Heating radiators which are better for the apartment

The time will come when new gadgets need to be used in place of the high-quality batteries that were once in the apartment. And right away, the issue: which heating radiator is best for the apartment? Another situation where installing new batteries is necessary is when the apartment has old cast-iron "accordions" that don’t match the owners’ interior design.

Warmer radiators, which are more advantageous for apartments

The contemporary market provides a wide range of radiator models with entirely attractive appearances and composed of different materials. I would naturally like to see such new items in their possessions, especially when comparing the designs of modern devices with crude cast-iron batteries or inefficient and low-quality convectors, which were previously installed in apartments.

Criteria for choosing radiators

Modern radiator selection requires careful consideration because not all of their models are appropriate for installation, say, in a central heating system. Some models simply cannot handle hydraulic boards, which are regrettably common in our shared networks, because they are made for a clean coolant and a specific maximum load. Conversely, other radiators within the self-contained heating system will not operate to their full capacity.

Apart from the selection of radiators for operational indicators, it is imperative to accurately determine the number of sections in batteries for every individual room. Failure to do so will result in a low level of effectiveness and insufficient comfort within the apartment premises.

Given all of their operational subtleties and compliance with all advised technological installation guidelines, it is therefore anticipated that the impact of installing new heating devices will be extremely high.

Currently, a variety of radiator types with varying manufacturing and design processes are produced:

  1. Cast iron batteries, both old models and advanced, having an elegant modern or retro design.
  2. Steel radiators – tubular and panel.
  3. Bimetallic heating devices made of two types of metal.
  4. Aluminums of various levels of quality.

The following factors must be considered when selecting batteries for the apartment’s installation:

  • The maximum pressure in the central heating system in the local heating system, and the possible limit, for which the attracted radiators are designed..
  • The maximum temperature and features of the composition of the coolant in the system, as well as the endurance of radiators to these influences.
  • The material of the manufacturing of devices and its main physical characteristics.
  • Design design of batteries.
  • The required radiator power – on the basis of this parameter, the number and size of the sections necessary for effective heating of the premises are calculated. These calculations are made based on the recommendations of construction standards and rules, and can be carried out in various ways, which in the article will be described later.

To start, here is a brief table that describes the primary types of heating radiators in an informative yet concise manner. Now let’s take a closer look at the primary types.

Types of heating batteries and their main characteristics

Cast iron radiators

Despite being "long-liver," cast iron radiators are still useful today, especially now that they have better qualities and a more refined appearance. There are differences between the batteries produced domestically and abroad that will be discussed a little later. Batteries of both types are presented for sale.

Cast-iron radiators from today can look incredibly sophisticated.

  • The batteries from this material did not lose demand, despite the fact that other, more modern heating devices appeared, primarily due to the technical characteristics of cast iron. It is not subject to corrosion, radiators are not afraid of hydraulic boards, as they have fairly thick walls. Another advantage of cast iron over other materials from which radiators are made today is high heat capacity, that is, the ability to maintain the temperature for a long time, even when the external heating is turned off.
  • It is also positive that cast -iron batteries will perfectly function not only in an autonomous system with high -quality coolant and controlled pressure, but also in the central heating system. True, you should immediately make a reservation about that. That it is undesirable to install them in autonomous systems working with electric boats – operation can turn out to be too overhead in terms of a large electricity consumption.
  • Cast iron radiators, for example, MS 140 500 radiator of the cast -iron characteristics of which are quite suitable for installation in an autonomous heating system of an open type, where the coolant is inevitably saturated with oxygen. For cast iron, this is not scary – the material is not subject to oxygen corrosion.
  • Thick walls of cast -iron heating devices not only longer retain the temperature of the coolant, but also increase the resistance of the batteries to abrasive wear.

A range of cast-iron radiator shapes and sizes

  • If the old batteries had one standard dimensional line, and for the proper heating of the room it was necessary to select the radiator exclusively varying the number of sections, today devices with various power parameters are produced. This expands the possibilities of the integrated selection of the necessary radiators, both by the right power and the design of the premises.
  • In order to install old cast -iron batteries, it was necessary to drive brackets into the wall, which means that it is damaged. Modern batteries are produced both in the hinged version and in the floor, with reliable legs. The latter are simply installed on the floor near the walls, and connected to the heating contours.

A lot of cast-iron radiators are made for floor installation rather than wall suspension.

  • Many modern models of cast -iron radiators will not have to be stained periodically, as it was necessarily with old batteries. They go on sale ready for installation, and already have a treated and painted surface, which is not necessary to refresh the paint in the paint annually. To care for these devices, only a wet soft fabric will be required, which is like a dust from them or erased. You can also notice that the absolutely smooth surfaces of modern batteries are radically different from the rough sections of the old model, so dust is practically not gathering for them.
  • Some cast -iron batteries are produced in very original design styles, which allows them to fit them into any interior, even modern, at least executed under Retro. It is possible to choose heating devices in such a way that they will also become a decorative element of the design of the room, complementing and transforming it.

The primary disadvantage of all cast iron radiators is their heavy weight. The brackets, which you intend to hang them from, need to be firmly fastened to the wall; not all partitions can support this kind of weight. Not to mention that you will undoubtedly need an assistant to raise and hang such a battery.

Cast iron radiators of domestic and foreign manufacturers

Cast iron radiators, both foreign and domestic, are available on the Russian market. European nations, including Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Spain, and others, exhibit their products in a sizable assortment. In certain aspects, these goods differ greatly from Russian ones:

  • Unlike traditional domestic MS-140 or MS-90, foreign products have more smooth, well-processed external surfaces, and original retro variants are decorated with casting in the form of plant relief ornaments.

  • Imported products have higher thermal power with small dimensions. So, for example, with the same heat transfer, the volume of filling with the coolant of the section of the domestic battery is 1.3 liters, and the Czech production is only 0.8 liters. Therefore, this option will be more compact and accurate.
  • Foreign products have internal perfectly smooth cavities, which contributes to normal circulation of the coolant, without high hydraulic resistance, and prevents the formation of dirt and scale deposits on the walls of the canals.
  • Domestic batteries go on sale with primed surfaces and require coloring, and imported ones are immediately ready for installation.

Unfortunately, similar radiators MS-140 are identical in terms of appearance.

  • The “minus” of foreign products is their very high cost, several times higher than the price of Russian -made batteries.

To be fair, I have to admit that we have been progressively establishing the release of more contemporary cast-iron batteries. Additionally, the Minsk Plant of Heating Equipment Plant in neighboring Belarus produces excellent cast-iron radiators of European quality.

In conclusion, given the limitations inherent in them, cast-iron radiators are a good fit for the apartment’s conditions, particularly when connected to the central heating system.

Steel radiators

The designs of contemporary steel radiators are distinct from one another. These heating devices are referred to as tubular or panel devices because they are typically constructed as pipes or panels joined together. You must take into account each kind of battery independently in order to comprehend their features and design.

Panel steel radiators

Panel radiators are made up of two steel sheets that have been stamped to take on the required shape. The pieces are then fused together to form a half panel, and if required, they are fitted with specialized convector elements to direct the heated air in a vertical direction and create a sort of thermal curtain to block out the cold air coming in through the window.

Once all the components have been assembled into the overall structure, the battery is stained. Paint is applied with a unique technology that ensures the coating’s strength and longevity.

The protective paint layer needs to be applied uniformly to ensure that steel batteries last as long as possible. As a result, you should be especially careful about the coating when purchasing this kind of instrument because steel sheets may corrode in weak or damaged areas.

Panel batteries are made to withstand standard pressure produced by the centralized heating system and a coolant temperature of up to 85 to 95 degrees.

There may be variations in the quantity of panels and heat exchanger convector "accordions."

The number of panels and convection heat exchangers in the completed assembly determines the classification scheme for this kind of heating device. The table provides an example:

Type of radiator Design
10 One panel
eleven One panel and one convector
21 Two panels and between them one convector
22 Two panels and between them two convectors
33 Three panels and three convectors

Panel radiators can differ significantly in terms of other dimensions as well as in the number of panels, or the depth of the structure. Their height typically ranges from 200 to 900 mm, while their length can reach up to 3000 mm.

Panel batteries are also made with lateral or lower connections. The location of the heating circuit’s pipe wiring determines the choice of this parameter.

Prior to making a purchase decision, you should educate yourself about the benefits and drawbacks of panel heating radiators.

The following are some advantages of panel radiators:

  • Relative ease of installation of devices in the heating circuit. The radiator has a whole design, and it does not need to be collected from individual sections.
  • Panel radiators are characterized by rapid warming up. A fairly large area of the panel itself and ribs of heat exchangers-convectors contributes to effective heat transfer, so the room warms up quickly enough.
  • Compact size and aesthetic appearance allow you to enter such a radiator in almost any interior.
  • To fill out an autonomous system with panel radiators installed in it, a small amount of coolant will be required.

Panel radiators come with a number of noteworthy drawbacks, such as the following:

  • They are reliable at normal pressure in the central heating system, but are not designed for powerful hydraulic boards, which often occur when the system is filled with the coolant before the start of the heating season. Such a test of a panel may simply not withstand. Therefore, if they are selected for installation in the apartment, it is necessary to use a special device to protect against excessive intra -system pressure – a gearbox that will smooth out the load on the panel, taking a blow to itself.
  • The internal surfaces of the panel often do not have an anti -corrosion coating, although they are directly in contact with the coolant, and the durability of their use will depend on its quality. As you know, in the central heating system, the coolant is very often not of high quality, and may contain very active impurities that contribute to metal corrosion. Therefore, as a rule, the panel appearance of the radiator will not be able to operate in such conditions for a long time, since steel unprotected surfaces of a non -aggressive environment.

The installation of panel steel radiators under central heating in apartment settings is deemed undesirable, based on the previously mentioned factors.

Tubular steel batteries

In contrast to panel radiators, tubular radiators are made up of multiple sections that are welded "tightly" to one another. Since they are bought ready-made and represent a full design from a set number of sections, they also don’t require assembly. Therefore, before purchasing such radiators and taking these factors into account to choose the best model, it is essential to compute the total power required for a specific area in order to ensure effective heating.

Tubular radiators are frequently designed in very complex ways.

Because these batteries are made to withstand intra-system pressures of 8 to 10 atmospheres, installing a gearbox will be helpful because the hydraulic drives can cause emergencies when coolant is poured into the central system.

Because the walls of steel radiators are only 1 ÷ 1.5 mm thick, the coolant heats them quickly, allowing the metal to start transferring heat to the space. It should be highlighted, though, that these batteries’ thin walls are their weak point because they are easily damaged by mechanical means.

Because tubular structures typically have an internal polymeric protective coating, they are more struts to an aggressive environment of low-quality coolant than panels. As a result, they are less vulnerable to corrosion influences and, in turn, have a longer service life under normal system parameters.

There are many, occasionally even "unexpected," dimensions available for tubular radiators. Thus, depending on the required total heat power, their height ranges from 200 to 2500 mm, their depth from 100 to 250 mm, and their width can vary greatly.

Tubular radiators can be floor or upholstered and come in a broad range of design options. Additionally, they are positioned in the center of the space as well as close to the wall and window. Radiators with a height that matches the ceiling height—accounting for the support legs—are installed in the center of the space. When the space needs to be separated into distinct zones in addition to being heated, this option is utilized.

Additionally, the radiator’s height from the floor to the ceiling

  • Some batteries are equipped with wooden panels installed on top, and, in fact, representing a bench intended for different needs, depending on the location of the heating device. For example, if it is installed in the hallway, then it can be used as a stool for training, since it will be convenient to sit on it. In the evening, shoes can be installed on a wooden surface for drying.

A shelf and a pipe radiator

Tubular batteries can be chosen to complement any interior design because they are available in a wide range of colors and unexpected designer varieties.

There are only two primary, but very significant, drawbacks to batteries with a tubular structure that compromise the efficiency and security of the apartment heating system:

  • Low heat transfer, leading to increasing energy costs, if batteries are installed in the autonomous heating system. The design is quickly heated, but it has the property and quickly cool, so the heating boiler will work almost constantly, with small interruptions. Conclusion – to install them in the autonomous heating system of a private house is unprofitable.
  • The elements of the radiator are connected by welding, the seams of which will become a weak place in the event. Therefore, to mount them in the circuit circuit connected to the central heating system is also undesirable. If they are nevertheless selected due to suitable design, then it is necessary to install a gearbox that will take the load from a sharp pressure drop on himself.

In summary, even though they may seem appealing on the outside, tubular steel batteries are not the best choice. Such radiators will increase the risk of emergency situations in the central heating system and result in needless energy costs in the autonomous system.

Aluminum radiators

Although aluminum batteries seem attractive, you must state right away that due to their technical shortcomings, they are not the best choice for installation in a central heating system.

The best option for self-contained heating systems is premium aluminum radiators.

Aluminum radiators are highly favored by homeowners who own homes with independent heating because of their sophisticated look and excellent heat transfer. Aluminum heating devices have a minimum lifespan of 15 to 25 years when operating in an independent system with stable pressure and high-quality coolant; manufacturers typically specify this length of time in the technical passport.

Radiators are built to withstand intra-system pressures of up to 15 atmospheres and coolant temperatures between 80 and 90 degrees. With a capacity of 200 ÷ 210 watts and a weight of 1 ÷ 1.5 kg, each battery has a volume of just 450 ml and excellent heat transfer. A coupling threaded connection is used to fasten sections.

The size of aluminum batteries varies. Therefore, the radiator’s standard distance between its lower and upper axes can be 500, 350, or 200 mm. Devices with a non-standard distance of 700 millimeters or more can be found or ordered if that is what you would like.

A 500 mm intersostean connection and a 573 mm total battery height are depicted in the scheme drawing.

These batteries are composed of silicon additives and aluminum alloy, which are added to the metal in two different ways: casting and extrusion.

Each battery section casts independently when parts are made using casting technology. This is accomplished by pouring a prepared alloy into a specific form. Every seal section is guaranteed by using this manufacturing technique.

Naturally, cast aluminum batteries are better.

  • Batteries produced by casting technology are designed for pressure in the heating system up to 16 atmospheres. During factory tests (crimping), the coolant is usually supplied under a higher load, which reaches 25 atmospheres, which suggests that the manufacturer provides consumers with an additional margin of strength of their products. Cast radiators can have various forms, but basically they have a smooth outer surface that contributes to a higher heat transfer.

Extrusion-based aluminum batteries are less expensive, but they are markedly subpar in every way.

  • The second, the manufacturing method, according to extrusion technology, consists in forming sections by pushing the melt through special duies setting the configuration of products. As a rule, the so -called secondary aluminum acts as raw materials – a product of scrap processing. The quality of the metal is certainly worse, since the composition of the alloy is not so balanced, the presence of impurities is not excluded. Such aluminum is more fragile, more prone to oxygen corrosion.

The finished collected battery is a complete product that comes from the plant. The finished sections are collected in the overall design, which cannot be increased or decreased during operation by building. It’s important to consider that these radiators cannot be repaired when making a purchase. These radiators are obviously not meant for high system pressure, subpar coolant, or the possibility of hydrouches. It is true that these heat exchangers cost a lot less than cast ones.

  • Another type of aluminum radiators is produced, but already with a high degree of purification of the starting raw materials and with anode oxidation of surfaces. They are often called – anode. In the manufacture of the initial alloy, aluminum changes its structure several times – this process is performed to achieve maximum resistance of the material to any type of corrosion. Therefore, such batteries are not afraid of the aggressive environment of any coolant.

The anode radiator sections are assembled using dependable seals and threaded couplings after being formed under pressure using casting technology. These products can be increased in order to achieve the required total heat power, or they can be disassembled, for example, to remove the damaged section.

Anodized aluminum batteries have perfectly smooth interior surfaces, which helps to allow coolant to circulate freely. These radiators have a working pressure of up to 20 ÷ 25 atmospheres, which is significantly higher than that of regular aluminum radiators.

Anode batteries look just like regular aluminum batteries, but they cost a lot more. As a result, it is imperative that you always check the product passport—which is always associated with high-quality products—when making a purchase of these radiators.

All aluminum batteries have similar "pros" and "minuses," which you should be aware of if you decide to install this kind in your apartment.

Thus, aluminum radiator benefits include the following attributes:

  • High heat transfer.
  • Light weight that significantly simplifies the stages of transportation and installation work.
  • The variety of sizes from which you can choose the right.
  • Aesthetic appearance that allows you to "introduce" similar radiators into the interior of any style.
  • Relative safety of operation. When hitting even and smooth aluminum surfaces, it is more difficult to get an injury than, for example, about angular cast iron batteries – this quality is especially important if small children live in the apartment.
  • Aluminum batteries are perfectly “friends” with thermostatic devices – this allows you to accurately adjust the temperature regime. This quality is especially important if an autonomous heating system is created in the apartment, since thermoregulation devices of radiators contribute to saving on energy consumption.

The following elements are thought to be these heating devices’ drawbacks:

  • A high risk of gas formation in the internal channels of the structure (applies to ordinary, not anodized aluminum batteries, cast or extrusion).
  • Possible formation of leaks on sections without the possibility of repair – for extrusion radiators from secondary aluminum.
  • Heat concentration in the ribs of the elements of the device.

It is possible to get around a few potential issues that could arise when aluminum batteries are operating. For example, it is advised to install a unique air discharge for every radiator to prevent gases from building up inside the building.

Overall conclusion: Considering all these drawbacks and the owners’ financial situation, any apartment with an autonomous heating system that has aluminum batteries installed will do. It is advised to only select anodized aluminum radiators if the apartment is connected to a central heating system. These radiators are more resistant to high temperatures, harsh environments, and system pressure drops.

Bimetallic radiators

Nowadays, bimetallic radiators are the most popular kind of batteries available, second only to conventional cast-iron batteries.

Bimetallic radiators are devices with greater adaptability.

These heating devices are constructed using a combined principle, which makes sense given the name: they are assembled from components composed of two distinct materials. As a result, the battery’s exterior is composed of aluminum, which transfers heat at the highest rate possible, and its interior coolant circulation channels are constructed from premium steel alloy, which resists corrosion. Radiators are aesthetically pleasing due to the protective enamel coating on their aluminum external surfaces.

The configuration of the bimetallic radiator device

A bimetallic battery is put together by threading coupling connections between sections that are secured with trustworthy seals.

The reason for these radiators’ dependability and longevity is that their aluminum construction, which conducts heat flawlessly, keeps coolant away from it and acts as a kind of ornamental "casing" for internal steel elements that circulate water or antifreeze for heating purposes. Radiators can tolerate system pressures as high as 35 to 40 atmospheres because internal stainless steel channels are highly resistant to barricade loads.

These batteries’ characteristics enable you to utilize them to the fullest extent possible for central heating contours, or the installation of multi-story apartment buildings. They work well with self-contained heating systems.

By the way, at high pressure and temperature typical of the central heating contours, bimetallic batteries fully exhibit all of their benefits. Such expensive devices might still seem like an excess for autonomous systems.

Due to their superior operational qualities and extended warranty periods, bimetallic batteries are relatively justified in their relatively high price when compared to alternatives made of steel or aluminum. These conditions could be considered the sole disadvantage of these batteries, but they also have many benefits:

  • Bimetallic batteries have high thermal conductivity, so they quickly heat up and give heat to the room.
  • Corrosion resistance significantly extends the period of their trouble -free operation, which can be calculated for many decades.
  • The accuracy of the appearance and compactness of the design allow you to enter radiators into any interior style.
  • This type of radiator has a hardened two -layer external coating, so a large amount of dust is not collected on their surface. Just care for them, since it is enough to wipe them with a damp soft cloth.
  • Radiators have relatively small weight, so their installation is quite simple, and it can be carried out without involving specialists.

It should be mentioned that bimetallic radiators have a very noticeable price difference and are nearly identical to aluminum in appearance. Consequently, they must only be bought from specialist retailers after thoroughly reading the technical manual and the manufacturer’s warranties.

In conclusion, it is safe to refer to bimetallic batteries as universal. They are fully equipped for installation in a centrally heated apartment. Nothing stops them from obtaining them for the independent system, but in those circumstances, their unique benefits might go unadvertised. Investing in higher-quality, more reasonably priced aluminum radiators might be a better choice.

Calculation of the number of sections or the total capacity of radiators

Calculation by basic formulas

As was previously mentioned, there are two methods for determining how many radiators are needed in a separate room: by area or by volume.

It is widely acknowledged that 1 m2 of space with a thermal capacity of 100 W is required to offset the building’s heat loss and provide a temperature that is comfortable for a person.

Thus, the following formula is used to make the calculation:

N is equal to s × 100 / ps.

Where the following meanings are assigned to the symbols:

N is the number of sections of radiators;

S is the room’s area in square meters;

Ps, or the radiator’s single-section thermal power, is listed in the product passport.

The volume of the heated room can be calculated more precisely because in this calculation, the room’s ceiling height is also taken into consideration. For a panel house, the calculation in volume is 41 watts of heating system power per 1 m³, or 34 watts for a brick. The formula gains the following perspective:

H × 41 (34) / pC = N

The formula’s designations remain the same, with the addition that h denotes the ceiling’s height.

Information on selecting an electric boiler might be of interest to you.

Naturally, if the purchase of a non-vegetable radiator—a complete unit—is intended, the section PC—No need—must be divided into its specific power. In other words, this portion of the formula is simply left out. The value that results will indicate how much total radiator capacity is required for this space.

These formulas, however, will only work under typical average circumstances. The minimum winter temperature in the area of residence, the room’s features, the quality of the wall insulation, the number and kind of windows, the presence of a door leading to the street or to the balcony, and other factors should all be taken into account when calculating the radiator based on the area or volume of the room. Furthermore, when calculating thermal power, even the batteries’ placement and the way they are inserted into the heating circuit may be crucial factors.

This article provides a rather complicated calculation formula and a list of all correctional coefficients; it is likely nonsensical. It is preferable to suggest that the reader make use of a handy calculator that already lists the essential dependencies.

Calculation calculator of the necessary thermal power of heating radiators

It will be sufficient to specify the requested data for the calculation. The number of sections in the chosen type of radiator will be ascertained by the calculator. The field containing the proper specific passport power of one section is left inconsistent if the computation is limited to figuring out the total thermal power required for high-quality room heating (for instance, when selecting less attractive models of steel or aluminum batteries).

Therefore, when selecting new radiators for the apartment, it is not worthwhile to cut costs too much because low-quality goods have the potential to significantly worsen living conditions for both apartment owners and their downstairs neighbors. In case of an emergency involving substandard radiators, you might have to shell out a certain amount for new batteries, flooring, and lower apartment repairs.

As such, the decision-making process needs to be handled as rationally as possible. Data regarding the house’s central heating system’s operating parameters should be gathered, and the technical documentation of the purchased radiator should be thoroughly examined. You can only ensure that the apartment has high-quality, dependable batteries that won’t die under any circumstances and that the space is adequately heated by following these recommendations.
