How to choose a radiator Typically, this is for several reasons. Firstly, the technical condition of the batteries have reached a venerable age, is poor. Secondly, batteries and old-style long hopelessly obsolete. It is hard to imagine that a museum piece, which weighs more than a dozen pounds, in the interior of modern apartment. But do not pick up a modern radiator, based only on the aesthetic reasons.
Its technical parameters, such as labor and the maximum pressure to meet the performance of your heating system. Obtain this information, you can contact the local ECD. In inner-city apartments, depending on the type of house and year of construction, working pressure may be from 4 to 10 atmospheres. It should be borne in mind that during the heating season testing, they check for leaks. At the same time applied pressure, at least one and a half times the working. For those who use heating system, the problems described above are irrelevant. A feature of such systems is small, with small amplitude vibration, pressure.
For this option, you select a heatsink with a working pressure of six atmospheres, will have a twofold safety margin. In general sale now are four types of radiators in different constructive and has performed in various price categories: 1. Aluminum radiators. Consist of prefabricated units, or partitions. This design decision allows the device to get exactly the specified heating capacity. Price indicated in the section: the more sections, so it is higher. Feature of the radiators of this type is rapid heating and rapid cooling. 2. Panel radiators. Heat-conducting element in such devices are steel plates located between the hollow panels, which circulates hot water. Power output is regulated by increasing or decreasing the number of panels. Maximum power – three of the radiator paneli.Razmery standard and does not depend on the number of panels. At a low price it has good heat transfer performance. 3. Cast iron radiators. Compared to other variants of this type of radiators has a higher corrosion resistance. Although the device and has a modern design, but the disadvantages of older models of iron in it remained unchanged. This fragility and the need to constantly update coming into disrepair layer paint. 4. Tubular radiators. Made of the so-called bimetal. They resemble the design of aluminum radiators, but they differ from past use in the construction of pipes of the highest rates of stali.Obladayut quality of thermal radiation and reliability in operation. Of all types of radiators on the market, pipe – the most expensive. When you have selected your type of radiator, you will need to calculate heating power required. This can be done by a simple formula: in a typical pre-fabricated house, with ceiling height of 3 meters, to heat a room with one outer wall and a standard window, one square meter we need 100 watts of power. To determine the need for a comfortable heat capacity to 100 W multiplied by the area of your room.
