In this paper, a thin floor hot water heating structure was proposed according to the existing problems of floor heating technology, and was compared with two kinds of traditional wet radiant heating floor structure and prefabricated groove structure. The mathematical models of several heating floors were established. The temperature distribution, the surface heat flow and the downward heat loss were calculated by using the finite element method and the ANSYS software. The thermal performance of different heating floor was analyzed. The results can provide reference and basic for a further optimization and development of low temperature hot water heating floor.
