System Name
Define a Name for your Underfloor Heating system to easily identify it within the project.
Floor System
The Floor System refers to the type of Underfloor Heating setup being utilized. This could include various system configurations, depending on the pipe diameter (e.g., 12 mm, 16 mm) and the specific type chosen for the installation.
TOG: acronym for Thermal Overall Grade. The lower the
TOGrating of theFloor System, the lower its thermal resistance is (higher thermal conductivity).
It's not possible at the moment to add your own custom Floor System. The most appropriate action in this case would be picking the Floor System with the closest Heat Output. Heat Output depends on the TOG, Mean Water Temperature and Room Design Temperature. If you are unsure, please contact us via the HelpHub or by emailing to service@h2xengineering.com.
Available Pipe Diameters for Underfloor Heating
The default pipe diameters are:
16mm
12mm
Other manufacturers allow more diameter options:
20mm
17mm
16mm
14mm
12mm
Please ensure the Catalog settings match the Floor System picked in Settings. Underfloor Heating Pipes are under the Coils section in Catalog.
Pipe Material
The Pipe Material indicates the type of material the pipe is made from, such as PEX, P-RT/AL, or P-RT/EVOH.
Max. Loop Length
The Max. Loop Length refers to the maximum allowable length of a pipe loop within a room or partition. A Warning will appear if this limit is exceeded during the setup.
Available Roll Lengths for Generic Coils (m)
This heading covers the standard roll lengths for the Generic Coils available for purchase. These sizes vary based on the manufacturer and are typically offered in specific Lengths, so it’s essential to check what’s available when planning your installation.
Min. Bend Radius
The Min. Bend Radius is the smallest radius at which the Loops are bent in the Room.
Transit Spacing
Transit Spacing refers to the distance between Transit pipes that are going from the Manifold to the Room / Heated Area Partition.
Perimeter Offset
Perimeter Offset refers to the distance between the Wall and the loops. This setting allows you to adjust the gap between the Wall and the loops for each Room.
Loop Direction Degrees
The Loop Direction Degrees refers to the angle or rotation of the loops in the installation. This setting allows you to adjust the direction of the Loops to fit your Room layout and design preferences.
Return Temperature
The Return Temperature works in conjunction with the Flow Temperature to regulate the mean water temperature entering the Loops.
Loop Shape
The Loop Shape refers to the configuration of the Loops within the system. Options include Serpentine, Spiral, and Linear (currently in beta).
Spiral Chirality
Spiral Chirality refers to the direction in which the Loops are formed, either Clockwise or Counterclockwise. This setting influences how the Loops are installed.
Loop Colors
Loop Colors allow you to assign different colors to each loop within the System. This feature can be helpful when working on complex projects with multiple Loops, helping to visually distinguish between them for easier management and installation.
