| Abstract |
The control characteristics for radiant panel heating system with automatic thermostatic valves were researched by computer simulation. The equivalent R-C circuit and radiation heat transfer analysis of enclosure analysis methods were used for the unsteady energy analysis of floor radiant heating system. As control methods for automatic thermostatic valves, room air temperature sensing method, water temperature sensing method, proportional control method and On-Off control method were applied to research effects on heating performance and control characteristics. |
