Options for heating wiring in a private home

heating wiring in a private home with your own hands can be done in two ways: one-pipe and two-pipe.

Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and you need to pick up the system individually, based on the characteristics of your home.

In this article we analyze kinds of systems, compare their pros and cons, especially the installation.

You get schemes that will help you in creating a layout of the heating system with their own hands, without attract expensive specialists.

single-tube method for distributing

-pipe distributing water heating is the following set of routing lines: devices of water heating are installed in successionother and form, thus, a long tube - what it looks like, you will understand the scheme.

Single-pipe system

coolant in such a system is the antifreeze or water - liquid alternately enters the radiators, which are closing link chain, and its heat, which is then used for home water heating.

Thus, the circuit system is to supply water in the boiler tubes with a radiator.

disadvantage of this device is that in closing the radiator water comes already cold.

However, this can be avoided by modifying the system - for example, to do more in the final sections of the battery (use the diagrams for clarity).

With this arrangement, a single-tube version is quite effective.

-pipe water heating scheme is best suited for two-storey house, asin a house with one floor could be a problem with the placement of the booster reservoir, which is necessary for high-quality design work.Upper manifold

needed to accelerate the flow of heat from the pipes to the radiators, as well as to maintain the desired temperature and reduce noise during operation.

The effectiveness of the work depends on how high will be placed collector - which is why its installation is much more efficient for the two-storey house.

all these problems disappear for two-storey house: the collector will operate quietly and efficiently to maintain the heat indoors.

collector one-pipe heating system appears as a continuation of tubes, but at the top of the heating system it connects to the expansion tank.

-pipe distributing inexpensive, and it is one of the main advantages in its favor.The low price is maintained due to the fact that single-tube wiring does not require a large number of pipes.

Another advantage of this design is that it can be laid even in difficult places, such as under doorways.

Easy installation and attractive appearance - two other factors in favor in order to establish such a system in your home.

However, single-tube wiring water heating has drawbacks: in order to replace the defective items, you have to completely turn it off, and heating unevenness - the distance from the battery to the heating boiler depends on the quality.

However, as has already been written, if somewhat streamlined design, as well as the right to install it, it will be deprived of such shortcomings.

mounting system can be done in several stages, they differ depending on the scheme.

most favorable option - installation of all system components (boiler, wiring, heating duct) is completely inside the house when it starts at the feed point and ends at the boiler.

Connecting pipes with pipe system can be of two types: the diagonal and lower-through.

first type of connection is chosen more often becauseit is most effective.

In addition, the house you want to install an expansion tank (most often it is placed in the attic of a two-story house), that should be connected to the wiring, water supply and sewerage system.

diagram will help you get it right.

Driving a horizontal pipe system

For the two-storey building has its own peculiarities of installation.

-pipe scheme in this case should include radiators on each floor, and the number of sections in them, and their total number should be approximately equal to the temperature was comfortable in all areas of the two-story house.

Another, simpler option to execute their own hands - to put a door on a flight of stairs - it will cover the connection between the floors of the house.

This option is not very beautiful, but easy to implement and quite effective.

Learn scheme is established in a single pipe layout for the two-story home, then you will be easier to decide which option is right for your building.

-pipe method of wiring

-pipe layout can be less effective than a single pipe.

This method is suitable for heating a single-storey and two-storey buildings and is characterized by the fact that you can change the temperature in any room, without affecting the rest of the house.

main difference between the two-pipe system - forward and reverse coolant are separated from each other.

Two-pipe system

Receipt of hot water in the system is done by feeding the pipe through which the fluid enters the radiator, floor (if you equipped with floor heating), etc.

liquid is then discharged through the return pipe after it has cooled.

The advantages of this type of wiring the following: You can easily adjust in any radiator coolant will flow, the device of the system is possible in the home with any number of floors, the possibility of long-haul system devices.

one main drawback - two-pipe routing is more expensive than a single pipe, asIt includes twice as many tubes.Another drawback - the two-pipe circuit is not as pretty as a single pipe.

With this type of wiring, the location of the pipes should be held higher than the radiators are located - most often they are placed near the ceiling or window sill.

This means that to hide the presence of the pipe will not be easy.

How does the two-pipe arrangement, will help you understand the scheme.It is made using natural or forced air circulation, as well as a single pipe.

choice depends on what kind of cabling is installed in your home.

If wiring from above, pipe-laying is only possible at high altitude - typically from the ceiling - giving the necessary pressure for the normal passage of the coolant and its admission to the radiator and does not require the installation of the pump.

Top routing pipes looks better, becauseless visible - they can be installed above the doorway and close decorative elements - this will give the maximum masking pipes.

Minus upper wiring is that, in addition to the installation of the pipes, you will need to install a diaphragm expansion vessel - it is possible to perform with his own hands, but will require you to more money.

with under-floor heating system

For the two-storey house can be mounted open container, but place it will be possible only in the attic, that is,at the highest point of the building.

Bottom routing implies that the location of the pipe has to be below the level of the window sill.

This method is more difficult to implement, because, in addition to the installation of the pipes, you will need to establish an open expansion tank - it should stand higher than the straight tubes (see layout).

also have to install a circulation pump.For the convenience of the system with the lower wiring circuits pipes usually divided into two wings, each of which has a presence in both direct and inverse pipe.

How are different types of wiring will help you understand the scheme.

Radiation wiring heating

For the two-storey house, as well as buildings with more floors, when laying pipes on walls impossible, suitable radiation distributing water heating.

In this case, the pipe-laying will take place on the floor, and distribute hot water for hot water heating in individual circuits of the boiler, which are part of the radiators and provide warmth.

Radiation wiring system has the following advantages: the coolant is evenly distributed to all radiators, heat does not depend on the proximity of the boiler and can be regulated in each room separately from the others, an opportunity to repair the system without disconnecting it.

radiotherapy system

Therefore beam system is a frequent choice of homeowners, especially when it comes to two-storey house.

Among the shortcomings can be noted: radiation collector wiring is always double-pipe, which makes it quite expensive installation, because you will need twice as many tubes.

This arrangement is also known as a collector, becausethe main element of the system - manifold which distributes the coolant to each circuit, starting from the main thoroughfare.

to beam routing to work properly, you need to collector system was equipped with two different types of collectors - the input and output.

Radiation layout has some aspects of an installation, for example, can not be laid on top of the pipe cement screed or decorative panels, they can bring the system down.

To monitor the operation of the system is best installed on a special wiring system shut-off valve or sensor.

As you can see, the heating wiring in a private home can be done in different ways.Compare types of systems and schemes and select the one that best suits your home.
