One of the latest developments in the field of creating efficient system heating systems is a rod carbon warm floor. The design of such a system is based on graphite-silver rods connected by a high-degree cable.

The advantages that carbon floors possess:

• can be used as a primary or additional system;
• small weight design does not create a load on the overlap;
• can be removed from operation at any time;
• efficiency;
• not afraid of corrosion;
• rods can be placed under furniture - overheating The system is not afraid;
• the service life is equal to the deadlines of the heated building;
• there is no need to highlight the boiler room;
• can be used with any floor coatings;
• possible installation on the squares of any size and any purpose;
• systems have explosion and fire safety;
• electromagnetic radiation is absent;
• can be used in high humidity premises.

Carbon Warm Paul Installation Technology

Carbon infrared warm floor can be installed, not possessing special training. Work can be divided into the following steps.

1. The main component, from which the warm floor is going - carbonate mat. The amount of it depends on the area of \u200b\u200bthe room. If the carboxyment mat will be used as the main heating system - it is enough to purchase it in an amount of about 80% of the total floor area. Together with it, the thermostat thermostat, a set of electrical wiring, bitumen insulation, couplings connecting, corrugated pipe and heat insulator with heat-reflecting outer layer are purchased. We also need crimp pliers and construction hairdryer.
2. The base surface is cleared of garbage, if necessary, aligned with a screed.
3. The heat-insulating material is laid, which can use foam polyethylene with a foil reflective layer.
4. The thermal insulation is necessary to reduce the loss of thermal energy. Polyethylene is located with a foil layer up. Sheets are aligned, stacked jack and fasten with scotch, on the basis of the construction staples are fixed. Important: On top of the foil should be a protective film. It will prevent the destruction of the metallized coating under the influence of the alkali contained in the cement-sand screed solution.
5. Located solid carbon warm floor. The connection of the elements is performed using the mounting sets corresponding to the brand of the warm floor and the mounting wires. The upper side should be the one on which connecting sleeves are located. The layout is performed by the thermostat (from the place selected for it). It is important that the neighboring bands do not come to each other on a friend. So that they do not shift, fix the warm floor of Scotch.
6. In the event that it is necessary to deploy a web or change the direction of its styling, the wire connects the adjacent carbon rods in the middle of the direction. After that, the band can be deployed.
7. Install the thermostat. For it, choose a place on a free wall at a height of 300 mm above the floor level. It is necessary to prepare a slight recess for the thermostat and the stroke for wires in a protective corrugated pipe.
8. We connect the thermostat to the electrical network with a wire Warning of 1 × 2.5 or other with similar characteristics. The terminals specified in the leadership attach the findings of the heating floor.
9. Protection against damage to the current is provided by the Uzo - the protective shutdown device (it is installed in the camshaft).
10. Strips connect with each other mounting wires. Isolation at the ends of the cut-off connecting wires we clean and insert into the coupling that crimped with special ticks. Tightness will provide a heat-suite tube (put on the wire in advance): it is heated by the usual lighter or construction hairdryer, starting in the middle and moving towards the edges.
11. Similarly, perform the attachment of power wires. Checking the scheme, we connect the heating floor to the power grid.
12. The thermal sensor in the floor is so that it is exactly in the middle between two adjacent rods. For the sensor, the grooves, and fix the part of the scotch. The sensor itself, together with connecting wires, must be protected by a corrugated tube, the end of which is closed with a plug. Connecting wires are connected to the terminals of the thermostat as indicated in the instructions.
13. To protect the system from overheating, a second sensor is necessary, which mounted similarly.
14. We test the system: for this we turn on it and increase the power to the maximum. The test should not last longer than 15 minutes. It is necessary to inspect all the places of compounds for the object of intrichings and the discharge of isolation. If such defects are detected - everything should be corrected and test the system again.

Carbon Floor Laying

On top of the mounted carbon floor, before you can lay the tile, the device is required. For it, use a special mixture intended for warm floors. The following requirements should be performed.

1. The minimum allowable screed thickness is 20 mm: this condition is dictated by the need to obtain a uniformly heated surface.
2. Laying of ceramic tile is possible only after complete drying of the screed, that is, 28 days later.
3. Carbon rods can be laid directly into tile glue. The adhesive mixture is selected that it is capable of withstanding heating. The glue layer also should not be thinner than 20 mm.
4. It is possible to distribute glue by gender and align it only with a plastic gear spatula, since the metal can damage the insulation of the connecting wires and carbon rods.
5. In order for the screed or glue not cracking, along the wall in front of the pouring, you should lay a strip of foamed polyethylene. It will compensate for the thermal expansion.

About the design of carbon heating floor

Carbon rods are a carbon-polymer composite with insulation of polyethylene or polyester. The composition of the composite can also include silver and graphite. The compound is performed by a multicore copper conduction of 2.5 mm². The insulation of the connecting wires has a thickness of 3 mm. Radiation of carbon heating mats - infrared waves, the length of which is in the range of 8 - 14 microns.

Everyone who tried carbon warm floor, reviews about such a heating system only positive. In the heating room will always be warm and dry, and electricity costs will be minimal.
