Abstract

 This paper reviews the thermal performance of wet and dry radiant floor heating systems. Wet systems provide stable operation but suffer from high thermal inertia, while lightweight dry systems offer significantly faster heating and cooling response. The study summarizes research findings on heat transfer behavior, pipe installation methods, and the influence of radiant sheet materials on surface temperature distribution. The review highlights the need for further optimization of lightweight configurations to improve uniformity and overall energy performance.
