Alternative radiant heating system

As an alternative to such “antiquated” method is currently used by modern heat exchangers, which with the help of automation can increase or decrease the “degree of incandescence in the heating system, depending on outside air temperature.

If the modernization level of the house while not feasible, then come to the aid radiator thermostats, such as brand Danfoss (producer of energy efficient equipment for radiant heating and radiant heating of buildings).

These devices are installed on the pipe through which coolant enters the radiator, making it possible to maintain the temperature within the range from +6 to +26 ° C.

In stores now sold many models of radiators. On what to choose, from what criteria to proceed with the purchase?

For the ordinary consumer’s entire heating system is “closed” on the radiator. Choose these devices should be on two main parameters:
# Heat transfer plates
# And the ability to withstand high pressure.

The most common at present:
# Cast iron
# Aluminum
# And bimetal radiators.

Batteries made of cast iron can withstand high pressure, but are low emissivity and poorly exposed adjustment.

Aluminum, by contrast, is gaining in popularity precisely because of its high heat transfer: the metal heats up quickly and cools rapidly. In addition, heaters of this material more quickly react to a given iron temperature control parameters.

Modern aluminum battery well and can withstand pressure shocks. And to protect them from corrosion must attach aluminum radiators for heating pipeline steel with galvanized or cast iron reducers.

Bimetal radiators have aluminum and steel tube through which coolant moves. As with devices made of aluminum, they have a high heat transfer, get a better corrosion resistance and ability to withstand great pressure.
