Advantages and disadvantages of vertical heating radiators

Installation

Vertical batteries must be installed on reinforced walls, otherwise, due to the large weight, the structure will simply fall, tearing out part of the wall. Even before the installation stage, you should consider ways to regulate thermal processes. Typically, valves and taps mounted on the inlet pipes are used for this. They will help to stop the flow of coolant in the event of an accident.

It is also necessary to take care of installing a valve with which air is released from the batteries. Such measures help to avoid the formation of air locks in the channels and increase the efficiency of radiators. It is advisable to take care of all I / O devices at the installation stage, since additions and alterations to an already installed system are expensive.

In vertical batteries, a bottom connection is usually used, and all mounting nodes are hidden in a wall or a special box. Lateral connection is used much less often. Its main disadvantage is the incomplete removal of the coolant from the pipes (it can remain there even in the summer), which is unfavorable for the condition of the radiator.

Radiators are connected to the heating system in the same way as a typical connection diagram. For this, steel, plastic and metal-plastic pipes can be used.

Step-by-step installation of vertical radiators is as follows:

• The kit is being assembled, including the installation of gaskets, plugs, thermostatic and shutoff valves.
• The Mayevsky valve is mounted.
• Marking of places of fastening of brackets is carried out.
• Supports are installed.
• A radiator is hung on the brackets, the installation accuracy is re-checked.
• Batteries are connected according to the diagram.

Skirting heating convectors

This type of radiator is used extremely rarely and is not popular. They are attached to the wall, have a small height (only 20-25 cm) and depth (only 10 cm).

Advantages of skirting convectors:

• high efficiency - fuel for heating is required less than 40%;
• there is protection against overheating;
• installation is carried out without any professional skills;
• high maintainability;
• There is a thermostat as standard.

Disadvantages of skirting convectors:

• only a specialist can install this heating system - certain professional skills will be required;
• high price;
• the convectors are too close to the wall - the finish will be damaged at the points of contact.

Steel heating radiators

Panel steel radiators

Such radiators are also called convectors, they have a high efficiency - up to 75%. Inside the radiators there is one or more steel heating panels and convector fins.

The device of a steel panel radiator.

Panel radiators are the most budgetary solution for your own home and, therefore, are the most common in autonomous heating systems. Depending on the number of heating panels and convection fins, the following types of water heating radiators of panel design are distinguished: 10, 11, 20, 21, 22, 30, 33.

Manufacturers: These are mainly European countries - Germany (Buderus and Kermi), Czech Republic (Korado), Italy (DeLonghi), Finland (PURMO). Their prices are not high, so Russian manufacturers are not very strongly represented in this market.

+ Pros:

• Inertia is low, heat transfer is excellent.
• The volume of the coolant is small, energy consumption is small.
• These radiators are environmentally friendly and harmless, so they can be used in hospitals, schools and kindergartens.
• Extremely low price.

- Minuses:

• If water is drained from the heating system, then when oxygen comes into contact with the walls of the radiator, corrosion begins to form.
• Water hammer is dangerous for steel radiators. Therefore, they cannot be used in multi-storey buildings.
• Due to convection, drafts and fine dust may be raised.

Tubular steel radiators

The design of the radiator is a structure made of steel pipes through which hot water passes. The production of such devices is more expensive than panel ones, and therefore their price is higher.

There are many design options - this is a real feast for the designer's imagination.

Manufacturers:

Of the European producing countries, Germany (Kermi, Charleston, Zehnder Charleston, Arbonia) and Italy (Israp Tesi) can be mentioned. Domestic devices manufactured by the KZTO plant (Kimry) are distinguished by a working pressure of up to 15 bar. And the models "RS" and "Harmony" are also protected from corrosion by a polymer coating.

Pros and cons: These radiators, like panel radiators, have advantages and disadvantages inherent in steel products. However, in terms of pressure, they have better indicators (this is a plus), and their price is significantly higher (this is a minus).

Main characteristics:

• Pressure (working) - an average of 6-10 bar (for panel radiators) and 8-15 bar (for tubular radiators).
• Thermal power (total) - 1200-1600 watts.
• Hot water temperature (maximum) - 110-120 degrees.
• pH of water - 8.3-9.5.

More warmth

Vertical heating radiators are the ideal solution for houses and apartments with high ceilings. Ordinary batteries with heating of such a space may simply not be able to cope. Of course, there is an option to install several radiators, but then the question of saving space will arise. A large number of them can become a serious obstacle when placing furniture, and the designer will have to break his head well. Vertical radiators are the perfect solution. They take up little space and heat a large area.One or two will be enough to fully heat a huge room.

How to determine the number of radiators?

The main indicator when choosing one or another version of a vertical heating battery should be the calculation of the heated room, in the case of a standard closed room, for example, a room or room volume when installed in a winter garden or a space where a second light is arranged.

An approximate calculation of the required power of the device can be easily calculated using as a starting point the established figure of 41 W of thermal power for heating 1 sq. meters of the room.

Such a standard indicator is recommended for rooms that are not equipped with additional thermal insulation and without modern double-glazed windows. And you can find out the power of the selected devices from the technical documentation, it must indicate the thermal power in watts. Thus, by dividing the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room by the standard indicator, you can calculate the required power of the device.

The exact data on the calculation of the installation of such a device can also be found in the installation instructions or the catalog of branded products.

Tips

Before installing aluminum systems, it is recommended to rinse them, the main thing is not to use alkali for this. The wall on which the battery is hung is additionally reinforced. In addition, it is necessary to additionally finish it with a refractory material, for example, apply special plaster. This type of finish will increase the fire resistance of the surface, but will not increase its thickness.

The attachment points must be evenly distributed over the entire surface of the battery, be strong, free of defects and damage.Oil models can only be mounted in places where the risk of fire is minimized. Such systems do not endure mechanical damage, so it is better to protect them with a special mesh.

See the next video for more details.

Blitz Tips

Vertical batteries made of polished stainless steel require constant surface care. Even the smallest mark or traces of water drip on the surface create a negative impression. For maintenance, it is enough to use a neutral detergent for shiny surfaces and a soft cloth.

The difference in the temperature of such a radiator at the top of the device and at the bottom of it sometimes reaches 5-7 degrees Celsius. Such a temperature drop indicates good heat dissipation and excellent battery performance. To improve the operation of such a device and significantly save on payment for consumed resources, the installation of a thermostat can be installed, which allows you to regulate the temperature of the coolant.

It is useful to know that, unlike standard radiators made of aluminum casting, which has a wall thickness of only 1, vertical registers have a wall thickness increased to 2 mm, which significantly increases their service life.

To give the interior more dynamism, a flat vertical battery can be decorated not only with an interior sticker, but also by ordering a special metal grid with a perforated pattern. Such an overlay will not change the heat transfer of the radiator, but will give the room a new look.

Beam wiring of the heating system: elements and features

Such a heating system as radiant is ideal for multi-storey buildings that have many apartments.This heating system reduces energy consumption and increases the efficiency of the heater. The principle of operation of such a system is very simple, but has some features. For example, if there are only a few floors in the house, then the collector must be installed on all floors, in addition, it must be taken into account that there is an option to install several collectors at once, and the heating system piping itself already comes from them.

We also note that this system will be effective only if the house has good insulation and does not have a large heat loss. If the house is insulated inside and out, then there will be no problems with the efficiency of radiant heating. And if, on the contrary, the house is not insulated on either side, then all the heat received will be distributed only to window panels, floors and walls. The radiant system has a complex design, which includes basic and additional elements, they are necessary for the implementation of a high-quality heating system.

The main components are 4 elements:

One of the main elements is considered to be a boiler

From it, heat is supplied through the heating system and radiators.
An equally important part of such a system is the pump. It circulates the coolant through the heating system and creates pressure in it. Such a pump maintains a comfortable temperature in the room and guarantees the efficiency of the entire system.
The comb, popularly the collector, is also the main part in the radiant heating system

This component of radiant heating, which evenly distributes the heat supply throughout the house.
A closet is a place where all the wiring elements are hidden. A collector is installed in such a cabinet, pipes and fittings are hidden.It has a very simple design, but despite this, it is very functional and practical. It can be located both outside and inside the walls.

Such a pump maintains a comfortable temperature in the room and guarantees the efficiency of the entire system.
The comb, popularly the collector, is also the main part in the radiant heating system. This component of radiant heating, which evenly distributes the heat supply throughout the house.
A closet is a place where all the wiring elements are hidden. A collector is installed in such a cabinet, pipes and fittings are hidden. It has a very simple design, but despite this, it is very functional and practical. It can be located both outside and inside the walls.

Each of the components plays a specific role. The absence of one of them makes the heating process impossible.

In the case of comparing the radiant system with conventional systems that are known to everyone today, the radiant system has several times more advantages than the old generation heating systems.

Main advantages:

• Such a system is not visible, and all components and pipes are hidden and do not spoil the interior of the room;
• It has no connections between the heating boiler and the collector, which means that it has no weak points;
• Installation of the heating system can be done on your own, and this saves money and at the same time the quality of the work performed is optimal;
• The system works stably and this is what eliminates water hammer and failure of the heating system;
• If it is necessary to repair any part of the system, there is no need to turn off the entire system, since the repair of such a system is not difficult and does not require structural destruction or complex installation sites;
• Affordable pricing and easy installation.

There is also one major drawback. Such a disadvantage is that the systems of this heating have an individual design, mainly this detail concerns their own houses. Because of this, the cost may increase or decrease. And also, not everyone can cope with the installation and configuration, such a system, such people will have to turn to specialists and, of course, they will have to pay for it.

It is not advisable to install such a heating system in one-story private houses that have less than three rooms.

Copper radiators

sales leader

Copper radiators work on the principle:

• Radiation - at the same time, the darker the color of the battery itself, the more intense the radiation.
• Convection is heat transfer.
• Thermal conductivity - transfers heat from heated to less heated areas of the battery.

Advantages of copper radiators:

• The best indicator in terms of thermal conductivity is on average 5 times more efficient than other types of radiators.
• Copper is an environmentally friendly material, it does not allow harmful bacteria to multiply.
• Strength and durability. The service life of a copper radiator is 50 years (subject to the necessary operating rules).
• Complete resistance to any chemical reactions, no corrosion.

Radiators are partly made of copper and aluminum alloy, they are also effective, but more vulnerable, which reduces the service life. The price of copper and aluminum batteries is much lower.

• Lateral connection - if installed incorrectly, there is a risk of reducing the efficiency of heat transfer by an average of 5%.
• Bottom connection.
• diagonal connection.
• Serial and parallel connection.

In order for the room to be comfortable at any time of the year, it is necessary to provide heat in it. For this purpose, manufacturers of heat engineering have now designed many devices that allow you to create coziness and a comfortable microclimate for life and work. The range of heat equipment on the market is so extensive that it is difficult to understand all this diversity.

Not so long ago, a new type of heating appeared, which attracted the attention of the buyer with many advantages, these are wall-mounted electric batteries. What are they and what to expect from them, we understand all the subtleties and details

Radiator classifications

Today, along with water vertical radiators built into central or autonomous heating systems, there are oil and electric heaters. Gas, being the most affordable energy source, makes it possible to widely distribute water heaters made of steel, aluminum, and cast iron. Metal radiators quickly heat up and give off their thermal energy to the surrounding space.

If there is no gas, or it becomes difficult to connect an additional radiator to the system, and there is not enough heat, electric vertical radiators come to the rescue. Such devices are easy to operate, easy to install, it is possible to set the required temperature. The disadvantage of electric radiators is the high price of the energy carrier, which leads to significant financial costs even with the strictest economy. Therefore, water radiators are currently the most widely used.

Popular radiator models

These convectors, also called warm skirting boards, are quite low. Only 20 or 25 cm. And their depth is even less - 10 cm. They have not yet taken root in our country, but in America they are very popular. They are attached to the wall.

+ Pros:

• Saving fuel for heating - up to 40 percent.
• Existence of temperature regulators, protection against an overheat.
• Quick installation, easy repair.

Now, having learned about the types and advantages of different types of heating radiators, you can choose the right radiators more confidently and correctly.

Pros and cons

To be honest, you should not expect any special miracles from vertical radiators.They have all the advantages and disadvantages of conventional radiators, and yet there are a number of advantages:

1. A large assortment. Radiators can differ not only in the color palette of execution, but also in their configuration. They can be round, wavy, curved and others.
2. Compactness. The vertical radiator, by reducing its length, frees up the wall for other interior items, including those that are afraid of high temperatures, if space is left for them below.
3. Thoughtful fasteners. The decorativeness of these heating devices requires inconspicuous fasteners. And the manufacturer took care of it.
4. Ease of installation. Installing a radiator does not require much professionalism, and everyone can do it, most importantly, follow the developed connection scheme.
5. Wall mounting. Sometimes it is not possible to install horizontal radiators under the windows or along the wall, they will take up a lot of space, and there will be nowhere to put a sofa or bed, vertical radiators will be a great way out.
6. heat transfer area. On the wall, you can easily find a place for a large radiator. It can be installed under the ceiling with sufficient system pressure.

The disadvantages of vertical radiators come from their parameters.

1. The heat transfer of a high battery will be slightly lower than a horizontal one, the same in area. This is because heat transfer depends on the temperature difference between the coolant and the room air. The air is warmer at the top, so the top of the heatsink will give off less heat, generally reducing the heat dissipation of the heatsink.
2. Due to the non-standard shape, radiators will be more expensive compared to the same horizontal batteries.
3. Most of the heat will accumulate uselessly under the ceiling, so it is better to place vertical radiators right next to the floor.

Other types of radiators

The most traditional and familiar to most Russians are cast-iron radiators. Classic model MS-140.

The positive characteristics include the following factors:

• high heat-conducting properties of cast iron;
• neutrality to all types of coolant;
• ability to withstand high network pressure;
• low cost;
• the ability to work even with contaminated coolant or with increased aggressiveness.

The negative characteristics include the following points:

• low resistance to hydraulic shocks;
• unattractive design;
• time-consuming and expensive installation;
• high thermal inertia.

In addition to cast-iron radiators of domestic production, heating devices from Belarus, the Czech Republic, Spain and Italy are widely represented on the market.

Aluminum extrusion and cast radiators

Advantages:

• beautiful appearance;
• high heat transfer;
• a light weight;
• operating pressure from 10 to 30 atmospheres, which allows them to be used in the construction of urban buildings.

Flaws:

• very sensitive to the acidity of the coolant and its chemical composition;
• the ability to gas formation, in other words - to create air jams.

Therefore, if the installation of aluminum radiators is initially planned, then the heating system must be designed in such a way that automatic air discharge occurs. If aluminum radiators are integrated into an already operating heating system, then each heater will have to be equipped with an air release valve.

Two types are produced:

• cast, where each section is a separately cast element
• extrusion, in which each section consists of three elements interconnected mechanically.

The market mainly presents aluminum radiators made in Italy by Alux and Rovall.

Bimetal radiators

The use of a steel core made it possible to significantly increase the life of the heater, and the aluminum shell gives it a presentable appearance. The ability to withstand high operating pressure has allowed the use of bimetallic radiators in all areas of industrial and civil construction. The most famous brands in Russia are Global, Rovall (Italy) and SIRARS.

Installation Features

What to consider during installation

For effective space heating, a number of simple requirements must be observed during installation:

• Given the significant size and weight of the device, it must be fixed to load-bearing walls or solid interior partitions, reinforcing them if necessary.
• It is advisable to install a jumper (bypass) with a shut-off valve, a thermostatic valve and shut-off valves on the pipelines for connecting each radiator, allowing you to efficiently and economically control the operation of the heater.
• An air vent (Maevsky tap) must be installed in the upper part of the battery, while it would be preferable to install an automatic air vent valve.
• For a more aesthetic appearance, it is better to purchase radiators with a bottom connection that hides the pipes connected to the battery.
• Lateral or diagonal connection should be made if it is possible to conduct hidden pipe wiring in the walls.
• When connected to a central heating system, it is undesirable to use panel-type radiators that are sensitive to sudden changes in operating pressure.
• For connection, you can use almost any type of pipes for heating. But it is better to give preference to plastic pipes (metal-plastic, polypropylene) - they are easy to install, do not require welding, they are reliable and durable in operation.
• It is highly undesirable to connect copper piping to aluminum radiators, as this causes rooted oxidation and destruction of such connections (more on the characteristics of aluminum).

Types of heating radiators for a private house

Only in the last few decades, heating batteries have evolved from simple bulky cast-iron sections to efficient convection devices, where control is carried out by complex electronic systems. Considering household appliances, it is convenient to divide them according to the materials from which the heat transfer surfaces are made into the following types:

• Cast iron multi-section batteries;
• Heaters made of welded steel sheets of various thicknesses;
• Bimetallic devices using two types of metals, one of which is aluminum;
• Devices made of aluminum alloys;
• Copper heaters;
• Plastic elements for systems where the temperature of the heat transfer fluid does not exceed 80 degrees.

Structurally, radiators are divided into:

• sectional;
• tubular;
• panel;
• lamellar.

For special conditions, corner appliances, skirting radiators or convection devices are developed for installation in interior details (window sills, doorways, stairs, floors). Each type of device has its pros and cons.

Cast iron radiators

Cast iron sections have long been included in the interiors of both most private houses and apartments in high-rise buildings. They are resistant to corrosion and withstand pressures up to 18 atmospheres, are compatible with other materials and have a service life of up to 30 years.

The disadvantages include bulkiness and a large internal volume of the coolant. Many homeowners, however, with the right paint job, give a second life to cast iron radiators, creating interesting retro options.

Steel heating appliances

Steel radiators, as a rule, are not expensive to manufacture, have low inertia and light weight. Most often, manufacturers produce steel radiators of certain sizes, allowing you to select the required parameters for performance and the number of elements.

All surfaces are painted using innovative technologies that reduce the thickness of the paint to increase heat transfer, while maintaining high protective properties. The main disadvantage of steel devices is low corrosion resistance, leading to a relatively short service life of about ten years.

Bimetal radiators

Bimetallic devices are a technological design that combines the excellent heat-conducting properties of aluminum and the strength of steel. They are able to withstand pressure from 18 to 40 atmospheres, which is more than enough in individual heating systems.

There are two types of bimetallic batteries: with an all-steel inner core, or with only steel vertical channels. In the first case, the radiators are more durable, in the second they heat up faster and are cheaper. The main disadvantage is only the high price of the device.

Aluminum radiators

Aluminum alloy batteries have excellent thermal conductivity and light weight. They serve up to 15 years, and perfectly heat the premises both by thermal radiation and convection. On sale you can devices produced by casting, or by combining vertical aluminum panels with a silumin (alloy of aluminum and silicon) collector. In the second case, the devices are cheaper, however, the sections are connected without the possibility of adding. For cast radiators, you can dial any number of sections.

Copper radiators

Copper thermoblocks are much less common due to their high price. However, those who find funds for copper products receive excellent heat transfer with high resistance to aggressive environments. Due to the formation of a stable oxide film, they practically do not corrode and serve up to 50 years.

plastic radiators

Plastic radiators are the most budgetary type of devices. They are fairly easy to install and light weight. Despite their low price, they are not widely used in individual heating systems due to the low heat transfer coefficient, and, as a result, low efficiency.

Which batteries to choose for a private house can be decided only after all the calculations have been made, and also based on financial capabilities. When choosing purely technical parameters, their appearance is of great importance.For modern interiors, various models of vertical devices have been developed, and the range of shapes, sizes and colors is truly great. Convectors with forced air circulation have become quite popular, providing rapid heating of buildings with a large glazing area, or installed on the verandas of private houses.

Installation of aluminum heating radiators

Use a spirit level when installing the battery. The radiator must be installed strictly horizontally.

Installation of aluminum heating radiators does not cause any difficulties. For their connection, plastic pipes are most often used that can withstand high pressure and high temperature. The heating system can be one-pipe or two-pipe, but you need to remember that in a one-pipe system and with a lower connection, heat transfer will decrease. The radiators are fixed with brackets.

The process of installing batteries is carried out in several stages:

1. Brackets and radiators are attached.
2. Radiators are connected to pipes through taps or thermostatic valves.
3. Air vents are installed.

In conclusion, we check the tightness of the connections - they must be made with high quality in order to exclude possible leaks. The final check is carried out when the heating system is filled with coolant.

Features of radiators

interesting design

• heating method;
• material of manufacture;
• strengthening method;
• radiation method.

If you need to connect a vertical battery to a room with central heating, then you need to know that many factors affect their efficiency:

1. Scheme of connection to the system (one- or two-pipe). The single-pipe scheme is less economical in terms of coolant consumption, does not provide the ability to flexibly adjust the system, but it requires lower costs for various materials and is easy to install.
2. Water supply in the system: lower, upper, mixed.
3. Types of connection to the central highway: lateral, diagonal, lower. The most effective is the diagonal connection, when the input is at the top and the output is at the bottom.
4. The place of installation of the radiator in the heating system in relation to the initial supply of the coolant: direct-flow or dead-end. The closer to the beginning, the more efficient the radiator.

The common advantages of vertical water radiators are their compactness, a wide range of fasteners, fast heating, ease of installation and maintenance.

It should be noted that the installation of vertical water batteries is a rather difficult procedure that requires special experience and knowledge. Incorrect connection of radiators to the heating system can adversely affect their operation, reduce heat transfer

It is important to place it just above the floor so that the warm air rises, and don't forget to insulate the part of the wall where the radiator will be fixed to to reduce heat loss.

But the installation of electric vertical radiators does not require special professional qualifications, they can be easily mounted on the wall. Depending on the material used, vertical radiators can serve as a heated towel rail and interior decoration at the same time. There are radiators that additionally perform the function of a mirror in the hallway.
