Compares the stability of indoor air temperature and floor surface temperature, condensation occurred frequency of radiant floor cooling system under different control types including on-off bang-bang control, variable flow control and outdoor reset with indoor temperature feedback control. The results show that the lowest supply water temperature of outdoor reset control is 15 ℃, and the compensation rate of outdoor temperature is 0.25; in the early operation time, the stability of indoor air temperature of on-off bang-bang control is superior to other control types, as time going on, the stability of indoor air temperature of outdoor reset with indoor temperature feedback control comes better; and in the stability of floor surface temperature, the outdoor reset with indoor temperature feedback control is better than water flow control except the early operation time, and its anti-condensation capacity and thermal comfort is superior to those with on-off bang-bang control and variable flow control.
