What are the factors that can affect the cooling capacity of a radiant floor cooling system?
The cooling capacity of a floor system depends on the heat exchange between the floor surface and the space (convective and radiant heat exchange coefficient), the heat conduction between the floor surface and the tubes (floor surface material, type of concrete, slab thickness, spacing between tubes) and the heat transport by water (water flow rate, temperature difference between supply and return). Dew point, floor coverings, AUST (average uncontrolled surface temperature) and average water temperature are also factors that can affect the cooling capacity.
