①
Villas whose load is generally larger than the houses should take the value between the middle and the
maximum empirical values listed above.
②
The top lever whose load is generally larger than the middle or bottom layer should take the maximum
empirical value.
③
The guest room whose load is generally much large should take the value between the intermediate and
the maximum empirical values listed above.
④
For those whose external walls or glass areas are large, it is recommended to take the load calculation.
⑤
The heating load for the bathroom is generally 500W/room.
3.2 Selection of Tube Spacing of the Underfloor Coils
Tube spacing of the underfloor coils which will directly affect heat dissipation of the floor depends on the
tube material, indoor design temperature, supply water temperature and floor material.

The dissipated heat of the floor coil is larger than the load for the floor heating system; however the
deviation cannot be larger than 10%.
3.3 Selection of Loop Quantity of Coils for Each Room
3.3.1Type of Underfloor Coils
When selecting underfloor coils, we should consider both their comfortability and heating capacity. The most
commonly used coils are as shown below.
Square-shaped Coil (Recommended)
U-shaped Coil
Length of coils are calculated as below:
Square-shaped coil: =L*W/tube spacing=area/tube spacing
U-shaped coil: =L-1+L*W/tube spacing=L-1+area/tube spacing
The reason why the square-shaped coils are recommended is because they can keep even temperature

distribution. Special demand can be met by adjusting the tube spacing.
Distance from the room to the water trap/collector should be estimated according to the actual conditions of
the project and generally should not exceed 30m.
3�3�2 Selection of Loop Quantity for Each Room
◆
Length of a single loop should not exceed 100m. If so, it should be divided into multiple loops.
◆
Area of a single loop=tube length×tube spacing=100m×150mm=15m

Length of underfloor coils is recommended to be within 100m and length of each branch should be kept the
same to the most extent.
4 Quantity and Location of the Water Traps and Collectors
The water trap (collector) is a kind of device for distributing water for the water supply and return tubes.
4.1 Design Requirements on Loop Quantity for Circulation Water
1) One water trap (collector) is allowed for at most eight loops. When quantity of loops exceeds 12, then two
traps (collectors) should be used, or it will cause uneven water distribution.
2) The maximum flow rate of the water trap (collector) should be less than 0.8m/s.
3) The inlet and outlet of each loop should be connected to the water trap (collector) and the inner diameter
of the water trap (collector) should be or larger than that of the main water supply/return tube.
Calculation of loop quantity for circulation water can be done as per the forma below
N=A/A1
N——loop quantity
A—— total floor heating area (unit: m
2
)
A1—— floor heating area per single loop (unit: m
2
)
Example for how to calculating the floor heating area per single loop: when the tube length is 120m, and
tube spacing is 200mm, then the floor heating area per single loop is 120×0.2=24m2.
4) One trap (collector) cannot be used for different floors, or it would cause uneven water distribution.

5) Distance between the unit and the water trap (collector) should be within 15m. If the distance exceeds
20m, then it is required to calculate the hydraulic power.
4.2 Requirements on Installation of the Water Trap (Collector)
1) The water trap (collector) should be installed on the wall or inside the special box. For housing
constructions, it is generally installed in the kitchen.
2) The valve for the water trap (collector) should be installed horizontally and keep a distance of at least
300mm to the ground.
3) The water supply valve should be installed upstream of the water trap (collector) and the return valve
should be installed downstream of the water trap (collector)
4) A filter is required upstream of the water trap (collector).

5 Section of FCU
5.1 FCU Type Selection
The air-water fan coil unit is optional for Versati units
5.2 Matching of Capacity
Load of the FCU is better to be between 70%~120% of the Versati unit.
Notes:
①
When load of the FCU is too small, the unit would start/stop frequently, which is adverse for oil return.
②
When load of the FCU is too large, the unit would always run under high frequency, which is unhelpful for
energy conservation.

7 Examples for Model Selection

For a two-floor house, there is a master room and a both room for each floor and both of
them require floor heating. Other rooms use the heat pump for heating in winter. The master
room covers 28m

7.2.2 Arrangement Design of the Underfloor System for A Single Floor
Assumed conditions: the floor is cement or ceramics, the normal external diameter of the heating pipe is
20mm, thickness of the stuffer is 50mm, thickness of PS foam insulation is 20mm, supply water temperature is
45°C , return water temperature is 35°C , indoor design temperature is 20°C .
Average Temperature of the Heating Pipe=(45+35)/2=40°C
7.2.3 Arrangement Design of the Underfloor System for the Bath Room
Heat load of the bath room is 900W, heat dissipation per unit area is 75W/m2, tube spacing of the heat pipe
is 30mm, and heat loss is 25.4 W/m2, then the total heat loss is:
25.4×12=304.8W
Based on the heat load listed in the table above, the heating load for the bathroom is:
900+304.8=1204.8W
According to the formula Q=CρGΔT, the flow rate of the heating pipe for the bathroom is:

It can be see that the arranged piping system for the bathroom does not meet the technical requirement and

7.2.4 Arrangement Design of the Underfloor System for the Master and Both Rooms
According to the calculation results, the total heat load for the master and bath rooms is 3196W, heat
dissipation per unit area is 82W/m2, tube spacing of the heating pipe is 300mm, and heat loss 25.4 W/m

then the total heat loss is:

Floor rate of each loop is within 0.25~0.5m/s and the system can run stably.
◆
B. Check for the tube length
When the average tube spacing is 30mm, the required length of the heating pipe per square meter is 3.5m,
length of total coils is 3.5×40=140 and length for each loop is 140/2=70.
It can be seen that the length for each loop is less than 120m and there it meets the design requirement.
