With the end of the heating season, there is often a need for a total revision of the entire heating system. And if ruptures, streaks or even fistulas are found in it, then there will be a high probability that in the upcoming heating season, all these shortcomings will lead to a full-scale accident.
The weak points in any heating system are still pipes and heating radiators. If now everything is solved quite simply with pipes - plastic heating pipes are installed, then the situation with heating radiators is somewhat more complicated.
The most popular are still cast iron radiators, which have more advantages than disadvantages. Such radiators are distinguished by a reasonable price, good wall thickness (2.0-2.5 mm), the ability to serve for several decades and are easy to install. This fact is quite understandable, since in the manufacture of cast iron radiators, good old technology is used, in which the main ingredient is gray cast iron. This material has recently become a classic. If steel corrodes at an average rate of 0.1 mm per year, and the life of aluminum registers is no more than 10-12 years, then cast iron radiators can last more than 30-40 years, which is already a record. True, this figure is relevant for thick-walled cast-iron radiators. Solid wall thickness allows to withstand the coolant pressure even up to the level of 8-10 atm.
But the thicker the walls are, the worse the heat transfer goes. And already a cast-iron radiator cannot give off heat in the most highly efficient way - by the method of radiation, and more - by the method of convention. In other words, cast iron radiators have an extremely high level of thermal inertia.
In order to be able to minimize this drawback, all thermal power specialists recommend using heating radiators made of non-ferrous metals, especially aluminum alloys, during installation. Such heating radiators are distinguished by an extremely low level of thermal inertia, which makes it possible to transfer heat from the obtained heat carrier in a short period of time. Aluminum heating radiators have a wall thickness of up to 1.5 mm (this allows you to withstand a coolant pressure up to 10-12 atm.), A capacity of up to 0.5-0.7 liters and an attractive appearance that allows them to be installed in almost any, even the most modern interior design.
Those who need heating installation, an order for the installation of heating radiators in Kiev can be made from one of the companies on the website http://catalog.good.ua/
