When arranging heating, it is important to choose all the components to ensure correct and efficient system operation. This is especially true of radiators whose choice is huge on the market.

Many experts recommend buying a bimetallic heating radiator due to its characteristics, so it is worth considering this type of equipment in detail.

Basic information

Products have obtained their name through the use of two metals in the structures. This gives a huge advantage in finished systems, the positive characteristics give the properties of materials. It is due to the combination, bimetallic radiators are considered the best on the market.

Design

The design assumes the presence of steel or copper pipes with an aluminum case. Pipes made of copper or steel rod provide long-term operation of the instruments and the system as a whole. And the properties of aluminum make it possible to quickly heat the room due to heat transfer rate.

For centralized heating, this option is ideal due to the quality of the water supplied in the system and frequent pressure drops. Long exploitation is possible due to the strength characteristics of the metal, copper and steel are reliable in the case of hydrowards, in modern systems they reach 40 atm. The practicality of bimetallic radiators allows you to ensure the warranty service life of the system up to 20 years.

Advantages of products

Bimetallic heating radiators have many advantages compared to other types of batteries. These include:

• resistance, cast iron equipment can withstand the pressure of about 20 atm. At the same time, steel or copper pipes ensure reliability of work even at 40 atm in the system;
• high heat transfer rates, even cast iron radiators are significantly inferior in this characteristic;
• in the manufacture of radiators, from the inside the pipes are processed by anti-corrosion composition, which gives a long-term service guarantee even when working with severely contaminated liquid;
• suitable for use in centralized and autonomous systems;
• installation can be carried out without the involvement of specialists, the simplicity of the process is available to the home master. This contributes to the economies of finance and time, because just just a few hours to install the system;
• manufacturers produce bimetallic radiators of various designs, who wish the exclusive decoration in the interior are enough to go through specialized stores.

Classification

By type of construction, two types of appliances are separated:

• sectional, which are distinguished by ease of use. Their feature is the possibility of installing the necessary number of units, so they are ideal for applying various purposes. Depending on the required heating area, the radiators of the required length are mounted. Manufacturers produce separate sections of various shapes and colors;
• convectors are suitable products, consist of a single housing with an mounted pipe. Due to the provided additional plate welded to the pipe, the heat transfer coefficient increases.

Criterias of choice

Before buying, each person to the goods makes its demands, so there is no such thing as the best bimetallic radiators. For some, the moment of saving, other preferably the quality of the instruments is important. Among ordinary consumers, radiators with internal details consisting of steel are considered popular models. They are characterized by high heat transfer due to the location of the details. In this case, manufacturers promise service life of about 50 years.

But the main criterion for choosing radiators remain the technical characteristics of bimetallic heating radiators, which are attached to each model separately. Before purchasing, a simple calculation is performed to determine the required power and size of the equipment. For this take into account the parameters of the room and the location of the openings. In Russia, 1 m2 of the heat transfer should be at least 100 kW, as a rule, 180 kW goes from one section. Accordingly, in the room of 20 m2 it is worth purchasing 10 sections.

Market offers

There are a wide selection of products for heating systems, the price of bimetallic radiators may differ depending on the quality of the product and the manufacturer. Radiators from Italian manufacturers are considered the most reliable devices.

The Italian company Global Style has long been operating in the construction market, over the years of work has already gained the confidence of buyers. However, for reliability and quality will have to pay accordingly, the sectional models of the standard species cost about 1000 rubles per unit. For example, for the STYLE EXTRA 350 you need to give at least 1015 rubles, and the price of 1030 rubles per section.

The company from Italy Sira represents good bimetallic radiators on the market, the manufacturer's warranty is 15 years. The Sira Gladiator H200 model is a bit cheaper, the price for one section is about 800 rubles. Radiator Bimetal Sira Concurrent 500 x 85 worth 700 rubles also has a worthy quality and a lot of good reviews.

Equipment from the German company TENRAD is represented by TENRAD radiators VM350 and VM500, worth 500 and 600 rubles, respectively. Experts recommend using them in various types of systems, due to high heat transfer is achieved efficient operation of heating.

European design and high product characteristics offers Chinese manufacturer GORDI, for 400 rubles you can purchase one section. Complete offers from 5 to 14 units.

Rifar's Russian manufacturer offers consumers worthy products, which is represented by a type of seven models. Rifar Monolit line has a price of about 600 rubles / section, while the quality of the products allowed us to go beyond the market framework.

The company from Ukraine Mirado for high quality products exhibits a price of about 450 rubles. For example, Mirado 500 is designed to work at a pressure of 30 atm, it is recommended to apply for a centralized system. The cost of one section is 400 rubles.

Which manufacturer choose or decide on the model will help the consultant in the store. However, information on popular representatives will be a good guideline among the huge range of goods. After all, each consumer wants to obtain the effective and durable system as a result.
