Direct acting heating
requiring 60-100 W/m2 (5.5 - 9 W/sqft):
|
| These systems require low
thermal capacity and the heating cables are placed as near to the floor surface as
permitted by local and national authorities. Normally this means that the heating
cable is placed in the lower part of a max. 50mm (2") thick screed
on a high grade thermal insulation.
|
| When renovating, or when space
is essential, special thin screed solutions are used, allowing screed thickness down to
10-15mm (3/8" - 5/8").
|
| By using the factory made heating cable units -all with 17 W/m (5.2 W/ft)
-the calculation of center spacing is simplified.
|
Use the following formula to determine the
length of cable you will need:
open square footage x 12 ÷ length of cable.
(O x 12 ÷ L )
|
| Example:50 ft2 X 12 ÷
96ft (cable TXLP/1 500/17) = 6in on center
