Water heating of a country house, regardless of whether hot water comes through a central line or is heated by an individual boiler, should be evenly distributed over the heating devices (batteries) installed in it. For this, special brass collectors are used, for more details see http://kotel-vlg.ru/ulsugi/otoplenie/tuxhorn -armatura.html . Products are considered to be optimally reliable and durable. They represent an enlarged (with a larger diameter) pipe section installed in the system, equipped with receiving and distributing holes in the form of threaded branches for further connection.
The main types of collector devices
It should be borne in mind that the main task assigned to the collector, regardless of its use, is the collection of hot water supplied under pressure for heating, equalization of its pressure, distribution over the system served by the device, further collection and removal of waste (which has given up its heat in the room) liquid (return). According to their functional structure, they can be divided into the following main types:
- Designed for limiting the water temperature, regulating the flow rate and balancing the underfloor heating circuits - they are widely used both in private houses and in apartments.
- In radiator beam circuits (heated water is supplied directly from the collector to each radiator), the same devices for underfloor heating systems are used, but with reduced functionality.
- Large collectors are used for general distribution of the heating medium.
Temperature differences and the presence of high pressure inside the heating system, first of all, "test" the strength of the collectors, which act as a kind of fuse against dynamic shocks. Therefore, it is not practical to resort to installing this (seemingly simple) device, made by a handicraft method. You can purchase a high-quality brass collector using the website of the company that supplies them directly from the manufacturer by selecting the required model in the online catalog.
