The main activity of the Danish company Devi is the development, production and sale of heating systems, which include heating cables and temperature controllers. Over the years, European quality, high reliability of materials used in production and high-tech equipment, is the key to high quality Devi floor heating systems. In the reviews, consumers separately note the ease of installation and ease of use of heating systems of this brand.
Warm floor Devi: advantages, features, advantages of use
Warm flooring is first of all, undoubted comfort and coziness in your home. Additional controls make the system even more convenient thanks to the ability to automatically control the temperature sensor. Why do most buyers choose Devi Electric Underfloor Heating? In the reviews, consumers note that the heating mats emit smooth, even warmth, helping to maintain natural humidity and temperature in the room.
Significant benefits when using underfloor heating
When fan heaters or electric convectors are used as a heating element, warm air rises up, cools down and falls down, thereby forming convection currents. The purpose of such heating devices is to quickly warm the room. And the Devi warm floor, the reviews of the owners confirm this, creates a comfortable atmosphere of uniform heat, without drafts, while saving energy.
Warm floors - this is a whole complex with careful calculations of energy consumption, using sensors and temperature regulators responsible for the overall temperature in the room. With prolonged use of a warm floor, costs are significantly reduced.
Ease of installation
The Heat-insulated floor system is easily mounted both in a building under construction and on an existing coating. Devi warm floor under tiles or under the laminate combines not only comfort and coziness, but also the ability to place it under the most modern floor coverings. The heating system is extremely reliable and does not require additional maintenance.
How to install the system yourself:
- the working surface must be covered with foil material;
- if necessary - you can optionally install waterproofing;
- Further Devi thermomats are stacked;
- the system is checked after being connected to the mains;
- the topcoat is laid.
Devi electric underfloor heating implies the hidden installation of all systems - it is installed in the floor screed and does not interfere or take up space at all, unlike other heating appliances. Warranty on underfloor heating of this company is 20 years. And the company’s specialists claim a system life of up to 80 years. The use of modern materials and shielded two-wire cables makes the warm floor completely safe.
Devi warm floor, in the reviews consumers especially note this, contributes to the creation of a comfortable atmosphere with natural humidity and the absence of drafts. In addition, the temperature near the floor is slightly higher than in the upper part of the room, which creates a feeling of incredible comfort.
The principle of operation of Devi floor heating, their use in residential and industrial premises
Underfloor heating can be used as a primary or secondary heating system. The system is used as the main source of heat in those cases when it is impossible to carry out central heating in an apartment or cottage. In apartments with cold floors, Devi warm cable flooring is also actively used for comfortable heating.
In the reviews, the owners note that in both cases, heating costs are very moderate. So, underfloor heating completely replaces central heating, maintaining a comfortable temperature in the room. As a standard, the system includes a temperature regulator, mounting tape and, directly, the main component - a heating mat for Devi floor heating. In the reviews, consumers indicate the possibility of using additional accessories to preserve heat and insulation of surfaces. It can be a weekly timer, a push-button display, and more.
Save energy with Devi floor heating
Every year, electricity tariffs increase and the question arises, how to reduce costs without limiting yourself and loved ones in comfort and convenience. When heating a room using a warm floor, there are two options for solving this problem.
The first is a decrease in the temperature of the warm floor during the day, when no one is at home or at night, during sleep. Why waste energy? During the working week, maintaining a comfortable temperature of the warm floor is required only in the morning and evening hours.
The second is to take advantage of the reduced rate. If you have the opportunity to use electricity at a reduced rate (usually at night), why not take advantage of this by using a heat storage system for the underfloor heating.
Economy mode when using thermomats
When using warm floors, you can save up to 25% of electricity. Its consumption depends on the mode of use, the thermal insulation of the floor and the room itself, as well as on the set temperature that the cable heating system must maintain. For an ordinary apartment, at a comfortable floor temperature, the energy consumption will correspond to 30-60% of the rated power of the system. The higher the floor heating temperature is set, the more electricity is needed to maintain it and vice versa. Setting the temperature reduction mode to 5 ° C, at night, when everyone is sleeping, and during the day, when everyone is on business, will save up to 15-25% of electricity.
The economy mode is especially noticeable when using thermomats - thin Devi warm floors. In the reviews, the owners note that they are less heat-absorbing than systems using a screed (3-5 cm). The point is that thin warm floors quickly cool and heat up quickly. Before you come home from work, they will turn on much later than underfloor heating using a screed. So, lowering the floor temperature by only 5 ° C, you can save on electricity without compromising yourself in comfort and convenience. To use this option, you need a programmable thermostat or a thermostat with a function for lowering the temperature and a time relay.
After several heating cycles, the Devi thermostat for underfloor heating will determine the optimal time for the “Warm floor” system to turn on. With this device, saving will be much easier and more profitable.
For a country house
And in the cold season, the use of the Heat-insulated floor system with a programmable temperature controller in a country house will allow you to come to an already warm room. Suppose you decide to visit a suburban area in the winter. If the house is not heated, then it is advisable to get there in the morning in order to have time to warm up the frozen premises by night. Start the boiler, turn on the electric convectors, and by the evening the house gradually starts to warm up. Finally, it warms up only the next morning. With the “Warm floor” system and a programmable thermostat, you can come to the already heated comfortable house, where you can even walk barefoot on the floor. Before your arrival, the system will turn on in advance and warm up the room to the set temperature, and if for some reason you have not arrived, it will turn off. Electricity consumption will be minimal.
Accumulation system
Devi takes energy-saving technology seriously. She has developed a heat storage system for underfloor heating. The bottom line is as follows. The heating cable is laid in a thick layer of concrete, the height of the screed is 7-10 cm. This massive layer of concrete accumulates the heat generated by the cable during the discount rate. During this time (most often it is eight hours), the system “generates” and accumulates such an amount of heat that is enough for the remaining 16 hours (before the start of the next grace period). This principle is well known to all of us, it is used in the Russian stove: a thoroughly melted stove remains warm for about a day.
Warm floor connection diagram
If you need to connect one heating section to the thermostat for the underfloor heating system, as a rule, there are no issues with the connection. Each temperature controller is accompanied by instructions with a description and connection.
When switching the heating sections of the warm floor, an increase in the system power occurs, and direct connection to the thermostat is often impossible. So that the Devi floor heating controller does not fail (it just does not burn out), magnetic starters (relays) are used. When they are used, the heating sections of the warm floor are connected to the contacts of the magnetic starter, while the thermostat will only control the on or off of the magnetic starter.
Warm floors - the best solution
Summing up, it is worth noting that the company Devi, created in 1942, still produces high-quality heating equipment. A wide range of products allows each customer to choose the right product for themselves. A feature of the products is the fact that the company produces not only the cables themselves for heating surfaces, but also additional equipment for the Devi floor heating. In the reviews, customers note the high quality and durability of the DEVIreg controllers, connectors, mechanical and programmable LCD thermostats. Danish specialists managed to create an amazingly simple interaction of all floor heating systems.
In addition, underfloor heating is an invisible source of heating. This allows you not to worry about the place for radiators when creating interior design and furniture arrangement. And the solutions offered by the company allow you to install a system of underfloor heating for any coating, to ensure a comfortable temperature in absolutely any room: apartment, office, gym, etc.
