The warmlyyours design tool for radiant heating quotes. In this design which can also be used in residential systems each heat emitter is located within a separate branch circuit that connects to a common supply main and common return main. Radiant design supply inc. Radiant floor heating installation manuals.

While it was done as a new house was being built in my last house i poured a concrete floor on top of a wood framed floor system and could have put radiant heat in that as well. The heat output from most hydronic emitters be they baseboard radiant floor circuits or air handlers doesn t vary in proportion to the flow rate passing through them. The second section gets down to the nitty gritty details of actual radiant floor installations. My guess as to how this rogue piping layout repeatedly manifests itself is that the designer begins thinking about primary secondary piping and therefore thinks they needs a primary loop.
