Abstract (en)

A floor module (1) comprising a walking surface (2) provided with apertures (20) for the air passage, and a supporting structure (3) intended to support the walking surface (2) and to keep it elevated from the ground are described. The module further comprises a pre-heating chamber (30) provided with an air inlet aperture (9) for drawing air from underneath the walking surface (2) and a heating device (10) for heating the drawn air; and further a heating chamber (31) provided with a second heating device (7) and in fluid communication with the pre-heating chamber (30) and with a space outside the module (1) through the apertures (20) of the walking surface (2), such to heat the air drawn from the pre-heating chamber (31) and to leave it out through the walking surface (2). The heating chamber (31) and pre-heating chamber (30) are delimited at the top by the bottom (22) of the walking surface (2), said bottom (22) being made of a material with a thermal conductivity greater than the portion (210) of the walking surface intended to be walked on. A method for heating a space by such floor module is also described.
