Don't get a job in Iraq then. Did you see they had 50 C??? How could you
hack that? It's 22C here tonight and I'm boiled.



Humidity.

37C and say better than 30% humidity is as uncomfortable as 50C and 5%
humidity. Been in both. Tropical rain forest and arid desert.

20 deg or so is fine for me. Living in a room hot enough to cause heat
stroke is definitely an odd taste.


I'll let you into a secret. Even forced air has a thermostat on the wall.
If you want 20C you get it. Amazing!

You're missing the point. Body temperature is 37C ish. Comfortable

room
temperature is between 18 and 21C. I know this because I work in a

large
open plan office and sit beside the control. There is a constant battle
between different people jacking the heat and turning it down. So much

so
the management brought in some bozo specialist to sort the whole thing

out.
Hasn't made a blind bit of difference. The bit I sit at is colder and

that
suits me just fine, especially since I have been pregnant 2 and quarter
years in the last 5.

You know, thats the warmest kind of heating you can have. Another

entity
hatching inside you. And you boyos can't argue on that....



Mmm. Thats the trouble with radiators. Hot spots and cold spots as they
rely on a very hot surface transferring heat by air movement to the cold
parts. Air movement means some sort of draught


Air movement does mean a draught at all.

- even if low level. And
it IS at low level - usually a cold air current rund the feet moving
towards the radiator.

I quite like hot air blowers I have to say. At least they have *hot*
draughts. But they aren't as good as UF.

Don't worry about the UF lag either. From a sensible coolness as of
having been off all day, to be up to temp is usually less than an hour.
Screed UF systems have such a huge thermal inertia they never ever cool
down that much.
I like you decided not to UF heat parts of the floor that seemd would
not need it - sink and cooker area. and entrance lobby. I was roight on
teh cooker, less right on teh sink, and almost wrong on teh lobby. Put
extra coils of pipe where people leave outside doors open while
unloading shopping, and where any micro draughts due to letter boxes or
simply the inevitable hing gap/ keyholes


If letterboxes cause a draught, get rid of them and have a proper letter box
screwed to the wall outside. These are becoming very popular. And other
draughts should be attended. You don't put extra heating in, just eliminate
the draught.

This is not accurate.

If you think it is inaccurate please explain


It is not accurate in his assumption comfort levels.


So you agree that with blown air systems the surface temperature of
interior surfaces will always be equal to or below air temperature?


That is obvious. Once warmed up, equal to.

The body is always
cooling. It is the rate of cooling that makes us feel hot or cold.

Some
surfaces in line of sight of the body extract heat from the body more

than
others. The surface type and colour also make a difference. Temperature

of
the surface is just one aspect of MRT. If you read both authors, this

is
said in a round about way.


Mean radiant temperature is simply the area weighted mean
temperature of all the objects surrounding the body. It will be
positive when surrounding objects are warmer than the average skin
temperature and negative when they are colder.


Not quite right. Some surfaces reflect radiant heat and may not be warm at
all. This is where MRT is confusing. It is merely not just surface
temperatures of objects.

snip misunderstanding of MRT and forced air.

You can't. You don't understand MRT, and few actually do. It is

regarded
as one of those things invented to explain something.


It is simply basic physics and
physiology, nothing magic or
complicated about it.


It is not totally complete and reliable.

Only in catalogue land. The great
advantage of slow reaction systems
is the controls can be really
simple _if_ the design is right in the
first place.


Nonsense!!! Do your physics make
the concrete slab heat up faster or cool
faster?


no - which is why fancy controls are not usually needed.


You haven't a clue soldier boy.

Stop prattling on about physics you fool. No designer look at his O

levels
physics book when designing a heating system.


If he doesn't understand the physics
of heat loss and gain how then
does he design it?


Oh my God. Stop reading those How Things Work books.

Because your house is occupied most of the time.


Is it?


So you said/implied.

It s been a "fad" for the last 15 years
at least. (actually the last
2000 odd to be more precise)


It is a fad. The number installed systems at the mo is in single %age
figures. When the building boom really starts it will be insignificant

in
installed systems.


Of course - because developers want
the cheapest quickest and
simplest systems they can stuff in
their little boxes. Quality is
not an issue.


If UFH sells they will put it in.

Balls!!! Dream on. You have lived in army
houses.


Most of my houses were not army houses.

And you have experienced ?


Design and installation of 1000s of them.


and never lived with the consequences
of any, like most plumbers.


Not a plumber soldier boy.

I wasn't design/installed properly.

An assortment of far better qualified
people than you


They are not better qualified or
experienced than me.


If you care to let us know your qualifications
and experience I'll compare them for you.


No thanks soldier boy. You don't know enough.

including engineers (not fitters) from
the manufacturers have said it is well
designed and installed.


Balls!! If it was designed and installed well the user would love it.


It was, he doesn't.

More or less, some types of flooring don't like the raised

Surely underfelt would act like an insulator?


Yes it does - but it isn't a very good one and in practice makes no
noticeable difference.


Except an even longer war up period.


No. Don't confuse insulation with thermal inertia. Get an education i

Any personal experience out there? Is it costly to run? I like the

idea

as

this will be a family room and we have 3 kids under 4, they spend so

much
time rollling round the floor I thought it may be a good idea to warm

the
floor...

Any sane thoughts appreciated

Phew I've started World War III!!
But it has brought out a lot of good points.

To summerise: People like underfloor heating, but it needs to be put

down
well.
Issues to consider: are heatup time lag (the changeable Autumn/Spring
weather point was good), avoid hotspots, good underfloor insulation,
separate controller at boiler, no radiator to hang your wet socks (sorry
this is important to me).
Good things a a comfortable heat at lower temps, warm bare toes,
radiators not hogging wall space, cosy warm floor for kiddies to roll

on,
overall lower cost in my situation.

My situation is: this is for a large L-shaped room 20'x20' which will be
kitchen/ dining/ living space. Ventilation/ heating are very important

as
we are combining a cooking and living environment. I only work

mornings,
home with after school childcare and quite often have to be up at night

with
wains, so always on heating is fine. The back door will open into a

sunroom
part of this area - draughts when the door is opened, plus condensation

from
kitchen activity on sunroom windows.

My experience was of being brought up in a 200yr old farmhouse with only

an
Rayburn Royal for heat, or open the airing cupboard in the bathroom to

take
the chill of an enamal bath. Consequently I can stand too much heat,

and
especially heat convection/hot air heaters. Turns me into a heat

hogging
zombie with red legs.

What I think maybe good for us will be a separate controller for UF to

the
combi (located just off this room) and a good control for settings. I

will
not run the UF round the cooking and dishwasher/ sink area as I would
overheat. In addition I will run a slim radiator round under the

windows in
the sunroom as this will be the coldest area, most prone to

condensation,
and also give me somewhere to warm socks towels etc.

Whadda think??



I think, unlike IMM, you have grasped the essentials.

On the contrary, to quote from http://meanradianttemperature.com/

"Good Thermal Design Tips (extract)

Use hydronic radiant floors

Heat people, not air"


Richard Kadulski wrote the following on MRT in the Renewable Energy
Policy Project :-

"A simple formula has been developed that allows normal comfort level
of a room to be calculated by adding the two primary heating
components: air temperature and mean radiant temperature (average
room surface temperature).

The formula is: air temperature ( F) + mean radiant
temperature ( F) = 140 ( F).

For example, with a conventional forced warm air heating system we
can maintain comfortable conditions at an air temperature of about 72
deg F (22 C) with a mean radiant temperature of 68 F (72 + 68 =
140).

With a radiant heating system, comfort is achieved at 68 F air
temperature if the mean radiant temperature is 72 F (68 + 72 = 140)".

With blown air systems the radiant temperature of all surfaces must
always be equal to or below the air temperature and for equivalent
levels of comfort higher, not lower, temperatures are required.


Kadulski, also wrote about comfort conditions, "While this may all seem like
much ado about nothing, it underlines that this fundamental idea is too
complex to define crisply with measurable numbers."

The body may be a complex biological system but thermoregulation and

order to operate.

Of course in your case this may be different, since you are able to

No he doesn't.
I know you don't believe in physics, but would you like to explain how
a person with a normal body temperature of around 37 degrees gains any
heat from air at a comfortable temperature of 20 degrees or so?


It is the rate of cooling that makes a body comfortable or not. Nothing to
do with physics.


You do realise the physics is a science that deals with matter and energy
and their interactions, not one of the Mr Men gone so bad he should be
avoided at all costs?

Oh Andy has just read How Things Work Bokk too.

Yep. Use the Aga. It does great toasted bacon butties as well....


An Aga. How naff!!!


Yeah, probably only snotty uni types make bacon butties on an Aga!


That one does.

Lets see If I've got this right, you of indeterminate, indeed if any,
education training or experience wish us to believe that you know
more than the senior designer from the manufacturers of the equipment
installed and a number of qualified experienced heating engineers
(two of whom were M Eng Chartered Building Services Engineers, both
FCIBSE). These people spent a considerable amount of time working on
the installation yet you, who have never seen it, know more about it
than they do ?

This seems a bit improbable wouldn't you agree?


It is improbably that a well designed and specified forced air and vent
systems is exceptionally bad that is requires ripping out.

The fact that you refer to it as a "uni" implies that it probably
is/was ...

Which university was it, by the way .... ?

As much fun as this is, and my hubby's fav thing to do today: look at what
the latest post the looney has left; why do it?

Is it like having a wobbly tooth, you just can help but poke it?

We keep hoping that we'll wake up and find sixpence under the pillow
because the tooth has fallen out, but it doesn't seem to have happened
yet.....

Possibly, however I wouldn't know, you would need to ask someone who
has served in the army.
