Modern research on the use of underfloor heating

The present article is devoted to the application and recent research of underfloor heating. As underfloor heating is used all over the world, there is a great deal of various studies on the topic. In the current article different types of underfloor heating as well as modern scientific developments and research are presented. Also, regulatory documentation that normalizes the parameters of the system under consideration is described. The studies of A.O. Stimakov and Waldemar Scheller who invented panels for underfloor water heating system are described. The theoretical work of E.P. Bazunov and V.U.Kravchuk who conducted a study on underfloor heating using an economic method has been considered and, as a result, a comparison of two types of underfloor heating depending on the area of the premise was performed. The results of Yu Wanga, Zhigang Zhanga, Falong Hea and Xueli Liub who carried out an experimental study on the step of laying a warm floor using a special installation that enables us to reproduce the real parameters of the microclimate of the premise have been studied. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2023.
