There are two types of installation methods for air-source ground-source heating: dry and wet systems.

Dry Laying Method:

To address the challenges of traditional wet installation methods, which include complex construction, lengthy construction periods, and difficult maintenance post-installation, the dry installation method has emerged. Instead of using concrete gravel layers to secure heating pipes, the dry floor heating installation employs custom plastic molds, with the pipes secured in the mold's protrusions, making the laying process extremely convenient. The flooring is then directly laid on the plastic molds, with hot water transferring heat to the floor via the air and mold, which in turn warms the air.

The tubes are directly inserted into specialized laying tools, eliminating the need for a filling layer. Installation is simple, with fast heat dissipation. The typical installation height is around 30-35mm, though the price is relatively high.

Wet-lay Method:

The wet installation method is a mature and cost-effective installation technique for hydronic underfloor heating, dominating the domestic underfloor heating market. The term "wet" refers to the process of encasing the underfloor heating pipes in concrete and then laying flooring materials like tiles on top of the concrete layer. This concrete layer not only serves to protect and secure the hydronic pipes but also acts as the primary conduit for heat transfer. The concrete layer ensures even heat distribution, minimizing localized overheating or cooling issues.

After pipeline laying, cement filling is required, with an installation height typically ranging from 70 to 80mm, good for heat storage, and low in construction costs.
