Today, a huge abundance of heating devices is presented, allowing both the premises of small volume and industrial premises. Such types of heaters are used both in personal houses and in warehouses. But when choosing a heating device for a city apartment, which provides for urban heating, you can think about choosing a radiator – the benefit will cost to buy such a device cheap, and it will serve quite long. This is justified by the fact that the world provides a two -pipe heating system (one pipe is brought to the radiator by one pipe, the other is diverted). In the Russian Federation, a one -pipe heating system is predominant, with an alternate connection of devices. Similar technological features involve the overstated requirements for the wear resistance of radiators, their technical features and a huge supply of strength.
In the current market, radiators are distinguished by 5 main types of these devices that differ both in design and in production and design solutions.
Sectional radiators are a device consisting of sections. Such radiators are good in that two “regimes” combine in their own work – radiation and convection, which allows you to heat the rooms of huge sizes. In addition, they fit into the inner decorative place of the house without special efforts – such radiators are placed in special niches or piers and virtually inconspicuous. The material from which such radiators are made is directly influenced by both the quality of the device, on the quality of heating, and on decorative, its external features. Probably everyone from youth is remembered by large terrible batteries, which were unrealistic to change or disguise. These are well -known cast iron radiators. The appearance of such devices was compensated by their technical properties: the service life of metal radiators is 50 years, they withstand the pressure of 6-8 atmospheres, provide a wide heating area, and not counting it, they are immune to the quality of the media, which makes them one of the best options for use in apartments. It is also necessary to note the fact that, although the technical characteristics of these devices are beautiful and over time only increases, their design has changed in the best way. Duralic radiators are performed using casting or pressing duralumin alloys. The distinctive features of such models are physical ease, they do not take up enough space, represent wide abilities for design solutions, and not counting it, increase air convection, which makes it possible to avoid settlement of dust. In addition, thanks to the properties of the material, such radiators are able to rapidly change the temperature of the room when using automatic heating systems. The only huge shortage of such radiators is their susceptibility to the quality of the coolant (water) – radiators made of aluminum and its alloys are subject to corrosion. Bimetallic sectional radiators are now presented with a good option not only for apartments, and for personal suburban houses. They are made of steel and aluminum, therefore their wear resistance increases (such radiators are able to withstand pressure up to 170 atmospheres) and heat production. These models are beautiful and ordinary when installing.
Convector type radiators work due to the principle of convection. The convectors are a casing in which the heating element is hidden – an iron or copper tube of a serpentine or straight form. Such types of heaters are impeccable for houses with the highest ceilings. They withstand enormous pressure, resistant to corrosion, not counting that it is unrealistic to get burned: a protective casing helps out. The convector -type radiators are decorative and inconspicuous: the design is installed, usually, either on the floor, or the bottom of the wall – in this case, the design recalls the baseboard.
