| Abstract |
Radiant floor heating uses a boiler to warm water, which is then circulated through the floor to heat indoor spaces. Traditionally, a single-point thermostat controls the water temperature and flow rate, resulting in uneven heating and increased energy consumption. A recent study has introduced MRT sensing controller technology, which measures the average radiant temperature across the entire room to optimize heating and energy efficiency. Comparative experiments with the traditional system highlighted its advantages. MRT sensing control technology provides more consistent floor surface temperatures, enhancing indoor comfort. Positioned in the center of the room, it reduced energy consumption by approximately 10%, leading to cost savings and a more eco-friendly heating solution. In summary, MRT sensing control technology improves radiant floor heating by ensuring uniform comfort, lowering energy costs, optimizing boiler use, and promoting environmental sustainability, in line with the trend toward energy-efficient and environmentally responsible heating solutions. |
