This question is a little vague, but think about it this way. When someone designs your system, they will review different layouts AND different design temperatures in order to achieve a balanced system. Spead the tubes further apart and you may need to increse the temp; closer could use lower temp, etc.

In theory there will be a max temp, but most radiant systems use a lower temp for normal use.

Hi jim
thanks for the help my question was actualy can I run a supply temp. to the floor with 190°F what the wood furnace supplys or will this crack the floor. I just want to know what temp. will damage the concret.

You can run any temp you want within the concrete, however few systems run at that high a temp, most seem to run at 140, although they can be hotter when needed.

Also keep in mind your floor covering affects not only the heat output, but the actual longevity of the flooring material. Some mfg floors do not like, read...are not warranteed....for high temp floor heat systems.
