1. General
Over the past few years, underfloor heating has become highly popular for heating homes and
industrial buildings. What was once considered to be relatively expensive can now be fitted or
retrofitted in almost any building at low cost.

The advantages are not only the cosy warmth provided and architectural freedom in interior
design, but also the low flow temperature and energy saving aspects.

Lower energy consumption means lower heating costs and a lower CO2 impact on the environment.
This enables optimal use of renewable energies and condensing heating technology. Heat pump
systems are extremely energy-efficient and require minimum energy input throughout the year.

Ideal situation Under floor heating Radiator heating Ceiling heating

The energy saving provided by underfloor heating results from the heat radiated from surrounding
components. In order to provide the same level of comfort as conventional radiator heating, it is
possible to reduce the room temperature by 1-2°C. Reducing the room temperature by just 2°C
results in an annual cost saving of 12 %.

A further reason for using underfloor heating is the cosy warmth it provides. The exchange of
heat between the human body and surrounding surfaces, the temperature of which is evenly
distributed and slightly lower than the body, is perceived as particularly pleasant.

Lower temperatures mean higher relative humidity. Underfloor heating is the only type of system
to radiate heat upwards draught-free with an almost ideal temperature profile. The low heat
radiation also suppresses dust turbulence.

a building can be calculated by an

respective components are documented in the energy pass and are compulsory for contractors.

ENEV 2014 and EN 1264

On 16 October 2013, the Federal Government adopted amendments to the Energy Saving
Ordinance (EnEV). The amendments came into force on 1 May 2014 for the most part. The Federal
Government is endeavouring to fulfil the commitments agreed in the 1997 Kyoto Protocol with
the aim of ensuring that virtually all existing building stock is climate-neutral by 2050. The EU
Directive (2010/31/EU), which specifies the total energy efficiency of buildings, is the basis for
EnEV 2014. The most important requirement of the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) for new
buildings is the annual primary energy demand compared to a standardised reference building
with the same dimensions and geometry and specified technical features. Focusing on the total
energy demand has the advantage that less efficient insulation can be compensated by a highly
efficient heating system and vice versa. According to the reference made in the Energy Saving
Ordinance (EnEV) to pertinent DIN, DIN EN and ISO specifications and applicable technical
directives, special reference is made here to possible updates and amendments that were not yet
in force at the time of printing this technical manual.

As the main bulk of the heat generated by an underfloor heating system must be radiated upwards,
the thermal resistance of the layers below are subject to specific requirements. DIN EN 1264, part
4 distinguishes between three types of floor and ceiling constructions with the minimum thermal
resistances shown in the table opposite.

Impact sound requirements

DIN 4109 defines requirements for the sound insulation of rooms requiring protection against
noise. Distinction is made between two types of sound transmission: impact and airborne sound.
The minimum requirement for L´n,w is 53db. The impact sound level is made up of the normalised
impact sound level of a solid floor without floor covering and the impact sound level reduction
of a floor covering. Calculation takes place according to DIN 4109 as shown in the table above.
Increased sound insulation as specified in supplement 2 of DIN 4109 is achieved by an additional
reduction of about 5db. The impact sound level reduction is related to the equivalent dynamic
stiffness according to DIN 29052-1. The table below shows the dependence between the reduction
ΔLw and dynamic stiffness s‘:

The dynamic stiffness according to EN 13163 must also be specified. EN 13163 specifies „Thermal
insulation products for buildings - Factory made expanded polystyrene (EPS) products“. Specified
are material properties with reference to related test methods and conformity assessment,
marking and labelling requirements. Applicationspecific requirements are nationally regulated.
In Germany, this takes place via the application standard DIN 4108-10 „Thermal insulation and
energy economy in buildings“. This specifies minimum requirements for all european harmonised
insulation materials for different areas of application.

Requirements for substructures
Installation of the MAINFLOOR dry construction system is subject to the following conditions:
Substructures must be dry, firm, rigid and free from cracks, dirt and parting compounds must be
removed. The dry construction elements must have full contact and rest flat against the substructure as
the load distribution layers in dry construction systems are unable to compensate for any unevenness.
Any unevenness must be compensated by appropriate measures. This can take place with dry fill material
or earth-moist insulation; depending on the particular requirements, other compensating methods that
have been approved and tested in compliance with the relevant technical directives can also be used.
To prevent damage from rising moisture, the following moisture barriers/foils must be installed, e.g.
bituminous or plastic sheeting with appropriate certification. The requirements of DIN 18650-5 must be
observed.

Supplementary thermal insulation

For increasing the thermal insulation below the MAINFLOOR dry floor system in rooms at ground
level or adjacent to rooms without heating or limited heating subject to compliance with the
requirements of the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV) and DIN EN 1264.

T = Temperature, TD = Design temperature, Tmax = Maximum design temperature, Tmal = Fault temperature

Each application class relates to a typical area of application and takes into account a
service life of 50 years. Classification corresponds to the requirements in ISO 10508-4. All
specified typical fields of application are recommendations and for guidance only. Each
application class has a corresponding permissible operating pressure of 4 bar, 6 bar, 8 bar
or 10 bar, depending on the particular application.
The concept of the application class defines the purpose of ISO 10508-4 - the theoretical
description of dynamic conditions within the application classes accurately reflects the reality
compared to structural data. Manufacturers, planners and installers are provided with a basis for
the selection of suitable pipes for specific areas of application. The application classes 4 and 5
are valid specifically for heating applications, while classes 1 and 2 are valid for hot water supply.
The product standards DIN EN ISO 15875, DIN EN ISO 22391 and DIN EN ISO 21003 define the
application classes for geometrical conditions.

2.5 Connection system
The connection system is selected depending on the type of pipe used and machines available.

Pressing system
The pipe is cut off at right-angles, calibrated and deburred. The respective fitting is then pressed
onto the pipe. Pressing takes place using a pressing jaw mounted on a suitable press. A tight
connection is produced within 10 seconds.

Sliding sleeve system

The pipe is cut off at right angles, the sliding sleeve is fitted to the pipe. The pipe is then widened
so that the fitting can be mounted. The sliding sleeve is moved with suitable sliding forks mounted
on the respective sliding tool.

Clamp ring screwing

The clamp ring screwing enables pipe and manifold connections to be established quickly and
reliably. The connection between the pipe and fitting is established by a combination of clamp
ring screwing and union nut. This is a detachable connection.

Installation instructions

The edge insulation strip must be fixed onto the walls.

The turn plates as well as the turn elements must be

layed in accordance with the plan and the geometrical
characteristics of the room. Eventually needed filling
elemts can be easily cutted and put into the middle of
the flooring.

Individual pipe guidances can be layed with the

available turn plates.

Beginning from the manifold the pipe must be installed

into the pipe guidance of the heat conducting surface.
A multilayer composite pipe with aluminium must be
choosen when installing the dry construction system.

The entire surface can be covered with PE-Foil as a

sliding surface. After doing so the dry concrete plates
can be installed in accordance with the manufacturers
guidelines.

At the very last the heating circuits can be connected to

the manifold.

Installation instructions
Prior to installation of the renovation system, the subfloor must be checked for sufficient load-
bearing capacity by the contractor! The subfloor must be firm, clean (free from grease and cleaning
agents) and free from cracks. Cracks must be filled with resin if necessary and any unevenness
(isolated ridges, pipes, cables) removed. The type of priming depends on the material of the old
substrate. Wood surfaces require special attention, joints must be sealed, primed with special
primer, levelled with a 2 mm thick floor-levelling compound and primed twice with screed primer.
The manufacturer‘s instructions must be observed in any event!

Fixing insulation strip to walls.

Remove about 10 cm of the protective foil, fix the pipe

support foil element including protective foil to the
semicircular profiles in the left corner of the room. Slowly
remove the protective foil and fix to the floor. Place the
next pipe support foil elements with the semicircular
profiles over the outer row of the closed side, connect
the plates and remove the protective foil as for the first
plate. If adhesion to the floor is insufficient, fixing can
take place mechanically if required.

Fast one-man laying of PE-RT heating pipes. Self-

aligning pipe guidance in profiles with 50 mm pitch
and laying at a 45° angle with 70 mm pitch. Fill heating
circuits and test under pressure.

Pouring filling compound.

Dry heating with max. 45°C. Accessible in accrodance

with manufacturers manual (screed).

Renovation system installation examples
The MAINFLOOR renovation system can be installed on different substrates and in different
designs. The manufacturer‘s instructions and pertinent standards must be observed for installation
of the system!
The subfloor must be sound and dimensionally stable, crack and vibration-free, firm, dry and
clean. The underfloor heating must not be switched on while laying the screed and the subfloor
must be at normal room temperature.

The renovation system must be installed as previously described. This processing example is
based on the technical directive [Link] of Knauf. Observe the manufacturer‘s instructions for
processing.

The graph below shows a preparatory heat-up phase for a layer thickness of 20 mm. The floor is
ready for foot traffic after seven days. If a separating layer is to be installed, this is extended by
two days. Readiness for foot traffic is given from a CM residual moisture of 0.5%. If the residual
moisture is not reached - heating and ventilation must be continued (In accordance with the

cannot be installed or an additional heat source is required. The MAINCOR wall heating system
offers considerable advantages compared to conventional heating systems with respect to low
flow temperatures. Walls must be structurally capable of supporting the wall heating. Angular and
flatness tolerances according to DIN 18202 must be observed.

Areas of application
Heating and cooling of buildings
with low flow temperatures.
Dry or classical construction.

Planning
Surface temperatures:
ϑCeiling < 35°C
ϑWall < 35°C
Operating temperatures:
ϑFlow, Ceiling 16 - 40°C
ϑFlow, Wall 16 - 50°C
Generally a flow temperature of 15 - 16°C should not be undercut within a cooling system to
minimise the risk of condensation. The wall must be even as well as stable. Angle and evenness
tolerances have to be in accordance with DIN 18202. The insulation requirements after EnEV2016
and EN1264 are applicable. The wall heating is allowed to be installed in non-bearing walls,
seperating walls in accordance with DIN 4102-4 and DIN 18183.

Installation
In the area of building joints the wall heating must be interrupted. Pipes must not cross joints!
Horizontal maender installation is the choice. Consider the maximum of 4 m width of the heating
area and 2 m in height. When using rail clips a maximum gap between the rails of 500 m on
walls and 333 mm on ceilings must be respected. When installing the wall system with the dry
installation plates the plates must be fixed with Mapei Ultrabond adhesive.
Max. Flow temperature:
Plaster board: <= 45°C
Gypsum fiber board: <= 50°C

Subsequent works
The pressure test is to be performed after the technical manual MAINFLOOR. Functional heating:
Fundamentally a functional test has to be performed. Always the requirements of the plaster
manufacturers are binding. A good practice is that the functionaly heating at cement plaster starts
the earliest 21 days after plastering. When using gypsum plaster or clay plaster the functional
heating can start after 7 days after plastering.
The plaster base shall be
• sufficiently riggid,
• not water proof, homogenous, similar absorbent,
• rough, dry, dirt free, dust free,
• free of bleedings,
• frost-free and it must be >5°C.

Normally plaster plates or gypsum fiber plates are beeing used for panelling in accordance
with DIN 18181. Those plates are normally 12.5 mm thick. When plastering or joint sealing the
manufacturers requirements are binding! The approved practices have to be met as well as the
static and weight bearing of the wall for mounting a wall heating.

53
For wall heating systems plaster with bonding agents of gypsum, gypsum/chalk, chalk/cement,
cement, clay or bonding agents according to DIN 18550 are suitable. The necessity of plaster
reinforcement is depending of the plaster system. Plaster reinforcements are inserts like mineral
fiber, plastic fibre, glas fibre mesh, wich are minimizing the cracking of the plaster.

Installation instructions

If required: fixing insulation. The heat demand must

be determined beforehand depending on the heating
load according to DIN EN 12831. As no standards exist
for wall heating systems with regard to testing, design,
layout and construction, thermal design/planning takes
place according to DIN EN 1264.

The dry construction element Alu VA 12.5 is fixed to the

wall using Mapei Ultrabond adhesive.

After installation of the dry construction elements, the

pipes are laid ascending in a meander pattern and
pressed into the groove. The flow pipe must be mounted
so that the water flows from the bottom up along the
wall.

Semi-finished laid wall heating prior to plastering.

Mesh must be placed over the installed wall heating

to support the plaster. Important to note is that pure
gypsum plaster cannot be used at temperatures above
50°C.

The laid pipes are connected to the manifold.

4.1 Basic principles
A modern heating system is made up of numerous individual components. A sophisticated control
system is an important building block. MAINCOR control systems are perfectly matched for quick
and easy installation and are of the highest quality.

The current room temperature is measured by the thermostat, which heats the room based on
the preset temperature. The thermostat is connected to the actuator via a terminal strip. When
the thermostat sends a „heat“ signal, the actuator is opened and heats the heating circuit(s). Each
terminal strip channel can control several actuators (heating circuits).

The connection between the thermostat and terminal strip can be wired or radio controlled. The
principle shown above applies to both systems.

Connection of the thermostat must take place by a trained and qualified person.

4.2 Control technology 4.0 leaflet
Wired
Room thermostat
Analogical

Via a signal onto the switch over contact the analgical thermostats logic is
switched. When in cooling mode the set temperature is exceeded the
output for the actuator will be switched on.

All analogical thermostats do have an input contact which will trigger a

temperature increment of 2k.

Digital - with display

Within the standard model the nominal temperatur will be set and the room
temperature will be permanently shown in the display. A symbol indicates
the status of the actuator output. A variety of comfort functions (day, night,
holiday min. max and so forth) can bet set. Further on the standard variant is
having an input contact which will trigger a temperature increment of 2k.

The Control variant of the thermostat is having additionally an integrated

timer which is freely programmable. It can switch between night and day
mode. Via an output this signal can be forwarded to additional thermostats
which then copy the mode. The temperature increment can be set.

When using the Control variant of the thermostat the heating and cooling
mode can be set via an external input signal.

An external temperature sensor can be connected to the Control variant of

the thermostat!

The connection between the thermostats and the terminal strip can be
realised with a cable (0.22 qmm - 1.5 qmm). The amount of wires depends on
the application:

regular
• 2 x Voltage supply: N and L
• 1 x Signal

optional
• 1x Temperature increment
• 1x Switch over Heating/Cooling

60 MAINCOR – Technical Manual MAINFLOOR 2018

Terminal strip

The grid connection cable must be ordered seperately (Europlug).

If a pump control or switch over between heating an colling is needed,

the StandardPlus variant has to be choosed. Also the connection of
external sensors (temperature limiter, hygrometer) is only possible with
the StandardPlus variant.

Both variants do have an input for temperature step down. Also there is
the possibility to have a signal from a time clock or from the room
thermostat Control which can choose the step down mode.

The terminal strip StandardPlus is existing as a 24V and 230V variant; the
standard terminal strip can be set to 24V or 230V by choosing the correct
fuse.

The variant with 6 zones / 230V can steer up to 15 MAINCOR actuators,

the variant with 10 zones / 230V can steer up to 18 MAINCOR actuators.
If the 24V variants are used the maximum power all actuators must not
exceed 24W.

General Information
The Actuator is a thermoelectric valve drive for opening and closing valves on heating circuit distributors of
concealed floor heating and cooling systems. Features, as a compact and modern casing, versions in
normally closed and normally open, valve adapter concept and an enhanced life time have been of
particular importance. This allows to fulfill the requirements within the bounds of technical reliability,
improved installation and a nearby noisless operation.

The valve drive mechanism of the Actuator uses a PTC resistor heated elastic element and a compression
spring. The wax element is heated by applying the operating voltage and moves the integrated ram. The
force generated by the movement is transferred on the valve lifter and thus opens and closes the valve.

Function Display
The function display of the Actuator (all-round display) allows identifying the operating condition at a
glance.

Normally Closed (valve closed)

The valve is opened steadily by the ram motion upon switching on the operating voltage and after expiry
of the dead time. The elastic element cools down after the operating voltage is cut and after expiry of the
hold time, the valve is closed evenly by the closing force of the compression spring. The closing force of the
compression spring is matched to the closing force of commercially available valves and keeps the valve
normally closed.

First-Open Function
In its delivery condition, the Actuator is normally open due to the First-Open function. This enables heating
operation during the carcass construction phase even when the electric wiring of the single room control is
not yet complete. When commissioning the system at a later date, the First-Open function is automatically
unlocked by applying the operating voltage (for more than 6 minutes) and the Actuator is fully operable.
Application
The Actuator serves for optimum control of valves on heating circuit distributors. Control is done by a room
thermostat with two-point output or pulse-width modulation.

General information about the Room Temperature Controller Standard / Control 4.0
The controller convinces with its flat construction, its simple timeless design, the generous, language-
neutral display and the comfortable knob operation. Intuitively, the operating concept guides every user
through the menu structure and allows a simple navigation with rotary-push mechanism. Functions as
operating state and holidays can be easily accessed. The integrated weekly timer allows the programming
of individual temperature profiles. This ensures the daily comfort and an energy-efficient heating / cooling
mode.

Smart Start-/Smart Stop

Another highlight is the Smart Start / Smart Stop technology. It recognizes by the environmental conditions
of the respective room, when must be heated to the exactly desired time to settle a feel-good temperature.
Only as little energy is used as required.

General information about the room temperature controller surface-mounted

In the heating and heating / cooling versions, the room temperature controller is surface-mounted and in
its functionality reduced to the max - temperature control with maximum control precision. The flat, modern
Design blends harmoniously into any interior design. The setpoint temperature is set via the comfortable
knob with easy-to-read scaling. Via the timer input the temperature is lowered in the absence of the user.

Heating and cooling

The main aim of the room temperature controllers heating/cooling is the temperature control of the heating
and cooling systems. The switching between modes can be done automatically via the input channel H/K.
If needed the cooling mode can be locked for a specific room (bath room) via a bridge between two dips.
The controller is having an integrated frost prevention function for the valves.

5.2 Flow meters
The flow meter is used for precise and
convenient adjustment of the required water
volumes in the heating circuits. Hydronic,
correctly balanced systems ensure optimal
energy distribution and economical operation in
accordance with the Energy Saving Ordinance.
With the flow meter, any qualified person can
adjust the correct water volume directly on-site
without investment in training and expensive
measuring instruments.

Use
The valve flow area can be varied by turning the black spindle, which simultaneously changes the
flow rate. The flow cannot be shut off completely with the flow meter. If the flow needs to be shut
off, this can take place with the control valve with blue cap on the return manifold. The required
flow rate can be adjusted by turning the valve. For hydronic balancing, the interaction of the flow
meters must be taken into account
and fine adjustment made. Flow rate in l/h

5.3 Hydronic balance with flow limiter
To ensure that heating circuits with different heat outputs or register length are only supplied
with the appropriate heating water volume, hydronic balancing (inductance) of the individual
heating circuits is necessary. This can take place simply and precisely with the flow limiter. For this
purpose, the has a scale from 1 to 10, which corresponds to 10 to 100%. This enables more precise
adjustment of Kv values from 0.025 to 0.986 m3/h.

Use
The MAINCOR flow limiter enables hydronic balancing to be carried out quickly and easily.
Balancing takes place on a percentage basis in relation to the longest heating circuit, which
corresponds to the setting „10“ (100%).

(10/K) x heating circuit length = flow limiter adjustment

K = longest heating circuit

5.4 Constant control kit
Assembly and adjustment instructions
The MAINFLOOR constant control kit is
for low-temperature surface heating 1
circuits designed and it is intended to 4
control the system temperature whereas
the heat source (boiler) of 60 - 90°C
should be stepped down to 30 - 50°C
or limited. It is important to ensure 2
that when using a constant control kit
the distribution box by one Level must
be bigger. The control station is for a
maximum transferable power of up to 4 3
10 kW (Δt10K) or a maximum flow rate
of 1.3 m³ / h (maximum floor heating
surface 150 m²).

• The mixing machine (1) is a proportional controller and works without auxiliary power. XP≈5K
• The temperature sensor (T-probe) is located directly in the mixed water channel and regulates
through injection of hot boiler water the set flow temperature.
• The circulation pump (2) sucks in the mixing water at the mixing machine and pushes with
the same pressure onto the heating circuit as well as the boiler circuit.
• The safety temperature limiter (3) switches off when the set flow temperature is exceeded.
Before installation apply the enclosed heat paste to the base of the valve and fasten it with
the belt.
Parts of the mixing station
• Mixing machine (1) Fixed value controller
• Circulation pump (2) Wilo-Yonos Para RS 25/6 RKA
• Safety temperature limiter (3) Factory setting 55°C
• Ball valves 1 „(4), red = supply, blue = return

Planning / Sizing
The control station is designed for a heating capacity of min. 3 kW (volume flow V ~ 0.2 m³) up
to max. 10 kW (maximum volume flow 1.3 m³ / h). (Max. Floor heating surface approx. 150 m2).
The circulating pump Wilo-Yonos Para RS 25/6, RKA has a max. Delivery height (differential
pressure) of 6 m, 6O kPA and a max. Volume flow of 3.3 m³ / h. The max. transferable heating
power of the control station results from a normal underfloor heating circuit a pressure of ≈3.5
m, 35 kPA at a max. Volume flow of ≈1.3 m³ / h. This max. Values are within the characteristic
field of the U-pump in operating mode ΔP = Constant. Control knob should be adjusted to ≈
3.5. (see Wilo publication)

78 MAINCOR – Technical Manual MAINFLOOR 2018

 Adjustment during commissioning
• Set the flow temperature of the mixing machine via the adjusting knob (1)
(factory setting 45°C)
• Set each heating circuit to the calculated volume flow, e.g. 1l/min.
• Set the circulating pump to the determined delivery height ΔP - constant (for example 3 m,
30 kPa) or in such a way that all flow rate indicators show the required (previously calculated)
flow rate; IMPORTANT: all heating circuits need to be open at the same time (first open
function of the actuators).

5.6 Screed additive
To increase the screed density and improve the flexural and compressive strength, an additive
must be used in order to establish a heating screed. Using this additive makes the screed easier
to process, as the plastification is increased and less water is required.

Use
Standard screed mixers are used for mixing the screed mortar. Once the first sand has been
placed in the machine, add MAINCOR screed additive followed by the binder and water; then
add the remaining sand. Mixing time minimum 3 minutes! Ensure or adjust to an earth-moist to
stiff-plastic consistency. Apply the screed mortar in the usual way, compact, level and smooth.
Smoothing with a machine is recommended. The curing screed must be protected from direct
sunlight and draught (for calcium sulphate screeds min. 48 hours, cement screed min. 72 hours)
The usual DIN/EN specifications and applicable ZDB notices must be observed.

These depend on both the binder and the site conditions.

Important information
The production of screed mortar must take place in compliance with the generally recognised
building regulations and our processing guidelines as well as the requirements of DIN 18560
„Floor screeds in building construction“ and DIN EN 13813 „Screed material“. Nominal
screed thicknesses must comply with the requirements of DIN 18560 „Floor screeds in building
construction“ and DIN 18202 „Tolerances in building construction“. Higher nominal screed
thicknesses can negatively influence the drying behaviour. The aggregate must be a sand of the
particle size group 0/8 according to EN 13139. Fines ≤0.063 mm category 1 of maximum 3%. The
grading curve should be constant between A8 and B8. This ensures the best results in terms of
drying and strength. The use of an excessive amount of sand or sand that is too fine as well as
too much water delays drying and reduces the screed strength. Any sedimentation layers and/
or sinter layers must be removed with suitable abrasive material so that the drying phase is not
hindered. For cement screeds, all test certificates are based on the use of CEM I cements. Other
additives must not be used.
