Which heating method is the best, radiator, floor heating or skirting heating?

Household heating is divided into central air conditioning fan coil, wall-mounted radiator (commonly known as wall heating), floor heating and skirting radiator (skirting radiator) which has just come out in recent years. So which heating method is better?

First of all, let's talk about the fan coil of central air conditioning. Because of the working principle of central air conditioning, the heating effect is very poor in very cold areas, and it can't even be used. In addition, when the fan coil unit is used for heating, the hot air blows down from above, which makes the indoor space warm and cool, which will make people dizzy and uncomfortable. Therefore, heating with central air conditioning has certain regionality and the heating effect is not good. So we don't compare it as the main heating method.

So for wall heating, floor heating and skirting heating, which heating method is better, I will compare it from the aspects of coordination between heating method and decoration, heating speed, energy consumption level and impact on health.

First of all, let's talk about the product of baseboard heating. Because this product is only available in recent years, many people are not familiar with it. The skirting heating was invented by several enterprises led by Yin Wu HVAC International Company after years of research. The word "skirtingradiator" vividly explains the appearance characteristics of this product, which is the abbreviation of "skirting radiator", also known as skirting radiator, skirting radiator and skirting.

Let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of wall heating, floor heating and skirting heating from the following comparison table.

Comparison of advantages and disadvantages of radiator, floor heating and skirting heating

Disadvantages of wall heating (radiator):

As can be seen from the above comparison, in addition to the advantages of convenient maintenance and unaffected ground covering materials, wall heating has many disadvantages, as follows:

1, the appearance is not beautiful, which affects the overall effect of home improvement;

2, occupying the wall, affecting the placement of furniture;

The radiator affects the closing of the curtains.

3. Occupy indoor space. Radiators installed in a house with three rooms and two halls occupy about 2-3 square meters of indoor space;

4, easy to make the wall black, because of convection, after 2-3 years of use, the wall above the radiator will be black;

5, the temperature rises slowly, because the radiator is installed in the corner of the room, and it is mainly convection, it takes a long time for the whole room to reach the ideal temperature.

6, when the ground installation to decorate ugly heating pipes on the wall.

7, high energy consumption, generally 20-30% higher than kicking.

The radiator is installed on the surface and the heating pipe is installed on the wall, which is not beautiful.

Disadvantages of floor heating:

As can be seen from the above comparison, floor heating has almost no other advantages except good comfort, but its disadvantages are as high as the following 10:

Floor heating was first introduced to China from western countries. Because it is heated from under the floor, people's feet are warm and their heads are cold, which makes them feel very comfortable. Because it doesn't occupy the wall, it doesn't black the wall, and it doesn't affect the furniture placement, and the HVAC company hides its shortcomings, or because the floor heating has just started in China, most people, not only consumers, including the person in charge of HVAC and developers, still don't know the shortcomings of floor heating, and some even.

However, this rapid development is deformed and blind, not only without considering energy conservation and environmental protection, but also without considering the harm of floor heating to human health.

Some office buildings, schools, kindergartens and other public areas that need intermittent heating during the day have also installed floor heating. Many working families who have no one at home during the day and only need heating at night are also equipped with floor heating. Because of the inertia of floor heating, they have to provide heating for 24 hours, which leads to a lot of energy waste.

Below we will analyze the shortcomings of floor heating from the aspects of its influence on decoration, heating speed and energy consumption, its influence on health and installation and maintenance.

(A), the impact on the decoration

1, floor heating installation will raise the ground by 8- 10cm, which will affect the house clearance; Sliding doors and entrance doors should be removed and raised.

2. Solid wood floors with wood and earthworms cannot be installed. Only ceramic tiles, laminate flooring and solid wood composite flooring can be installed, and because the thermal resistance of laminate flooring and solid wood composite flooring is generally three times that of ceramic tiles, installing ceramic tiles is a better choice, otherwise the energy consumption will be much higher.

3. Once the floor heating is laid, the floor cannot be modified by slotting, punching and nailing, otherwise it will destroy the floor heating; Moreover, it is also very troublesome to do waterproof and closed water tests twice in the bathroom.

(2), heating speed and energy consumption

1, floor heating is a heating method with slow temperature rise, and it usually takes 3-4 hours to reach the ideal temperature indoors. Therefore, the installation of floor heating is generally open all winter.

2. Intermittent heating is not allowed, and it is not suitable for office workers' families who only need night heating and public places such as schools, kindergartens and office buildings that need to be open during the day and closed at night.

3, not energy saving and environmental protection. This is a heating method with high energy consumption. Generally, it is 2-3 times the energy consumption of ordinary radiators and 3-4 times the energy consumption of kicking.

(3) Impact on health

1, easy to accumulate dust, easy to cause respiratory diseases. It is particularly easy to cause chronic pharyngitis, rhinitis and chronic bronchitis.

2, it is easy to cause diseases such as varicose veins and phlebitis. If the surface temperature is too high for a long time, it will lead to the long-term expansion of blood vessels in the calf, which will eventually lead to diseases. This is why the floor heating regulations stipulate that the surface temperature of places where people stay for a long time cannot be higher than 28 degrees. In fact, it is the experience and lessons of Europe decades ago.

3. Increase the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. If people's feet and lower limbs are in a state of high temperature for a long time, the downward pressure of blood will increase, which will accelerate the upward movement and increase the pressure on the heart, making people prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

4. Increase the chance of getting leukemia. When the floor covering material is reinforced floor and solid wood composite floor, floor heating will accelerate the release of harmful substances such as formaldehyde from the floor to the room. In addition, if people live in this space for a long time, they may get terrible leukemia and other incurable diseases.

(4) Installation and maintenance

1. The renovated house cannot be installed. It can only be used for concealed installation of undecorated houses, and cannot be installed in old houses.

2. High maintenance cost. First, each loop of the floor heating pipeline is long and has large resistance, which leads to slow water flow and easy deposition of system impurities, especially for central heating;

For those floor heating pipes with non-oxygen-blocking pipes, because the system is easy to breed a large number of Legionella bacteria and slowly deposit on the inner wall, the inner diameter of the floor heating pipe becomes smaller, the resistance increases and the heat transfer is blocked. Therefore, professionals should be asked to clean it every 1-2 years, otherwise the heating temperature will not be reached and the later maintenance cost will be higher.

Once the floor heating pipe is damaged, it is particularly troublesome to maintain it. Before maintenance, tiles or floors must be removed and concrete torn. Not only is the maintenance cost extremely high, but it is also very troublesome. Once damaged, it is almost impossible to maintain.

Compared with wall heating and floor heating, skirting heating perfectly combines the heating function and decorative function of skirting, and abandons the shortcomings of floor heating and wall heating, which is a perfect heating method at present. To sum up, skirting heating has the following advantages:

1, the warmth of the skirting line is in perfect harmony with the floor, wall and furniture, and does not destroy the overall style and layout of home decoration.

The warmth of the skirting line is both a radiator and a skirting line, which is perfectly integrated with the wall.

2, does not occupy the wall, does not affect the furniture placement.

3, do not raise the ground, does not affect the house clearance.

4, smoke-free wall, no dust. Radiating heat from around the room to the middle will not blacken the wall like wall heating, nor will it raise indoor dust like wall heating and floor heating.

Warm kicking and decoration are perfectly integrated.

5, the ground decoration materials are not limited. Can install solid wood flooring, solid wood composite flooring, laminate flooring, tiles and other floor covering materials, including wood and earthworms.

6、

The temperature rises rapidly, so it can be heated intermittently. Generally, when the heat source is turned on 10-20 minutes, the ideal temperature can be reached indoors, which is a good choice for office workers' families, office buildings, kindergartens, schools and other places that need intermittent heating.

Kicking warms up quickly.

7、

It is a more energy-saving heating method. Because the skirting heating is made of aluminum alloy, with small water capacity and high heat dissipation per meter, it is faster and more energy-saving in all heating methods, saving at least about 60% energy than the general wet-laid water heating system and at least about 20% energy than the general wall-mounted radiator.

8、

Invisible pipe heating method for exterior wall of old house. Two aluminum-plastic heating guides with a diameter of 20mm can be placed behind the baseboard heater. For those renovated houses without heating equipment, just remove the original wooden or ceramic skirting and replace it with a skirting heater. The main heating pipe can be arranged behind the skirting heater, and there are almost no heating pipes on the wall of the room. It can be said that the Inwarm skirting heater is a wise heating method for the renovation of old houses.

When the skirting line is installed in the renovated house, the heating system pipe is arranged from behind the skirting line and cannot be seen on the wall.

9、

Easy to install and maintain. Because the installation of the new house in Yinwu Kicking Warm adopts octopus concealed installation system and the underground adopts all-aluminum plastic pipe, there is no risk of water leakage; The reconstructed house adopts the double-pipe system of the same scheme, and the heating pipes are all arranged from behind the baseboard, which is similar to the surface-mounted system of ordinary radiators. The only difference is that the heating pipe is moved from the top of the wall to the back of the skirting line below, and the heating pipe joint is behind the decorative cover, which is very convenient for maintenance as soon as it is taken.

10、

Durable, with the same life as the building. Generally, the wall thickness of the baseboard channel is relatively thick, which is 2-3 times that of the common radiator channel. As long as the heating water quality meets the national standards, it can be used for a lifetime and will not be corroded.

1 1、

Meet the physiological requirements of human body and have high comfort. Because it is water heating, it is not dry when heating, and it starts from people's feet, which is suitable for the physiological requirements of warming feet and cooling head, and is also a health care treatment method for users with arthritis and old cold legs by means of thermal radiation.

Kick-off heating radiates heat from around the room to the middle, with high comfort and rapid temperature rise.

12、

It is a green, environmentally friendly and healthy heating method. The material of the warm skirting is aluminum alloy, and the color coating outside is environmentally-friendly electrostatic plastic powder, which has no health impact on human body; Moreover, it will not raise dust like warm walls and warm floors, and will not cause respiratory diseases; If it is not heated from underground, it will not aggravate the formaldehyde volatilization of laminate flooring and solid wood composite flooring. And it will not cause risks such as leukemia; In addition, the high surface temperature caused by floor heating will not cause health hazards such as varicose veins and phlebitis.

As can be seen from the above comparison, kicking is the most perfect heating method at present. But some friends may ask, does it have any shortcomings? Yes! That is, because the skirting heater itself is not only a heating device or decorative skirting, it should be installed on the wall where it can be installed, so the total length of installation is large, so its total cost will be correspondingly higher, higher than ordinary low-grade radiators and floor heating, but not higher than copper-aluminum composite radiators and high-grade floor heating (floor heating with oxygen insulation pipes and aluminum-plastic pipes). Because no matter how to install radiator and floor heating, the owner has to buy another solid wood skirting line. A better solid wood skirting line costs more than 30 yuan per meter, which is equivalent to the owner adding more than 30 yuan per square meter. In addition, the floor heating needs to be backfilled with pisolite concrete. If the concrete with a height of 5cm is backfilled according to the national code for floor heating construction, and 55 yuan is added per square meter, the actual cost paid by the owner for installing ordinary radiators and floor heating is not lower than that for skirting heating. This is not counting the energy-saving cost of skirting heating, which is about 20% more energy-saving than ordinary radiators and 60% more energy-saving than floor heating. Even if the initial investment cost of installing skirting heating is high, the energy-saving cost of 2-3 years is enough to make up for the additional investment cost.

So generally speaking, wall heating and floor heating are not as good as kicking, which is the most perfect heating method at present.
