Currently, the choice of heating radiators has become a very relevant task for residents of apartment buildings. Old cast -iron batteries are not able to cope with the task that is assigned to them. Easier to replace obsolete systems with newer devices. The alternative in solving this problem was the use of bimetallic radiators.
One of the main disadvantages of such radiators is the price. In comparison with simple aluminum radiators, the cost of bimetal heating radiators above.
Features of the installation process
The installation of such radiators is preferable in buildings with a centralized heating system. Remember that before the installation of any heating system, it is necessary to check its integrity. Air is released from the radiator filled with water. Creates a pressure approximately equal to pressure in the central urban heating system. If a leak occurs in the process, it is eliminated.
An important point is the correct calculation of the right number of bimetallic radiator sections. Such a calculation is carried out, taking into account many parameters of the room: heated area, ceiling height, heat transfer of radiator sections, number of windows, etc.D. In order not to make a mistake in complex calculations, it is better to contact consultants. Modern heating systems can be painted independently. Radiators should be painted with disconnected heating. Consider the fact that the radiator painted in dark tones gives heat better. Usually paint radiators no more than once every 10 years.
Advantages of bimetallic radiators
Before buying a bimetallic radiator, let’s summarize and recall the advantages of such batteries again. The manager of the Kyiv online store of heating systems Remarm – Konovalenko Sergey will tell us about the advantages.
– Have high strength and are not afraid of hydraulic boards;
– Able to withstand pressure in the system up to 50 atmospheres;
– Have excellent heat transfer thanks to the aluminum case;
– Resistant to internal corrosion due to the use of steel core;
– Long service life (from 20 to 50 years);
– Quick heating;
– Beautiful appearance.
“We recommend bimetal radiators to our customers, they are more expensive than aluminum, but the life of such products is much more,” says Sergey. On average, they will last 2 times longer than aluminum analogues. Given the fact that the price of such radiators is only 15% -20% more-the savings in the future will be significant. The creation of a heating system based on bimetallic radiators is a reasonable investment of money in your own comfort and a guarantee of a warm atmosphere in the house for many years.
