Engineering systems are the most difficult to design nodes in any home. Here you need to consider every little thing and not lose sight of any factor. For example, the compatibility of heating radiators with the system itself. Consider in detail what to choose for individual heating in the apartment.
Features of the choice of radiators depending on the type of heating
An apartment with autonomous heating - this means that it has its own boiler. If the heater serves a whole house, or several, then this is no longer individual heating. Such a fundamental difference lies in the pressure exerted on the entire system. That is, an autonomous boiler does not need to supply energy under pressure to heat the living area, when in an apartment building it is simply necessary.
Because of this difference, there is a need to choose heating radiators specifically for an individual heating system. Aluminum radiators advertised as the best in the field of heat transfer - the most unfortunate option for an autonomous heating system for some reasons:
- Aluminum radiators are sensitive to the coolant - they have low corrosion resistance, and it is precisely in high-rise buildings that water exposes pipes to rusty deposits due to the chemicals contained in them;
- Aluminum quickly heats up and also cools quickly - i.e. all the time the autonomous heating system will work according to a certain pattern –thermostat is inserted, the boiler prepares coolant, aluminum radiator quickly warmed up to the desired temperature, which was transmitted to the surrounding air, the boiler turned off, after a while the aluminum radiator has cooled down. And again, everything in a circle.
From which we can conclude that for apartments with individual heating, aluminum radiators are suitable only if you do not live in it permanently. Cast iron radiators are another thing - they heat up for a long time, but they also give off heat to the air for a long time. In addition, they are more durable than aluminum radiators.
In the case of a gas boiler, steel batteries are recommended, as they are characterized by higher heat dissipation. Moreover, it is precisely among a wide range of steel batteries that you can choose different in area and thickness. Yes, and modern steel radiators look much more attractive than cast-iron.
Bimetal radiators are simply designed for high pressure systems. Although they can be used with any type of heating. Then the question arises - why overpay if there is a more profitable alternative?
