The FLOOR board acquires temperature and humidity values from the various sensors installed, processes them, and consequently commands the startup of both direct and mixed booster pumps serving the zones in heat demand (or cooling, in summer).
In addition to the pumps, the FLOOR board manages the radiant panel heads, as well as the opening valves, in fact keeping the flow and return temperatures of each circuit under control.
For radiant panel systems, in the cooling process, the FLOOR board then continuously monitors the dew point to prevent condensation, and activating the dehumidification system if necessary.
Black or white? Sensor Room
ROOM sensors are the temperature and humidity detectors of the HCC system. They are not simple room thermostats because they do not simply call for heat (or cool) when room conditions deviate too far from the set value.
In fact, these boards, in addition to constantly collecting temperature and humidity, communicate with central intelligence, and they do so with a specific name, specific to each room of a certain area, a certain use, and consequently a specific heat (or cool) demand.
This is not a matter of philosophy, but of maximum efficiency, since in this way HCC is able to determine instant by instant what power should be required from the heat pump, thus going instant by instant to balance the operating regime to actual needs. This balance ensures that the heat pump always operates at the point of maximum efficiency, minimizing electrical consumption.
With photovoltaic panels producing energy for the home, thanks to ROOM boards, HCC can also decide to store energy in the form of heat during peak sunshine periods, ensuring full utilization of both systems, and thus reducing the need for heat pump operation outside these periods.
