click fraud protection

Cast iron radiators (radiators) as a heat conductor used for a long time.They appeared much earlier than other types of radiators (eg, bi-metal).Manufacturers now offer a fairly wide range of these products.All of them can have a different number of sections and, therefore, differ in the length and width.They are characterized by parameters such as the installation depth.This allows you to select the appropriate option cast iron radiators in every room.

Advantages and disadvantages of cast iron radiators

The disadvantage of this type of battery there are two.

first: quite a lot of weight.This had to change the battery, cast iron, will never forget the "pleasure", which he received when they carry.

Second, limited strength.Such batteries are designed for optimal pressure to 15 atmospheres, while other types of radiators and withstand high pressures.

These benefits include:

  • «reliable» inner surface.Even the most "low-quality" coolant can damage a battery;
  • ability to withstand high temperatures;
  • high corrosion resistance;
  • large dimensions of internal cross-sections, that virtually eliminates the need to clean them;
  • increased wall thickness.This allows the use of cast iron products in open systems.Moreover, in the off-season period, you do not need to fill the water (if conditions require);
  • increased residual heat.Even after disconnecting the battery heating system for quite a long time to "give" the room its heat;
  • long life.

most common models of cast iron radiators are products Cup series.Unlike other types of cast iron radiators require painting after the installation of, as supplied in unpainted form.These radiators can be used with almost any coolant (water, steam).They kept the coolant temperature to 150 degrees.
