There are two main types of floor heating: water floor heating and electric floor heating. Among them, electric floor heating is deeply liked by people as an energy-saving, environmentally friendly, pollution-free floor heating product. At present, there are two main products for electric floor heating: heating cable electric floor heating and electric heating film heating.
Heating cable electric floor heating
Generally speaking, the temperature is limited to above 65 °C, and the heating cable is first buried under the floor as a heat source to heat the floor, so as to control the room temperature and truly realize the ground heating method.
Electric film heating
Electric film heating is a new heating method that uses electricity as energy source and heat transfer through infrared radiation and is also one of the most advanced heating methods in the world.
Many readers are curious: which is better than heating cable and electric heating film? What are the differences? Let's answer them one by one:
The heating cable has the advantages of "strong waterproof ability, can be applied to the toilet, service life is greater than 50 years, does not require any maintenance costs, and has good temperature uniformity"; On the other hand, the service life of the electric heating film is less than fifty years, requires regular maintenance, poor temperature uniformity, and weak waterproof ability, so it cannot be applied to special areas such as toilets. All in all, the advantages of electric heating film are basically all heating cables, but the disadvantages of electric heating film are many.
First, the safety factor is very low, because the electric heating film requires many wire source connectors, and the more connectors, the higher the hidden danger, and the safety cannot be guaranteed.
Second, there is no ground wire connection. Everyone knows that any electrical has a ground wire, a TV set has it, a washing machine also has it, and if there is no ground wire protection, the consequences are serious.
Third, there is electromagnetic radiation. When the electric heating film is heated by electricity, electromagnetic radiation is generated. Without any shielding, electromagnetic radiation is inevitable.
Fourth, the power will be attenuated. The power of the electric heating film decreases every year, and the temperature in the room drops when the power decays. Because the raw material of the electric heating film is a semiconductor ink, and the attenuation of semiconductors is relatively high.
Fifth, it is not energy-saving. Cement cannot be laid on the electric heating film floor heating, and if there is no cement backfill, it is equivalent to the lack of heat storage layer, resulting in higher operating costs.
As a popular heat tracing method abroad, electric heat tracing is now booming in China, replacing traditional heat tracing in many fields, and providing superior, more economical and energy-saving solutions.
