Aluminium radiators : its description , specifications and basic dignity

Advantages and disadvantages of aluminum products

With excellent structural characteristics, aluminum radiators in a relatively short period of time began to be in demand in the market of heating equipment.

main positive aspects of the aluminum panels are:

• low weight that makes them easy to mount and dismount;
• Cost by an acceptable cost of aluminum;
• presence of the thermostat;
• highest, unlike other materials, heat transfer coefficient;
• aesthetic modern look:
• Easy to use, because aluminum construction is very easy to clean without the use of special tools;
• Service is staining the surface of the heat-resistant paint, iethere is no need for regular staining;
• Possibility of retrofitting additional elements, such as thermostatic heads for adjusting the flow of coolant;
• operating period - 20-25 years.

However, along with the positive moments, aluminum radiators still have their drawbacks:

• small convection heat transfer;
• uneven heat distribution as a ribbed surface is always hotter other parts;
• Due to corrosion it is necessary to surface treatment with special anti-corrosion agents.

Design features aluminum panels

aluminum radiators factory production are of two types:

• Neutral designed for operating pressures up to 6 bar;
• Reinforced withstands system pressure of 16 atmospheres.

Moreover, the first type is more suitable for installation in private homes with central heating.

Technology battery manufacturing process is a metal pressing.The result is the finished product - the section with a smooth inner surface coated with a protective film.The outer surface is painted with heat-resistant powder paints in electrostatic field, so the color is very beautiful, as is used in almost all colors.

number of sections in the finished product - from 3 to 15 units, although the standard is a set of 10 sections.

Since the coolant in the heating system is water, and aluminum is strongly exposed to corrosion, it is required to comply with certain rules that affect battery performance:

• alkaline water should be as low as possible;
• A fluid acidity - vary in the range 6-8;
• internal heatsink surface must be treated with a special resin that protects it from oxidation.Therefore, when purchasing a product, always pay attention to the specifications.

basic rules

mounting installation of aluminum panels can be carried out under such schemes:

• consistently applied when connecting to the central heating;
• Parallel is more appropriate, since in this case the section "strung" on the common pipe, but always feasible.

Before starting work, you must be sure to coordinate with ZhEKom and close the central teplopodachu.The next step - dismantling the old batteries and accessories.And only after that you can install the new radiator.

competently produced installation with mandatory observance of safety precautions will ensure safe and trouble-free operation of the heating system.
