Hydronic system design manual dectra corporation march 2013 2 the garn unit all related heating equipment including pumps piping fan coils hot water baseboard radiant floor heating systems etc and all electrical equipment including power wiring controls control wiring back up. Radiant floor systems can be considered two pipe systems since each floor circuit is connected in parallel with the other circuits at the manifold stations. The first part contains a general overview of radiant heat and it s various applications. The heat output from most hydronic emitters be they baseboard radiant floor circuits or air handlers doesn t vary in proportion to the flow rate passing through them.

While it was done as a new house was being built in my last house i poured a concrete floor on top of a wood framed floor system and could have put radiant heat in that as well. The second section gets down to the nitty gritty details of actual radiant floor installations. All the necessary components of a well engineered and efficient hydronic radiant floor system are explained in a straight forward and non technical manner. Typically 10 of design flow rate yields about 50 of design heat output.
