would you recommend radiant floor cooling system in a house?
I am about to install a underfloor heating/cooling system, which is flexible pipes with a manifold, thermostats and a water chiller/heater.
For the heating i know that it is a perfect system if the floor temperature does not go above 30deg. Celsius, but for the cooling i have no idea, is it effective?
What would be the water temperature inside the pipes, knowing that i live in a very hot climate that can reach up to 47deg. Celsius, and the temperature inside the house should be around 22C.
Some people told me that specially in the basement (humidity) the floor can become slippery.
I need to know what is the recommended floor temperature for cooling and what is the recommended water temperature inside the pipes.
Thank you
I have to agree with the previous answerer. In floor heating would make sense, but I don't see how in floor cooling would do anything. In floor heating is actually very efficient because the heat will radiat and fill the area. Again I don't see how in floor colling would work unless it was placed on the second floor of a home and was used to coll the first floor, for the same reasons mentioned by the previous answerer.
