Batteries have entered our lives for a long time. Two main options were originally presented – cast -iron and steel. Cast iron batteries have been more popular, which have a number of significant advantages compared to the second option. Cast iron radiators retain heat longer, are much less susceptible to all kinds of deposits, heated much better. Along with a weighty number of advantages, there are a number of significant drawbacks. These include the moment that they are heated well if the coolant in the heating system has a fairly high temperature. Such batteries warm up quite slowly, and their thermal inertia was high. However, over time, aluminum radiators appeared on the market. Aluminum alloys are endowed with structural strength and a fairly high level of thermal conductivity. Thanks to this, it becomes possible to manufacture quite compact radiators from this material. In modern designs, the principle of heating thermal radiation, as well as convection, is combined. A small amount of circulating carrier, low thermal inertia makes it possible to significantly save money estimated for fuel costs. In addition, only aluminum radiators are capable of working with low -temperature operating mode of the heating system.
In the process of choosing an aluminum radiator, it is necessary to pay attention to its power. The main feature of the design is the ability to collect sets from different sections. The assembly of sections is carried out using steel nipples with anti -corrosion coating or stainless steel. During the assembly process, pairnite, rubber or silicone gaskets are sealing. This makes it possible to make the structure airtight. During the assembly process, the inner surface of each part undergoes prolonged anti -corrosion treatment, later, powder enamel is stained.
The cost of an aluminum radiator depends on the manufacturer. For the most part, Italian models are represented on the market, but the radiators of the domestic manufacturer are often found. The domestic option is somewhat cheaper. In addition, it is worth noting that Russian aluminum radiators are adapted to modern heating systems. According to new standards, the presence of manual or automatic air vents is recommended. In addition, it is possible to install a thermostatic valve in order to maintain an optimum air temperature.
