioning of heating pipes in the insulation material. On the other hand, use of spreader plates causes significant increase of useful heat flux of this system. The higher heat conductivity of spreader plates is, the higher useful heat flux is. The floor surface temperature is also more uniform and the thermal comfort is better. The minimal thickness of additional heat insulation is determined in order that heat losses are lower than ten percent of total heat flux.
