Hello everyone,

I have installed in my house an UFH system that consists of:
  • Condensing boiler
  • Hydraulic separator 4.5m3/hr
  • UFH mixing group - TECEfloor – 7745 00 00
  • Manifold TECEfloor – 7731 00 xx

The circuits are laid as follows:
Zone 1
  • 3 circuits 80m each
  • 10 cm spacing
Zone 2
  • 1 circuit 85m
  • 1 circuit 96m
  • 10 cm spacing
Zone 3
  • 1 circuit 100m
  • 10 cm spacing
Zone 4
  • 1 circuit 52m
  • 5 cm spacing

I need your help to figure out how to setup the mixing valve and balancing valve. Right now it is set to 35°C with a 1500l/h set to the balancing valve. I don't know it this is right...

Can someone explain how to find out the optimum adjustments?
Also, is there any way i can find out the pressure drop of the UFH mixing group and distributor? I don't know how to interpret the Thermostat Kvs value and the Return valve Kvs value.

Below are the technical details of the Mixing and pumping unit.
Operating modes:
  • Constant pressure 300 mbar <-- pump is set to this
  • Constant pressure 400 mbar
  • Proportional and
  • Variably adjustable
Output approx. 10 kW,
Primary flow max. 90 °C, primary return max. 55 °C,
Pmax = 6 bar,
Thermostat valve Kvs value 4.0,
Return valve Kvs value 2.7


Many thanks!

There isn't really any technical calculations that need doing to determine the flow temperature.

The recommended mixing valve temperature for inscreed should be 45 degrees.
 
Is it possible to give me further details?
I am seeing that the balance valve can be set to a different value meaning different flow rates.
I don't understand how it balances itself.
Thank you!
