Zoning System Improves Radiant Floor Heating Efficiency

Uponor North America has released its Climate Control Zoning System II, which features Autobalancing technology that boasts 25 percent faster reaction times and up to 20 percent greater energy savings for radiant floor heating systems. Autobalancing technology calculates the actual energy need of single rooms and adapts the heat output of each loop by controlling the actuator’s on and off cycle. This technology allows the system to react to temperature changes faster and offers greater energy savings in the process. The complete system consists of a base unit, an expansion module, and digital or dial thermostats. A single base unit in the system can support up to six thermostats and eight actuators. Adding an expansion module will increase the number of thermostats and actuators the system can handle to 12 and 14, respectively.
