Floor Warming

Ray. Sol System 2

Ray. Sol Applications • Freezer Frost Heave Prevention • Concrete Floor Warming • Heat Loss Replacement • Tile and Marble Floor Warming 3

Tile and Marble Floor Warming • Application Overview – Not primary heat source - comfort heat – Residential bathrooms – Embedded in mortar under tile – Low density concrete (Gypcrete) often used 4

Heat Loss Replacement • Application Overview – Used in areas over unheated space such as parking – – garage Objective is to have net zero heat flux Run in conduit or attached to bottom of floor 5

Concrete Floor Warming • Application overview – Not primary heat source - comfort heat – Schools, gymnasiums, bathrooms – Run in conduit 6

Frost Heave Prevention • Application Overview – Moisture in ground under cold storage areas (<32 degrees) freezes forcing up floors – Insulation slows, but does not prevent, freezing 7

Ray. Sol Installation Methods • Embedded in mortar • In conduit embedded in concrete • In conduit embedded in subsoil • Attached to the bottom of concrete floor 8

Tyco Thermal Controls Solution • Self-regulating heating cable – Ray. Sol 1 and Ray. Sol 2 • Components – FTC-XC, FTC-P -- Power connections – Ray. Clic-E -- End Seal • Design Software • – Automated design guide (RS-ADG) Literature – Design guide – Installation and operation manual – Installation instructions 9

Define the Application • Each section of the design Guide is a Unit 10

Select the Heating Cable Spacing • Use the proper table to select spacing and determine amount of heating cable required. 11

Heating Cable Layout • Determine the heating cable and component layout for your application. 12

Design the Electrical System • Use the maximum circuit length to determine the number of circuits required. 13
