The B+B floor temperature sensor - An all-rounder for your floor heating system

At that time, wood was fired in a cavity between the floor and the ground, the floor heated up and passed the heat into the room.
Today's so-called surface heating systems, which include underfloor heating, work with the entire floor area of a room. Thus, underfloor heating is particularly suitable for energy sources such as heat pumps or solar thermal systems, because they operate most efficiently at low temperatures. In addition, underfloor heating is particularly suitable as a heat accumulator due to the long length of the pipe.
But not all underfloor heating is the same. The most widespread are the wet and dry systems. The wet system is particularly suitable for new buildings, as here the heating pipes are laid directly in the screed and thus firmly connected to the floor. The heat dissipation into the floor and thus into the room is thus particularly efficient. The dry system, on the other hand, is more suitable for retrofitting. The water pipes are laid in an insulation layer underneath the floor and transfer the heat through the insulation layer to the floor and to the room.
Whether wet or dry system, the B+B floor sensor can be used in both variants. For this purpose, the sensor is connected to the thermostat with the free cable ends. The sensor tip is then inserted into a pipe laid on the ground. This should be closed at the head end so that the probe for measuring the soil temperature is protected. In addition, the sensor, which is equipped with an NTC 2 kΩ or 10 kΩ sensor, is completely encapsulated, giving it a high degree of protection. In addition, the sensor can be replaced more easily in the event of a repair. Outside the pipe are then the heating pipes through which the hot or even cold water flows. The B+B temperature sensor measures the temperature in the floor and passes it on to the thermostat, via which the user can then regulate the temperature specifically.
