Ensuring the full operation of the system Choosing a pipe diameter for heating a private house

Making sure our heating systems are operating properly is essential to keeping our homes warm and comfortable. Choosing the appropriate pipe diameter for heating a private residence is a crucial component of this. Despite its seemingly insignificant nature, the pipe diameter has a big impact on the heating system’s efficacy and efficiency.

Selecting the appropriate pipe diameter requires taking into account a number of variables, such as the house’s size, the amount of heat that is needed, and the kind of heating system that is being installed. An inadequately sized pipe can impede the flow of steam or hot water, resulting in insufficient heating and possible system malfunctions. Larger pipes, on the other hand, may cause needless heat loss and higher energy costs.

A heating system’s pipe sizing needs to be carefully calculated and planned for. Working with experienced experts who can evaluate your unique needs and suggest the ideal pipe diameter for your house is crucial. The ideal pipe diameter depends on a number of factors, including the number of heating zones, the type of radiators or underfloor heating being used, and the length of the pipe runs.

Selecting the appropriate pipe diameter not only guarantees effective heating but also enhances homeowners’ general comfort and contentment. Even in the coldest months of the year, a properly sized heating system can ensure consistent warmth throughout the house, removing cold spots and guaranteeing a comfortable living space.

Aspect	Consideration
House Size	Choose pipe diameter based on the size of your house; larger houses may require larger diameter pipes to ensure sufficient heat distribution.
Heat Demand	Consider the heating needs of your house; higher heat demand may necessitate larger pipe diameters to deliver adequate warmth to all areas.

How to choose a heating pipe diameter

Determine the cross-section of the pipes you require precisely; otherwise, it won’t function. will need to select from a number of options. And all because there are various ways to accomplish the same result.

It is crucial that we achieve uniform heating of the radiators by applying the proper amount of heat to them. For forced circulation systems, we use pumps, coolant, and pipes.

Essentially, all we have to do is "drive away" a specific quantity of coolant for a predetermined amount of time. One can install smaller diameter pipes and run the coolant faster, or one can design a system with a larger section and less intense movement. Typically, go with the first option. And for that reason:

• the cost of smaller products below;
• It’s easier to work with them;
• With an open laying, they do not attract attention, and when laying on the floor or walls, less sizes are required;
• With a small diameter, the system is less than the coolant, which reduces its inertia and leads to fuel saving. Calculation of the diameter of copper heating pipes depending on the power of radiators

Every time they consider the same thing, it is unreasonable because there is a set of diameters and a certain amount of heat that they must deliver. Consequently, unique tables were created, based on which the potential size is ascertained based on the required heat, coolant speed, and system temperature indicators. In other words, locate the desired table and choose the appropriate cross section from it to find the cross-section of the pipes in the heating system.

This formula (you can count if you’d like) was used to calculate the diameter of the heating pipes. The computed values were then entered into the table.

A formula to determine the heating pipe’s diameter

D is the pipeline’s desired diameter in millimeters; ° T is the temperature delta (the difference between the feed and return); Q is the system’s load on this section, and kW is the amount of heat required to heat the space. The coolant speed, or V, is chosen from a range of values.

In individual heating systems, the speed of the coolant can be from 0.2 m/s to 1.5 m/s. According to the operating experience, it is known that the optimal speed is in the range of 0.3 m/s – 0.7 m/s. If the coolant moves slower, air traffic jams occur, if faster, the level of noise increases strongly. The optimal speed range and selected in the table. The tables are designed for different types of pipes: metal, polypropylene, metal -plastic, copper. The values for standard operating modes are calculated: with high and average temperatures. So that the selection process is more understandable, we will analyze specific examples.

How to calculate metal pipes

It is necessary for large heating systems with metal pipes to lose heat through the walls. On very long branches, the total value of the lost energy is quite high, even though these indicators are generally fairly low. This frequently results in the final batteries in the heating circuit not being heated sufficiently. Here, there is only one explanation: the pipes’ diameter was chosen improperly.

Determining the losses of a 40 mm steel pipe with a 1.4 mm wall thickness serves as an example. The formula q = kx3 is used to calculate. 14x (TV -PP), where TP is the room’s air temperature (+22 degrees), TV is the interior water temperature (+80 degrees), and k is the linen heat transfer coefficient (0.272 W*m/s in this case).

The required values must be entered into the formula in order to get a result:

(80-22) = q = 0.272×3.15x = 49 W/s

A picture like this shows that heat is lost through pipes at a rate of nearly 50 watts per meter. The total losses on very long pipelines can be disastrous. Leakage volumes in this instance are directly correlated with the contour’s cross section. You must add a comparable indicator to the pipeline in order to account for such losses to the indicator of decreasing thermal load on the battery. The total value of leaks is taken into consideration when determining the ideal pipeline diameter.

In most cases, these indicators are not crucial for autonomous heating systems. Furthermore, in the process of calculating the boilers’ power and heat loss, the data collected typically rounded upward. This results in the creation of a safety reserve that is free from intricate computations.

What material should be pipe for heating in a private house

The material used in pipe manufacturing is thought to be the most significant factor that directly affects the installation technique, project cost, and thermal losses of the operational system.

It is crucial to realize that determining the type of pipeline is the first step towards calculating the heating system’s parameters.

These days, a number of options are employed with equal success, each having advantages and disadvantages:

• Steel pipe. For a long time remained the only available material for the construction of heat systems. Characterized by solid strength indicators, but complicated in installation, subject to corrosion and is characterized by relatively high roughness of the internal walls. The last two drawbacks are leveled by the use of stainless steel analogues, but such products will cost an order of magnitude higher.
• Copper pipe. It has excellent performance, does not rust, is able to withstand a slight expansion when the coolant freezes. Disadvantage – high cost and complexity of installation.
• Polymer pipe. Produced from polyethylene or polypropylene. Polymer products differ in low price, ease of installation, and a long service life. In addition to the diameter of the pipe itself, it is important to correctly choose the thickness of the walls of the product, which can vary from 1.8 to 3 mm and should be directly dependent on the level of working pressure in the heating system.

A special case

There are two characteristics of the gravitational heating system:

• Excessive pressure in the system is absent. The contour is communicated with the atmosphere through an open expansion tank;
• Instead of the pump, the coolant is driven by natural convection: the water heated with a boiler is replaced by the top point of the heating roser and returns to the boiler through the roslic by gravity, giving heat to the batteries along the way.

Thus, a natural circulation open heating system was set up.

The gravitational heating scheme has the advantages of total security and complete energy dependence. The boiler will not explode because the water in the heat exchanger boiled; instead, the steam will exit the circuit through an open expansion tank.

The lowest hydraulic pressure in the circuit is the opposite of the benefits of natural circulation. The effects of low pressure include uneven radiator heating and sluggish water circulation.

In order to counteract low pressure, the roser’s hydraulic resistance must be minimized.

How to do it?

The directive is clear: it needs to have its diameter increased. The internal section of the pipe has an inverse relationship with pressure loss.

The gravitational system’s heating rosel’s internal diameter ought to be at least 32–40 millimeters.

Be mindful of the pipe’s diameter.

Drawing up a project

The general requirements are followed in the completion of the heating circuit design documentation. The gas boiler’s entry and exit points are regarded as the primary. Even with a polypropylene pipe, the first section of the pipeline is metal and extends for about 1.5 meters from the output point to the system’s first branching.

Next, the entire polypropylene or plastic pipe branch is completed. While the sections vary in length at the same time, each subsequent branch typically makes a smaller size than the preceding one. While the coolant is brought to the heating boiler’s input hole, the plumbing system’s schematility remains the same.

Examples

We comprehend the given examples.

Calculation for a two -pipe circuit

• Two -story house with an area of 340m².
• Building material – Inkerman stone (natural limestone), characterized by low thermal conductivity. → House insulation coefficient = 1.
• Wall thickness – 40 cm.
• Windows – plastic, single -chamber.
• Heat loss 1 floor – 20 kW; second – 18 kW.
• Two -pipe circuit with a separate wing on each floor.
• Pipe material – polypropylene.
• Feed temperature – 80⁰C.
• Output temperature – 60⁰C.
• Temperature delta – 20⁰C.
• Ceiling height – 3 m.
• Region – Crimea (south).
• The average temperature of the five coldest days of winter is (-12⁰C).

1. 340 × 3 = 1020 (m³) – the volume of the room;
2. 20- (-12) = 32 (⁰C)- the difference (delta) of the temperature between the room and the street;
3. 1020 × 1 × 32/860≈38 (kW) – power of the heating circuit;
4. Determining the cross section of the pipe in the first section from the boiler to the branching. According to the table below, pipes with a cross section of 50, 63 or 75 mm are suitable for transmitting a thermal power of 38 kW. The first option is preferable, t.To. provides the highest speed of the carrier.
5. For wiring the stream of carrier to the first and second floor, reference books prescribe pipes with a diameter of 32 mm and 40 mm for capacities 18 and 20 kW, respectively.
6. On each floor, the circuit is divided into two highways with an equal load of 10 and 9 kW, respectively and with a section of 25 mm.
7. As the load decreases due to cooling the coolant, the diameter of the pipes should be reduced to 20 mm (on the ground floor – after the second radiator, on the second – after the third).
8. Reverse wiring is carried out in the same sequence.

Take the media’s speed in 0.6 m/s for the calculation using the formula d = √354x (0.86xq/∆t)/v. The information we obtain is −354x (0.86 × 38/20)/0.6≈31 mm. This is the pipeline’s nominal diameter. In order to be put into practice, different pipe diameters in different sections of the pipeline should be chosen. These diameters will, on average, be reduced to calculated data using the algorithm outlined in paragraphs 4–7.

Determining the diameter of pipes for a single -pipe system with forced circulation

Similar to the last instance, the designated scheme is followed in the computation. The only exception is when pumping equipment is used to accelerate the carrier and maintain a constant temperature throughout the circuit.

1. A significant decrease in power (up to 8.5 kW) occurs only on the fourth radiator, where the transition to a diameter of 15 mm is carried out.
2. After the fifth radiator, a transition to a section of 12 mm occurs.

Crucial! The computation will be adjusted t.To. if pipes made of a different material are used. Every substance has a distinct thermal conductivity level.

Particularly important consideration is given to the metal pipeline’s heat loss.

Heating system wiring scheme

The heating system’s layout must be considered in order to accurately determine the pipeline’s resistance and, in turn, its diameter. Choices:

• two -pipe vertical;
• two -pipe horizontal;
• one -pipe.

The highways’ upper and lower locations can be combined with a two-pipe system featuring a vertical riser. For natural circulation heating, a single-pipe system makes economical use of the highway’s length; a two-pipe system necessitates adding a double set of pipes to the pump circuit.

Three types of horizontal wiring are available:

• dead end;
• with a passing (parallel) movement of water;
• collector (or radial).

When turning off some or all of the radiators, a bypass pipe can be included in a single-pipe wiring scheme to act as a backup line for circuit circulation. Every radiator kit comes with constructive taps that enable you to shut off the water supply when needed.

Understanding the heating system makes it simple to determine its total length, potential coolant flow delays (at bends, turns, and in the compounds), and, ultimately, the system’s resistance value. The method discussed below can be used to determine the diameter of the heating mains based on the calculated value of losses.

Dependence of the efficiency of heating on the diameter of pipelines

The following requirements must be met for the energy system to function fully:

1. Properties of movable fluid (coolant).
2. Pipe material.
3. Stream speed.
4. Pipe.
5. The presence of a pump in the diagram.

The wrong statement that the larger the cross section of the pipe, the more fluid it will miss. In this case, an increase in the lumen of the highway will contribute to a decrease in pressure, and as a result, the flow rate of the coolant. This can lead to a complete stop of fluid turnover in the system and zero efficiency. If you include the pump in the circuit, with a large diameter of the pipe and the increased length of its power, it may not be enough to ensure the desired pressure. In case of interruptions with electricity, the use of the pump in the system is simply useless – heating will be completely absent, how much do not heat the boiler.

The diameter of the pipes is chosen for individual buildings with centralized heating in the same manner as for city apartments. You must precisely determine the diameter in homes where the boiler heats the water with steam. The lengths of the highways, the type and age of the pipes, the number of radiators and plumbing included in the diagram, and the heating scheme (one or two pipes) are all taken into consideration. Table 1 shows the approximate coolant losses based on the type of material and pipeline life.

Excessively small pipe diameter will unavoidably result in the development of high pressure, increasing the strain on the line’s connecting components. Furthermore, there will be noise from the heating system.

Calculation for a two -pipe system

A two-story home with two wings on each floor is equipped with a two-pipe heating system. Products made of polypropylene will be utilized in an 80/60 ratio with a 20 °C temperature delta. The house loses 38 kW of thermal energy as heat. Twenty kW are used on the first floor and eighteen kW on the second. The plan is listed below.

The table that we will use to calculate the diameter is on the right. The pinking zone is the coolant’s ideal speed range.

1. We determine which pipe should be used on the site from the boiler to the first branching. The entire coolant passes through this site, therefore the entire heat volume of 38 kW passes. In the table we find the corresponding line, along it we reach the tinted pink color of the zone and go up. We see that two diameters are suitable: 40 mm, 50 mm. Choose for understandable reasons of the smaller – 40 mm.
2. We turn to the diagram again. Where the stream is divided 20 kW to the 1st floor, 18 kW is sent to the 2nd floor. In the table we find the appropriate lines, determine the cross section of the pipes. It turns out that both branches are diluted with a diameter of 32 mm.
3. Each of the contours is divided into two branches with an equal load. On the ground floor to the right and left, 10 kW (20 kW/2 = 10 kW), on the second for 9 kW (18 kW/2) = 9 kW). By the table we find the corresponding values for these sites: 25 mm. This size is used further until the moment the thermal load drops to 5 kW (the table is visible). Next is already going on a section of 20 mm. On the ground floor by 20 mm, we cross after the second radiator (see the load), on the second – after the third. This paragraph has one amendment made by accumulated experience – it is better to cross 20 mm at a load of 3 kW.

Everybody. The polypropylene pipe diameters for the two-pipe system have been designed. The wiring for the return uses the same pipes as for the feed, and the cross section is not computed. We hope the method is evident. If all of the initial data has it, a similar calculation will be simple. You will require additional tables calculated for the necessary material if you choose to use different pipes. You can test this system, but only for the 75/60 average temperature mode with a 15 °C delta (see the table below).

Calculation of the diameter of the pipes of the heating system

Several parameters are taken into consideration when making this calculation. The heating system’s thermal power must first be ascertained. Next, figure out how quickly the coolant—hot water or another kind—will pass through the pipes. This will assist in avoiding errors and facilitating calculations that are as accurate as possible.

Calculation of the heating system power

The formula is used to carry out the calculations. The heated room’s volume multiplied by the heat loss coefficient and the difference between the interior and outside winter temperatures must be divided by 860 in order to determine the heating system’s power.

The building’s material and the types and availability of insulation techniques can be used to calculate the heat loss coefficient.

If the building’s parameters are Standard. then an average calculation can be made.

• Building Without thermal insulation – coefficient 4
• Low degree Building insulation (brick building with masonry "into one brick" and a large number of windows) – a coefficient of 2.5
• Average thermal insulation buildings (standard brick building without any insulation)-coefficient of 1.5
• High degree of thermal insulation buildings (brick building, bilateral insulation and the presence of energy -saving double -glazed windows) – coefficient 1

In the winter, the average outside temperature is required to calculate the resultant temperature, and sanitary regulations regulate the interior temperature to a minimum.

The speed of the coolant in the system

The standards state that the coolant should flow through the heating pipes at a speed greater than the indicator’s 0.2 meters per second. This requirement stems from the fact that when the fluid moves at a slower speed, air is released. This can cause air traffic jams, which can impair the heating system as a whole.

Over 1.5 meters per second is the upper speed limit that should be avoided as this can cause noise in the system.

Generally speaking, it’s best to abide by the average speed limit to improve circulation and the system’s overall productivity. Most frequently, specialized pumps are used to accomplish this.

Calculation of the diameter of the heating system pipe

The accurate measurement of the pipe’s diameter is crucial because it ensures the system operates at high quality. If you mount the system on an incorrect measurement, you won’t be able to make partial corrections. The whole pipeline system will have to be replaced. Furthermore, these are high costs. You must approach the calculation with complete responsibility if you want to avoid this.

The diameter of the pipe is calculated using a unique formula. She mentions:

• The desired diameter
• Thermal power of the system
• The speed of the coolant
• The difference between the temperature in the supply and return of the heating system.

The selection of this temperature differential should be based on the return (usually 65–70 degrees) and the input standards (not less than 95 degrees). This leads to the standard acceptance of a temperature difference of 20 degrees.

What can be the consequences of the reckoning of the diameter of the heating pipe

It is highly undesirable to have the pipe’s eye of diameter. When a home repair goes wrong, it is advised to use an old-fashioned типоразмер to either increase the value or decrease its value. The long circulation circuit will be the only potential exception. But caution is still required even in this situation.

Making changes to the pipe diameter is not advised by many experts since it may negatively impact the heating system as a whole.

However, why is the size reduced when a plastic pipe is used in place of a steel pipe? Here, everything is straightforward: the plastic pipes themselves have the same outer diameter and inner diameter. Therefore, the holes in the ceiling and walls will need to be enlarged—from 25 to 32 mm—and done so seriously. However, this is required for a specification. It is therefore simpler to allow the pipe thinner to enter these holes.

However, it turns out that in the same circumstance, the residents who replaced the pipes were "stolen" by their neighbors, who were walking through the pipes and using this riser that provides roughly 40% heat and water. It is important to realize that replacing the pipe thickness in the thermal system arbitrarily is not a problem that can be resolved on a private basis. Expand the holes in the ceiling if the steel pipes are replaced with plastic ones—it’sinevitable,no matter what anyone says.

In this case, there is such a choice. When replacing the risers in the old holes, avoid making new cuts in the steel pipes. The pipes’ length should be between 50 and 60 centimeters, depending on factors like the ceiling’s thickness. They are then coupled together using plastic pipe couplings. This is a perfectly reasonable option.

Pipe material

The choice of material for the pipeline itself must be made before deciding on the ideal pipe diameter for heating a private residence. This enables you to specify the installation technique, project cost, and anticipate potential heat loss beforehand. Pipes are first separated into metal and polymer categories.

Metal

• Steel (black, stainless, galvanized).

Distinguished by exceptional robustness and resilience against mechanical harm. At least 15 years of service are provided (up to 50 years with anti-corrosion treatment).

130°C is the operating temperature. The pipe can withstand up to 30 atmospheres of pressure at its maximum. Avoid burning. They are prone to corrosion, difficult to install (special equipment and substantial temporary costs are needed), and complex. When coolant is being transported to the radiators, heat loss is increased due to the high heat transfer coefficient. It needs to be colored postmontage. the rough inner surface, which encourages deposits to build up within the system.

The life of the pipes and the heating circuit as a whole is greatly increased by the stainless steel’s resistance to corrosion and lack of need for staining.

The highest temperature allowed in a working environment is 250°C. Operating pressure: at least 30 atmospheres. Operational resource: over a century. high resistance to corrosion and freezing media.

The latter prohibits using copper in combination with other materials (such as steel, aluminum, or stainless steel); copper is only compatible with brass. Internal wall smoothness lowers hydraulic resistance and permits the use of smaller diameter pipes by preventing the formation of a raid and not worsening the pipeline’s throughput. flexibility, low weight, and straightforward connecting technologies (fittings, soldering). Hydraulic losses are eliminated by the thin walls and connecting fittings.

The biggest disadvantage is their exorbitant cost; copper pipes are five to seven times more expensive than their plastic equivalents. Furthermore, because of its softness, the material is more susceptible to mechanical particles, or impurities, in the heat system. These particles cause abrasive friction, which wears down the pipes from the inside. It is advised to install specialized filters in the system to increase the lifespan of copper pipes.

Copper’s high thermal conductivity makes it an essential component of "warm floors" systems, but it also necessitates the placement of insulating sleeves to prevent heat loss.

Polymer

It can be metal-plastic, polypropylene, or polyethylene. Depending on the production technology, the additives used, and the structural details, each modification has unique technical properties.

30 years is the service life. The carrier temperature is 95 °C (short-term 130 °C); overheating causes pipes to distort, which lowers operational resource. characterized by a lack of coolant resistance, which causes the coolant to freeze and break. The pipeline’s hydrodynamic indicators are improved because the internal coating’s smoothness inhibits the formation of a raid.

Because of the material’s flexibility, laying pipes doesn’t require cutting, which lowers the quantity of fitting connections needed. Because plastic does not corrode or react with concrete, it is possible to equip "warm floors" and conceal thermal pipelines beneath the floor. The excellent soundproofing qualities of plastic pipes are thought to be a unique benefit.

High temperatures can cause significant linear expansion in polyethylene pipes, necessitating the installation of additional fastening points and compensation loops.

Analogs of polypropylene should be included in the "anti-dyfusal layer" structure, which stops the contour from disagreeing.

The walls’ thickness, which ranges from 1.8 to 3 mm, and the diameter of the polymer pipes are both determined by the circuit’s pressure level. Fitting compounds increase hydraulic losses but make circuit installation simpler.

The details of the markings on different pipes should be considered when selecting a diameter:

• plastic and copper are marked along the external section;
• steel and metal -plastic – according to the internal;
• Often the cross section is indicated in inches, to calculate them, it is required to be translated into millimeters. 1 inch = 25.4 mm.

Given the dimensions of the external section and the thickness of the wall, you can calculate the internal diameter of the pipe by deducting the double wall thickness value from the outer diameter.

Such different diameters

A certain amount of confusion is unavoidable because of the different pipe systems made of various materials in the mind of the prospective customer. I’ll try to make this question more clear.

• The steel pipe is marked with conditional passage, or DU. It is approximately equal to the inner diameter; small deviations of the actual size from DU are due to the spread of the thickness of the walls of ordinary, light and enhanced water and gas pipes;

The steel pipe’s conditional passage is roughly equal to its inner diameter.

• Marking DN denotes the same DU (conditional passage). However, DN is often indicated in inches. Inch is 2.54 centimeters; Only now the marking in inches is traditionally rounded to several whole and fractional values, which exacerbates confusion. For the convenience of the reader, I will give a table of compliance of the sizes of steel pipes in millimeters and inches;

Du	Size in inches
15	1/2
20	3/4
25	1
32	1 1/4
40	1 1/2
50	2

• Pipes made of stitched and ordinary polyethylene, polypropylene and metallomeric products are marked external diameter. On average, their diameter is one step larger than the internal section: a pipe with a size of 25 mm has the same internal cross section as a steel dule of 20, 32 mm corresponds to DU 25 and so on;

Polypropylene pipe dimensions, both inside and outside. The spread of wall thickness is determined by varying working pressure.

• All polymer products are lower than steel, hydraulic resistance due to minimal roughness of the walls. In addition, they overgrow over time with rust and lime deposits, so their diameter is selected without a reserve. But it is better to buy steel pipes for the CO system, taking into account these factors, rounding the calculated diameter of the pipes up.

The House Center system of Central Center features an open steel eyeliner.

Search for relevant data

Regarding the search for the best reference data, nearly all websites belonging to heating system component manufacturers offer this information. When appropriate values could not be located, a unique method for choosing diameters is available. This method is dependent on computations rather than average patterns created from processing data from a large number of heating systems. The computation of the coolant on the pipe’s cross section was created by plumbers with hands-on installation experience and is utilized to set up minor interior contours.

Heating boilers are typically furnished with two sizes of feeding and reverse nozzles: ¾ and ½ inch. Prior to the first branching, this size is used as the foundation for the wiring. Each new branching later on provides an excuse to reduce diameter by one position. The cross-section of the apartment’s pipes can be calculated using this method. We are discussing small systems with three to eight radiators. These schemes usually have two or three lines and one or two batteries. Small private cottages can also be computed in a similar way. You must make use of reference data if there are two or more floors.

Another method for determining the diameter

Its foundation is logical analysis of various heating systems. The installers devised this technique. On small systems, it functions for apartments and private buildings.

The method’s operational scheme:

There are nozzles for both the first (feed) and reverse movements coming from numerous boilers. They measure between ¾ and ½ inch. Additionally, prior to the first branching, this pipe is utilized for wiring. The size is then decreased by one step on the following branch.

Modest-sized systems typically have 2-3 branches and 3–9 radiators. They all have two to three radiators. This method works best for such networks. For private buildings that are one story, it is appropriate.

The calculation procedure

It is necessary to start the calculation of the diameter of the pipe for heating with the drawing of the scheme. It is necessary to draw a plan of each floor of the building and reflect on it all branches of the system. All this is done in the form of a sketch, by hand, and to make it better for you to understand, take a more piece of paper. When the scheme is ready, imagine an abstract picture, where hot water from the boiler spreads through pipelines and carries heat to each room with it. So, our pipes should skip a sufficient amount of this water so that the heat is enough for each room.

By comparing the results with standard pipe diameters, the computation aims to determine the coolant flow rate and the highway throughput.

We start our count in the farthest room, which is also the heating system’s dead end. The following formula determines the coolant’s massive flow rate:

Where: G = 0.86 q / δt

• G – the desired mass consumption of water, kg/h;
• Q – the amount of heat required for heating the room, TU;
• Δt – temperature difference in the supply and reverse pipelines, in the calculations it is always accepted equal to 20 ºС.

We calculated the mass of the liquid entering our room, and you must know its volume in order to select the appropriate pipe diameter. With a maximum temperature of 80 º, the water is hot and has a lower density. Consequently, one must determine the volumetric flow (l/h) by dividing the mass by the density:

As a point of reference. At 80 oC, the density of water is 971.6 kg/m3.

We can determine the cross-sectional area by knowing the volume of the coolant that is flowing:

V / (3600ϑ) = A

• A – the area of the cross -section of the pipe, m2;
• V is the volumetric flow rate of the coolant, m3/h;
• ϑ– velocity of water movement, m/s.

Moreover, the area of the circle formula is used to determine the diameter of heat pipelines made of different materials as well as metal and plastic for heating:

D is equal to -4a / π.

For instance. The far room requires 3,000 watts, and the coolant circulates naturally. The result for mass consumption is 0.86 x 3000 /20 = 129 kg / h, while the result for volume is 129/971.6 = 0.13 m3/h. The diameter of the pipe is √4 x 0.00012 /3.14 = 0.012 m or 12 mm, and its cross section is 0.13 / (3600 x 0.3) = 0.00012 m2.

The resultant figure is placed in the diagram close to the distant room, and we proceed to the next one that is closest to the boiler. The only difference is that we have to account for the fact that heat is supplied to each room through a single pipe. Otherwise, our calculations remain the same. Consequently, in order to heat these two rooms, thermal power must first be added. The outcome is then entered into the first formula to determine the coolant’s mass flow rate. We get even closer to the boiler at the end, folding warmth for three rooms and so forth.

If the method described seems too complicated for someone, ready-made tables can be used to determine the pipe diameter for heating. Nevertheless, the data they provide is frequently lacking or presented in a way that makes it challenging for the average homeowner to comprehend the figures. One of these tables is shown here:

As you can see, even though the standard series of internal sizes is as follows: DU 10, 15, 20, 25, 32, 40, 50, and so on, the estimated diameters are presented with a specific interval. It is evident, incidentally, that the diameter of the heating pipes in a system with natural circulation is significantly larger than in a system with a circulation pump. It is sufficient to compare the throughput of pipes of any size at the coolant speed of 0.3 and 0.7 m/s to confirm this.

After receiving the results, we choose the pipe size by taking the closest larger diameter from the standard row. It must be remembered that the steel water and gas pipes’ designation indicates the internal size of the product, whereas the electric welding pipes’ designation indicates the external one. Since the labeling on metal-plastic, polyethylene, and polypropylene pipes is the same, subtracting two wall thicknesses from the external dimensions will yield the internal diameter.

Completing calculations by hand is laborious and not always convenient. It is advised to enter the four straightforward formulas listed above into Exel and use this program to perform calculations in order to simplify the work. At that point, you can be certain of the outcomes and know precisely which pipes are meant to be used for heating.

Determination of the power of the heating system

The following formula can be used to calculate the power of the heating system, or the degree of heating: multiply the heat loss coefficient by the house’s internal volume and the resulting temperature, then divide the result by 860.

The quality of housing (i.e., the materials used in construction and the availability of insulation) affects the heat loss coefficient (K). Average coefficient indicators for a typical brick home are as follows:

• without thermal insulation, K = 4;
• low degree of insulation (many large windows), K = 2.5;
• average thermal insulation (few windows, construction without special insulation), K = 1.5;
• High thermal insulation (insulation on both sides, saving heat packages), K = 1.

The coefficient of power transfer to kW is represented by the number 860 in the formula, 1 kW = 860 kcal/h.

The difference in wintertime temperatures between the street and the house is the resultant temperature. For sanitary standards, the calculation should be based on average temperatures.

You can assess the heating system’s efficiency with the help of the heating power indicator.

In setting up a heating system for your home, choosing the right pipe diameter is crucial for its efficient operation. The diameter impacts the flow rate of the heating fluid and ultimately affects how well your house gets heated. Too small a diameter and the system might struggle to circulate enough heat; too large and you could end up wasting energy and money. Factors like the size of your house, the layout of your heating system, and the type of heat source you"re using all play into this decision. It"s important to carefully consider these factors and consult with professionals to ensure you select the optimal pipe diameter for your specific needs. By doing so, you can ensure your heating system operates at its full potential, keeping your home cozy and your energy bills manageable.

Calculate the diameter of the heating pipes

Two systems are used for pipe measurement:

• in millimeters according to the "conditional" diameter;
• In inches in the diameter of the thread (1 inch is 25.4mm).

Experts calculate the diameter of heating pipes using specific tables and formulas, taking into account the type of pipe (steel, plastic, or metal).

When designing the system, the calculation of the heating pipes should be done first.

The required thermal load (heat flow) and coolant flow rate are set on specific tables when determining the diameter. The total amount of heat transfer from all of the heating system’s devices is known as the thermal load.

Take a look at BAXI Wall Cauldiner.

Heat transfer is influenced by the room’s volume. There is a standard: 1 kW of power is used to heat 1 m2 at a ceiling height of 2.5 m. The diameter is rounded to the closest standard row value after calculation.

These kinds of calculations are typically found in the most intricate heating systems. In daily life, the following standard dimensions are utilized in private homes and apartments:

• from 10 to 15 mm – the diameter of the pipes intended for the supply of water (or in inches from one to the second to three eighths);
• from 20 to 25 mm – the diameter of the pipes used as a riser in the system (in inches from three fourth to one).

One factor in the most efficient operation of heating systems is properly defined pipe diameter.

Metal -plastic pipes

The most common kind of pipes among customers is this one. These products come in a large standard assortment and are perfect for heating system installation. The following are some of their benefits:

• increased strength and durability (aluminum or fiberglass base, covered with plastic, generally creates a high -strength structure that does not destroy over time and resistant to mechanical damage);
• resistance to corrosion processes (a sealed external coating does not pass air);
• minimal hydraulic resistance (such pipes are ideal for heating systems with natural and forced water circulation);
• have an antistatic property;
• simplicity and high speed of installation (professional knowledge is not required for installation, it is enough to familiarize yourself with the installation technique on the Internet and purchase a special soldering iron);
• Low cost of pipes of any diameters and components to them.

Fittings, which are unique components, offer a dependable connection between the elements. Flares or adapters for a threaded connection are used when connecting metal-plastic pipes to locking reinforcement or metal.

Installing a heating system using fiberglass-reinforced pipes and fittings eliminates the need to clean these components, greatly speeding up and streamlining the process.

Therefore, the ideal choice for the heating system’s independent installation is metal-plastic pipes. The most important thing is to select the appropriate number and diameter of pipes and other parts (fittings).

Units of marking

A standard unit of measurement is considered when choosing components for heating in order to establish the marking and size. The primary value denotes that the measurement is expressed as an inch or whole number. We can easily convert an inch to standard millimeters using the ratio 1 inch = 25.4 mm.

Several indicators are used to calculate the pipe size, including the potential fluid current speed and a one-meter pressure loss in the pipeline section. It is economically appropriate to calculate the diameter using the pressure drop indicators in order to find the cost balance between capital services and operating costs.

The cost indicators increase with diameter, and the electric pump will require more energy to operate in order to pump a given volume of water in areas where the diameter is narrowed.

The effect of the diameter of the pipes on the efficiency for the heating system in a private house

Selecting a pipeline segment based solely on the "more – better" theory is flawed. An excessively large cross-sectional area in the pipe causes the pressure inside it to drop, which in turn slows down the coolant and heat flow.

Furthermore, if the diameter is too big, the pump might not have enough power to move such a big amount of coolant.

Crucial! A higher total heat capacity implied by the system’s larger coolant volume means that more time and energy will be required to heat it, which also has an impact on efficiency. Table for Tsection Pipe Selection

Selection of Tsection Pipe: Table

For the following reasons, the pipe’s ideal cross section should be as small as feasible for this configuration (see the table):

• The small volume of the coolant heats up faster;
• Smaller lumen creates a greater resistance to the movement of the coolant, It slows down, which leads to a decrease in noise;
• A small diameter pipeline will fit better into the interior and will cause less difficulties in installation;
• Its cost depends on the size of the pipe, Therefore, thin pipes are more profitable in price.

Don’t go overboard, though, as a small diameter not only increases the strain on connecting and locking valves but also can’t transfer enough thermal energy.

The following table is used to identify the ideal pipe section.

Photo 1: The table with the values for the heating system’s typical two-pipe circuit.

Choosing water speed in the heating system

The most popular option is the rapid water flow through smaller-diameter pipes. The speed of movement will decrease as the pipe’s diameter increases. However, the last option is less common and the movement reduction is not very profitable.

The potential water rate in the heating system should be considered when selecting pipes.

Why it is more profitable to run the pipe at a higher speed and a smaller diameter:

• Smaller products are less;
• Working with smaller diameter pipes at home is easier;
• If the gasket is open, they do not attract attention so much, and if the styling goes into the walls or floor, then the strokes will require smaller sizes;
• A small diameter provides a smaller amount of coolant in the pipe, and this, in turn, reduces the inertia of the system, which saves fuel.

The size of the pipes in a house is calculated using special tables that have been developed. An example of such a table would include the necessary heat requirement, coolant flow rate, and system temperature indicators. It turns out that a table is required in order to select pipes with the appropriate cross-section, and diameter is chosen for it. The table may be replaced by a suitable online program available today.

Water supply to the boiler is a natural two -pipe heating in Leningradka

A centralized water supply is used to provide the boiler with a summary water supply. On the other hand, a circulation pump for heating is required for the supply and cycle of water if the developer gets water from the well on an individual basis.

A circulation pump is used in the heating system. maximizing the coolant’s speed and making sure the cooled fluid returns to the boiler. Air plugs are easily removed by the pump, which also handles the issue of continuously flowing coolant. It is advised to select a self-regulating pump with a wet rotor for a private home’s heating system. This pump makes contact with the coolant while operating. This pump is affordable, long-lasting, silent, and adjustable to the boiler’s operating conditions. Its efficiency and power are sufficient for the cottage.

With manometers, you can regulate the pressure.

The heating system needs pressure control because a breakdown could happen at any time and it’s important to understand the working pressure.

One and a half to two atm of pressure is ideal for a home heating system. Increased pressure to three atm. capable of shattering radiators, pipelines, and boilers. Additionally, an expansion tank is placed at the boiler’s exit to prevent a sudden surge in pressure that could occur from higher water pressure in the heating system.

How to calculate the cross section of pipes for heat supply

It is worthwhile to address the concept of "diameter" in detail prior to determining the pipeline’s diameter. When discussing heating pipes, it’s common to discuss various interpretations of this term:

• External diameter. The parameter required when designing the system. Folds of inner diameter and wall thickness.
• Inner diameter. Defines the throughput of the pipeline.
• Nominal value of the pipe opening. The indicator used in the labeling of plastic products.

It’s crucial! Copper and metal-plastic pipes are labeled according to the external cross section, while steel and cast-iron pipes are labeled according to the inner cross section. The pipes’ diameter is frequently expressed in inches.

It’s easy to convert them into the more recognizable millimeters for us; there are 25.4 mm in an inch.

The pipes’ diameter is frequently stated in inches. It’s easy to convert them into the more recognizable millimeters for us; there are 25.4 mm in an inch.

The calculation of the thermal power of the system

For small standard heating systems, complicated calculations can be avoided. Here, it will be sufficient to abide by a few basic guidelines:

• For contours with natural circulation, the optimal diameter of the pipes will become a value of 30-40 mm.
• In systems with forced circulation of the coolant, it is worth preferring a smaller diameter pipes. This will provide optimal values of the velocity and pressure of the fluid flow.

In case precise computations are needed, you can utilize pre-made customized programs or perform calculations using the formulas. The system’s thermal power is first calculated using the formula Q = (v*∆t*k)*860.

• Q – thermal power, kW/h,
• V is the volume of heated room, m3,
• ∆t – an average indicator of the temperature difference in the room and on the street, ⁰S,
• K – coefficient of thermal losses,
• 860 – constant correction factor for transferring calculated indicators to the KW/h format.

With a reasonable level of accuracy, all factors are readily calculable. Certain inquiries can only lead to the coefficient’s definition.

The degree of thermal insulation in the home or other location for which calculations are made determines its value.

The figures could look like this:

• K = 3-4. Building with a minimum level of thermal insulation.
• K = 2-2.9. Brick facade cladding.
• K = 1-1.9. The average level of thermal insulation.
• K = 0.6-0.9. High -quality insulation by modern materials.

It will be necessary to use a special table to determine the diameter of the pipes after determining the thermal power of the heating system.

Tables can change based on the manufacturer as well as the kind of pipe (polypropylene, steel, cast iron, copper, etc.). Getting these tables straight from the manufacturers’ websites is more accurate. The table typically shows the estimated temperature delta and thermal power. The intended pipe diameter will be indicated at the intersection of these parameters.

You can use the compliance of different types of pipelines if you find a table for a specific type of pipe.

Here, the corresponding models made of other materials are painted for each pipe diameter, or inner diameter. There will inevitably be some inaccuracy, but not to a great extent for small heating systems.

Fluid speed in the system

The heating system’s speed determines how evenly thermal energy is distributed among all batteries or radiators.

Conversely, the pipe’s diameter directly affects how quickly fluid advances through it; the lower the pipeline’s cross sectional area, the faster (ceteris paribus) the coolant will flow through it.

It is important to select a speed value that falls within the range of the range when determining the diameter of the pipes:

• On the one hand, the flow rate of water should not be too high. This, of course, will increase the efficiency of the system, but will invariably be accompanied by additional noise.
• On the other hand, at speeds below 0.3 m/s, large heat losses will be noted. In addition, small pressure will make useless air vents and Maevsky cranes, since air traffic jams will simply not reach these elements.
• The indicators from the range 0.36-0.7 m/s are considered the best speed values.

Wounter pipes

These products are rolled using a transverse screw. They are covered with ribs to increase their surface area and produce heat. By utilizing these pipes, the weight of thermal exchangers can be decreased because heat generates heat, which is used to circulate liquid.

This type of pipe has two to three times the heat exchange area of a typical smooth pipe. Walnut pipes’ high price deters people from using them. Copper, brass, and aluminum are used to make products. These kinds of pipelines are expensive to organize for a heating system because we won’t be covering their computation in this piece.

The pipe diameter can be computed independently in a non-branched and complex system. To do this, you’ll need information on each radiator’s power and the room’s thermal losses. The cross section of the pipe that corresponds to the supply of the ideal quantity of heat can then be found by consulting the table. It is best to leave the computation of complex multi-element schemes to the experts. In dire circumstances, weigh your options, but make an effort to at least obtain a consultation.

Types of radiators

Owners have varied opinions about which type of heating is best for private homes, but when it comes to radiators, many of them favor aluminum models. It is a fact that the material affects how powerful the heating batteries are. They are aluminum and cast iron, bimetallic.

The standard power of one section of the bimetallic radiator is 180–205 W for aluminum, 120–160 W for cast iron, and 100–180 W for one section.

Finding out the precise material a radiator is made of is important when purchasing it, as this information is needed to calculate power correctly.

The speed of movement of the coolant

It is important to remember that the heating system’s pipeline water speed cannot be lower than 0.2-0.25 m/s. The coolant will start to progressively release air if the speed is still lower at some point, which will result in air plugs in the system. These traffic bottlenecks always cause the system’s performance to decline, eventually leading to failure.

The upper speed threshold can range from 0.6 to 1.5 m/s, which is a fairly wide range. It is preferable to select a specific average value rather than going over this threshold because doing so results in a reduction in heat transfer and loud noises from the hydraulic processes going on in the system.

In summary

Once all the required parameter values have been gathered, all that is left to do is enter them into the formula to determine the pipe diameter required for the heating system. It is worthwhile to use specialized tables that list all of the indicators used in the calculations and their corresponding formulas in order to simplify the work.

You can figure out the ideal pipe size for a given scenario with a few basic calculations. You can build an incredibly high-quality and useful structure that will give the house enough heat if you have a clear idea of the diameter of the pipe to use for heating.

The choice of components

The construction industry now provides a large range of samples made of different materials:

• Steel pipes today are very rarely used when laying. They are unreliable, as they are subject to corrosion, gaps when exposed to high temperatures;
• Metal -plastic pipes are not amenable to corrosion, but at the bends at pressure and under the influence of pressure, they can also be destroyed;
• Copper pipes are considered the most durable, aesthetic and convenient in repair work, but they are the most expensive of all;
• Polymer products. This list includes polyethylene and polypropylene pipes. Such a choice of plumbing is considered the most reasonable regarding the ratio of price-quality.

Selecting the required components is simple if you look at the label where the coolant’s temperature and allowable pressure are mentioned.

Calculation of the heating system power

Use the following formula to determine the minimum indicators of the heating system’s power required to effectively heat the house:

This is how the characters are decoded:

• Qt – required power (kW/hour),
• V – volume of heated room (m3),
• ∆t – temperature difference inside and outside the building (0C),
• K is the coefficient of thermal losses of the building (depending on the design features of the building and thermal insulation),
• 860 – coefficient that allows you to translate the value of the result in kW/hour.

Because it is difficult to calculate the coefficient of heat loss accurately, simplified values—whose value varies depending on the type of construction—can be used in private construction.

• 3-4-this value of the heat loss coefficient is used if the building does not have thermal insulation (for example, in the case of simple wooden buildings);
• 2-2.9-the coefficient is used in the formula in the presence of weak thermal insulation (a simplified construction of the building, for example, brickwork with a thickness of one brick);
• 1-1.9-this coefficient is suitable for buildings having the average heat-insulation indicators (standard building, for example, brick masonry with two brick thickness, ordinary roof and optimal number of windows);
• 0.6-0.9-this value of the heat loss coefficient is used in calculating the heating system of buildings that have good thermal insulation (improved construction scheme, brick walls with double thermal insulation, a small number of windows equipped with double frames).

You must know precisely what outcome you want to achieve when calculating polypropylene pipes for heating. For instance, the desired level of comfort within the home influences how much the temperature differs inside and outside the building. The determined indicator of the outside temperature is chosen from specific tables and is dependent on the local climate. Also read: "."

An example of calculating the heating system

Usually, a simplified calculation is carried out using variables like the room’s volume, insulation level, coolant flow rate, and supply and outlet pipeline temperature differences.

The following procedure is used to calculate the pipe’s diameter for forced circulation heating:

• The total amount of heat is determined, which must be supplied to the room (thermal power, kW), you can focus on tabular data;

The thermal power value is contingent upon the temperature differential and pump power.

• setting down the speed of water, determine the optimal D.

Calculation of thermal power

As an illustration, consider a typical room that measures 4.8 by 5.0 by 3.0 meters. When wiring an apartment with a forced-circulation heating circuit, the diameters of the heating pipes must be determined. This is how the primary calculated formula appears:

The following designations were used in the formula:

• V is the volume of the room. In the example, it is 3.8 ∙ 4.0 ∙ 3.0 = 45.6m 3;
• Δt – the difference between the temperature on the street and indoors. The example has been accepted by 53 ° C;

Minimum temperatures in certain cities for specific months

• K – special coefficient determining the degree of insulation of the building. In the general case, its value is in the range from 0.6-0.9 (effective thermal insulation is used, the floor and roof are insulated, at least double-glazed windows are installed) up to 3-4 (buildings without thermal insulation, for example, cabinets). The example uses an intermediate option – the apartment has standard thermal insulation (K = 1.0 – 1.9), it is accepted by K = 1.1.

A total of 45.6 ∙ 53 √ 1.1/860 = 3.09 kW should be the thermal power.

Use of the tabular data is possible.

Thermal flow calculation table

Diameter definition

The formula determines the diameter of the heating pipes.

When utilizing the designations:

• Δt – the difference in the temperature of the coolant in the supply and outlet pipelines. Given the fact that water is supplied at a temperature of the order of 90-95 ° C, and it manages to cool up to 65-70 ° C, the temperature difference can be taken equal to 20 ° C;
• V – the skill of water movement. It is undesirable that it exceeds the value of 1.5 m/s, and the minimum permissible threshold is 0.25 m/s. It is recommended to dwell on an intermediate speed of 0.8 – 1.3 m/s.

Take note! Air traffic jams may form as a result of choosing the wrong pipe diameter for heating, which could cause a speed decrease below the minimum threshold. Consequently, the work’s effectiveness will be zero.

In this example, DVN will be equal to √354 ∙ (0.86 ∙ 3.09/20)/1.3 = 36.18 mm. It is evident that there isn’t a DVN of that kind if you look at the sizes, like the pp pipeline. Here, the closest diameter of propylene pipes is all that is chosen for heating.

As an illustration, if you select a PN25 with DVN 33.2 mm, the coolant’s speed will rise slightly but will still stay within allowable bounds.

Features of heating systems with natural circulation

Their primary distinction is that they generate pressure without the need of a circulation pump. Gravity causes the liquid to travel; once heated, it is displaced upward, travels through the radiators, cools, and eventually returns to the boiler.

The circulation pressure principle is depicted in the diagram.

The diameter of the pipes used for natural circulation heating should be greater than that of forced circulation systems. The computation in this instance is predicated on the fact that the circulation pressure surpasses the loss due to friction and local resistance.

An example of natural circulation wiring

There are specific tables prepared for various temperature changes so that the value of circulation pressure doesn’t have to be calculated every time. For instance, the circulation pressure will be 488 PA if the pipeline runs 4.0 meters from the boiler to the radiator and the temperature difference is 20ᵒs (90 °C in the supply and 70 °C in the outlet). On the basis of this, D is changed to choose the coolant speed.

Verification computation is also necessary when doing calculations by hand. In other words, the calculations are done in reverse order, and the audit’s goal is to determine the circulation pressure’s loss and local resistances.

Selecting the proper pipe diameter for your home’s heating system is essential to its best performance. Your home’s heat distribution efficiency is directly impacted by the pipe diameter. A properly sized pipe guarantees uniform heat distribution throughout your house, resulting in constant warmth and comfort.

It’s important to take your home’s size, the design of the heating system, and the kind of heating system you have installed into account when choosing the pipes’ diameter. Performing a comprehensive analysis of these variables will assist in selecting the right diameter to effectively fulfill your heating requirements.

Inadequate heat delivery from undersized pipes can cause cold spots and uneven heating in your house. Larger pipes, on the other hand, may result in heat loss, reduced system performance, and increased energy costs. Achieving the ideal balance is essential to guaranteeing maximum efficiency and performance.

Choosing the right pipe diameter for your unique heating needs can be made easier by speaking with an engineer or heating specialist. They can evaluate the heating requirements of your house, take into account variables like insulation thickness and weather, and suggest the ideal pipe diameter to optimize system efficiency.

Selecting the appropriate pipe diameter for your heating system requires time and effort, but it’s worth it for long-term comfort, energy savings, and system dependability. You can minimize energy waste and save money on heating bills while maintaining a warm and cozy home environment by using appropriate pipe sizing to ensure your heating system operates to its full potential.
