Designing heating or planning the replacement of old heating appliances in an apartment or a private house, the owners often think about whether the heating batteries are possible with their own hands. In fact, if you figure it out, the battery connection is a rather time-consuming process and take a long time, but it is quite possible to perform it with your own hands, if you adhere to the instructions and all operations are correct.

It must be borne in mind that on how correctly the interference of the heating batteries is made, the temperature comfort will depend on the house or apartment. It is necessary to explore the wiring options, the methods that the radiators can be carried out correctly heat engineering calculations, To ensure that each connection is made correctly and tightly. If all requirements are fulfilled, all nuances are taken into account, connecting radiators to the system in an apartment or a private house will be successful.

Required preparations

Before starting performing work with your own hands, you will need to do all the necessary preparations and calculations:

• If you are planning heating from scratch, not just change the old aggregates to new, you will need to design and draw on the plan of the building a highway. To do this, you will first need to explore the wiring options and choose the most suitable for your home.
• It will be necessary to perform a heat engineering calculation in order to determine the parameters of heating appliances.

• It will be necessary to think through all ways to control, as well as the possibility of service and repair without disconnecting heating.
• Select the method of lining the radiators to the highway.
• Stock all required tools and consumables.

Necessary information about the heating system - Wiring and connection methods

Before starting work, you should familiarize yourself with what ways are the distribution of the highway and the subtleties that must be considered by performing the connection with their own hands.

Highway heating in an apartment and a private house can be a single-tube or two-pipe:

• A single-tube highway assumes the presence of one contour, according to which the coolant from the boiler is moving through everything heating devices. The disadvantage of this method is the uneven heating of the batteries - the first battery in the chain is much stronger than the latter.
• The two-pipe highway assumes the presence of two contours in the system. One by one is carried out by the supply of hot heat carrier, otherwise - a removal to the boiler of the cooled liquid. Here is a parallel battery and pipeline connection. This method guarantees a uniform warming of all radiators.

If you compare these two types, it is undoubted that the two-pipe layout is much more efficient. However, its installation is much more complicated and more expensive - in some cases a single-tube system, as more economical, more profitable and more efficient.

According to the method of circulating the coolant, the following varieties distinguish:

• Masters with natural circulation - the coolant in the system is moving due to the difference of pressures, which occurs when heating and cooled the fluid. In such a system, the pipeline must be mounted with a slope towards the movement of the fluid.
• C. highway forced circulation - In the system, a circulation pump is used to ensure the movement of the coolant. In this case, more stable operation is ensured, you can choose pipes with a smaller diameter, since the hydraulic resistance is not so important as in the first case. This method is much more expensive, it is more difficult to mount your own hands and it makes you dependent on availability. electrical Energy - With its unauthorized disconnection, heating the house stops. However, it is more effective methodthan natural.

Exist various optionsHow to connect batteries with pipeline:

• Radiators with side connections - eyeliner is performed through the upper and lower nozzles on one side of the unit.
• Radiators with lower connections - the compound is carried out along the lower nozzles with the right and left side of the aggregate. It is believed that radiators with lower connection from the bottom heated is stronger, but this is an erroneous statement. Due to the heat convection, the heating of radiators with the lower way of the eyeliner occurs both along the upper and at the bottom level.
• Radiators with a diagonal connection - a liner to the system is performed through the upper nozzle on one side and the bottom - on the other. With this scheme, the most uniform warming of the device is ensured.

Planning the performance of work with your own hands, you need to remember that in the system of the pipe of the radiator, the lower eyeliner is hidden in the floor - you will have to stick the grooves in which the pipeline will be laid. At the same time, it is necessary to properly heat the contour to avoid heat loss on the heating of the cold space under the floor.

Connecting heating radiators with their own hands

• If we replace the old aggregates, first need to turn off the heating, pull the water and wait for the cooling of the batteries. If the system does not turn off and do not drain the water, there is a danger to get seriously cooled by a hot heat carrier.
• After we managed to turn off the system, we disassemble the old aggregates. For this, we promote each connection to the highway - if the thread is not amenable to heat it. Then we will be able to turn it out due to the temperature expansion of the nut or coupling. If we are talking about cast-iron batteriesIt will be necessary to resort to the services of the assistant, since such products have a very large mass.
• When replacing old devices to new, it is better to save the size of the centers in the new batteries so that it does not have to reinstall the alignment to the heating line. Each threaded connection is cleared and check for damage - if any are detected, cut off the damaged area and cut a new thread with a radiator.

• With the help of an assistant, we put a new radiator to the wall and mark the place where the brackets will be located. After that, each bracket is attached to the wall with a dowel. Pre-calculate the ability of the wall to cope with the load - if there are doubts, we provide additional support with the help of an outdoor retainer.
• Perform a radiator connection with threaded connectionsusing stacks of elastic rubber or paronite. Sealed connection It will save you from premature leaks - in order to ensure the right tightening force, we use a dynamic key.
• Turn on the equipment and follow the lack of leaks and how efficiently the batteries are happening. If everything is normal, work can be considered completed.

Conclusion

By installing new heating batteries in your home, you can make it yourself with your own hands. In order for all operations to perform correctly, you need to competently plan the process, take into account all the subtleties and nuances. If all calculations are fulfilled correctly and the system is designed optimally, you can only diligently implement the entire algorithm - from your accuracy and hardworking will depend warm in your home.

Heating batteries can be connected according to one of three schemes. When choosing, it is necessary to take into account that each has its own pros and cons. As the basis of the choice, there is a diagram of pipe wiring. Diagonal is not used in urban apartments, as they usually have a side connection. However, some home masters and specialists when choosing effective system Prefer diagonal option.

Features of a diagonal connection scheme

If you also wondered why diagonal connection It is most effective, then this option should be viewed in more detail. If we take into account the process where hot air or water is involved, the action will occur in one physical law, which involves the rise of the warm masses upstairs, while the cold go down.

To ensure a uniform heat distribution by volume of the radiator, the coolant across the battery should be distributed. As mentioned above, the lateral connection in urban apartments acts as the main scheme. After all, there is a forced circulation under high pressure. The diameter of the emerging and outgoing nozzles is only 20 mm. Through them, water enters the battery under high pressure, which allows you to evenly and quickly fill the device.

If we are talking about a private housekeeping, where the circulation is natural, the filling of radiators occurs under the influence of the aforementioned physical law. That is why hot streams penetrate through the upper nozzle, pushing cold water Through the bottom exit from the opposite side. Two nozzles are located diagonally, if we consider the device. From here and the connection is followed. The coolant fills the battery gradually, giving heat all over the volume. It is necessary to take into account not only the law of heat transfer, but also a physical law. That is why this scheme is the most efficient.

Features of the implementation of the diagonal scheme

Diagonal connection of the heating radiator you can implement yourself. Works should be started with the preparation of the battery. For this you need to take care of availability:

• heating devices themselves;
• shut-off reinforcement;
• pipes;
• fittings;
• other additional devices by the type of heat meter meters, crane of Maevsky and thermal heads.

At the first stage of the work, the radiator is installed. It is necessary to take into account the rules. This is due to the fact that the effectiveness of heat transfer will depend on them. When the diagonal connection of the heating radiator is used, part of the window opening must match the radiator axis. Up to the top collector from the windowsill, you must observe the distance within 15 cm. As for the floor from the floor to the bottom of the collector, it should be the same. From the wall to the battery it is necessary to put a distance of 5 cm. Error may have a place. If you are talking about the distance to the window sill or floor, the error can reach 4 cm, while the step between the battery and the wall can be increased or reduced by 1 cm.

If you decide to use the diagonal connection of the heating radiator, then there must be some assumptions that affect the intensity of heat transfer. For example, if there is no windowsill, this indicator can be increased by a maximum of 20%. Approaching the battery to the floor will reduce the heat transfer by 7%. To improve the efficiency of heat recovery, professionals are recommended to complement the radiator with a reflective screen, which is installed on the wall. Use for this you can sheet dvp. Or cardboard, each of which is covered with foil. In this case, the heat transfer will be able to increase by 25%.

If you want to achieve proper work Radiator, then go to the implementation and installation with maximum attention. It is important to correctly set the device horizontally. From the distortion you can get rid of using the level. At this stage, it will be important to put markup. As soon as the markup can be applied, you can install brackets.

The screw is used as a fastener, installed on plastic dowels. Today you can meet brackets that have a pine shape. They screw in a dowel of an impressive diameter. Now everything is ready to install the radiator and connect it to the pipeline system.

Complete set of radiator for diagonal scheme

The diagonal diagram of connecting heating radiators necessarily implies a battery package. To do this, it is complemented with which you can lower the air. You need to take care of the presence of metal couplings that are still known as American. They are installed in the nozzle, for this you need to apply threaded metal clutches. The latter are strengthened by the valves, one such an element should have to each pipe. This will allow you to cut off the battery from heating networkIf you encounter the need to repair. The system itself will work in normal mode.

For more information about the diagonal connection scheme

The diagonal diagram of connecting heating radiators in urban apartments is quite rare. However, according to experts, this technique can be used if the number of sections in one battery exceeds 12 pieces. With the bottom side connection, as well as when circulating water under pressure, the pressure will not be able to mask such a number of sections. The extreme will remain a little warm, and there will be no sense from them.

Such a scheme is applied in two-pipe system wiring. The falling circuit must be connected to the upper nozzle, while the reverse is in the lower. If the circulation is forced, the connection can be carried out on the contrary, but in this case you will encounter a decrease in efficiency.

For reference

When the diagonal connection of heating radiators in a private house is used, heat losses Batteries make up 2%. Therefore, in the exercise of thermal calculations, the coefficient is taken in this case, which is 1.1.

Basic types of connection

There is still I. one-sided connectionin which the feed pipe hot water And the breeding pipe will be connected on one side of the radiator. The use of this principle is rational for single-storey buildings. Fits a scheme if you want to connect a long radiator with the number of sections up to 15. But if this parameter is increased, the heating efficiency will decrease, because the last sections will be colder.

Considering the main options for connecting heating radiators, you should also pay attention to lower connectionwhich is suitable for those systems whose pipes are under the surface of the floor. In this case, over the surface there will be a small segment of a pipe that is supplied to the bottom nozzle. The supply tube is installed on one side of the battery, while the discharge - on the other. The disadvantage of this method is essential heat loss, which reach 15%. At the top of the battery can not be warmed completely.

Important to remember

A single-pipe diagonal connection of heating radiators is quite rare, because such a scheme has a significant drawback, expressed in the absence of the possibility of adjusting heat supply. Thus, the user will not be able to adjust the degree of heating of radiators, in some cases this feature is a significant minus. However, the heat transfer is calculated even when creating a heating project, and in the future it must correspond to the specified parameters.

The main advantages of a diagonal connection

A diagonal method is good in that it is possible to provide the highest heat transfer coefficient. This is true if you compare with the rest of the following schemes. In other words, in the case of a diagonal connection, you can provide room with a maximum amount of heat. The diagonal connection of heating radiators in the apartment should ensure the movement of the coolant inside the battery to form a gradient contour.

The effectiveness of this scheme may decrease what will happen when large quantities Sections. But even in this case, their limit number can be 24, whereas with a side scheme this parameter is only 12. This feature You can consider an important advantage, because you can use longer radiators. In the lateral connection, the increase in the number of sections will be accompanied by less effective work Located on the sides of the elements.

Basic Disadvantages

The diagonal connection of heating radiators, the pros and cons of which are described in the article, can also be used by you. An important disadvantage of this scheme is not too attractive design. After all, it is impossible to argue that the additional pipe looks not very aesthetic. It connects the inverse tube and the top nozzle of the radiator, the first of which passes from below. The minus can be considered that not in all city apartments it is possible to provide such a type of connection. After all, during the construction of Soviet high-rise buildings, they strove to minimal consumption of materials, and often not installed a separate bypass.

Conclusion

The diagonal connection of the heating radiator with a single-tube system is even undesirable, but still possible. But at the same time, you must take into account that in order to increase the level of heat transfer, it is important to take into account the increasing coefficient, which sometimes reaches 1.2. Thus, the passport heat transfer must be increased by 20%.

Radiator systems of heating are two species: single-tube and two-pipe.

One-tube requires a smaller number of pipes, but its main disadvantage: different temperatures Heat carrier at the inlet of radiators. It turns out that the one that is closer to the boiler, heats up stronger, the one next is weaker. In the networks of a large length, it may happen that at the last radiator, a completely cold heat carrier comes. This can often be observed on the first floors of high-rise buildings. There is usually a single-tube system, and the coolant is served from the upper floors down.

The figure shows horizontal scheme serial connection Heating radiators, it is also called "Leningrad". For the possibility of repairing on both sides of the heating device, locking cranes are installed. By closing them, you can shoot, change and repair the radiator without stopping the entire system. A similar scheme is often used when connecting batteries. It is simply mounted, and with a small length of heat transfer of each radiator, it is adjusted using needle cranes that can change the intensity of the coolant flow.

A single-tube system is called another "sequential connection of heating radiators"

Two-pipe system - parallel connection Heating devices

Preparation of heating radiators

In any of the systems, radiators can be connected in several ways. Basic exist three.

Diagonal

In this case, most often the flow of the coolant comes from above, the "return" is connected from the bottom. Theoretically, this is considered the most best scheme Connecting radiators. Estimated heat loss for more than 2-5%. It turns out that hot water is more evenly distributed over all sections. In passport data to each section indicated thermal power. So, when testing, it is this scheme.

Diagonal connection - one of the most efficient (which is left)

Sometimes you can meet another picture - when the feed goes downstairs, and the reverse pipeline is connected on top. Although it is a diagonal connection, but with such a procedure for the coolant, the calculated losses will be 20-25%. In some situations, this scheme shows well, and if you have with such a diagonal connection, the entire surface of the product device is more or less normal, then for your system it works.

But practice often refutes the theory. And not always even correct diagonal scheme Connections of radiators of heating turns out to be the most the best option. In single-tube systems with forced circulation, the lower connection is often running better.

Lower

According to the theory of heat loss with this variant large - up to 15-20%. But with a sufficiently large pressure created circulating pump, The entire surface of the radiator from the bottom turns out to be well heated. And all because the vortex flows occur. This part of the heat engineering (the distribution and behavior of the vortex flows) is still not investigated enough, to predict the behavior of these most vortex streams is not yet possible. But the fact remains: in some cases, the lower connection of heating radiators is the most efficient.

The scheme is also popular because, with a hidden gasket, the pipe in the floor is almost imperceptible. But the lower connection options are also two. Saddle - this is when the pipes are connected from the opposite sides. Used usually on section radiators. And it is the bottom connection - when the input and output of the heating panel are at the bottom at a short distance from each other. This connection option is used for panel radiators.

Side or unilateral

Most often, such a type of heating radiators can be seen in multi-storey houses vertical wiring. This is when the risers fall from top to bottom, passing through all the floors. Each floors are connected radiators. More often in this case, a single-tube system (one), but there are two-pipe connections (next to two risers).

This type of heating radiators is medium in losses. They can be 5-10%. It is used often due to the minimum flow of pipes when connected and not bad, in principle, efficiency.

Where to install

With the diagram of connecting heating radiators, they figured out, but it is also important to choose the right place to locate. Traditionally, they are placed under the windows. This is justified from the point of view of heat engineering. The rooms are the largest heat loss through the windows. By installing radiators under them, we create heat vestwhich prevents heat leakage from the room. The radiators located near the entrance doors will be applied.

But it is also necessary to install the radiator, withstanding the recommended distance from the floor and the windowsill. When determining the height of heating devices, it is necessary to proceed not only from the required power, but also from how the battery of this size will be ".

In addition, it is worth considering that closing radiators with decorative screens, hiding them in niches or under the shelves, we also reduce the amount of heat from them.

The best diagram of connecting heating radiators and troubleshooting

All these losses that may occur on heating devices, take into account only on large systems. Connecting heating batteries in a private house in a system with forced circulation (with pump) can be any. On the number of heat given it is if it is reflected, it is completely insignificant. Choose the type of heating radiators, which is most convenient in your case. He will be the best. It is important to correctly calculate the number of sections, and the decrease in heat transfer by 7% or 15% you will not feel: all calculations are taken with a margin, rounding - in the most side. So it is not particularly worried about no reason.

It is necessary to worry about when "batteries do not warm", or heated unevenly. But here you need to consider in each case specific situation: Connection, type of system and wiring. But there are several standard situations in which the reasons are also often standard:

In general situations and causes many. But most often, if earlier the temperature on the device was normal, and suddenly it became cold, the reason lies in a clogged tube or a valve in the overgrown pipe. Check everything, clean. Must earn. If there is no result - call specials. But he will most likely repeat your manipulations.

Weakly warm radiators are one problem. No less uncomfortable feel when indoors are too hot. And it often felt those people who put metal-plastic windows. It immediately becomes very warm, at times, at moderate temperatures "overboard", unbearably hot. You have to open the windows or often to close the valves for the feed. Comfortable such existence is difficult to call. But everything can be fixed.

Adjust the temperature (reduce or increase) the temperature, and not to close in full, can be in several ways. There are needle valves that allow you to change the flow of the coolant manually. You partially overlap the stream, the heat is released less. Frying - the crane opened more - the heat began to stand out more. there is automatic devices - Thermal regulators on the batteries (radiators), they are called "thermocrante", "thermostat", "regulator". From this the essence does not change. By turning the head of this thermostat, you exhibit the temperature you want to support in the room. And the device itself adjusts the coolant stream. The accuracy of maintaining the temperature plus-minus 1 o C.

RESULTS

The heat transfer losses of radiators can affect the incorrectly calculated system or with its large length. If the calculation is true, and the system has a certain power supply, then connect the radiators as it is more convenient. It is much more important to withstand the right bias: the side of the radiator on which the Maevsky crane is installed should be a little higher than its opposite end.

Any modern batteries, whether aluminum, cast-iron or bimetallic, are supplied with four open nozzles to connect to the heating highway. In accordance with constructive features The wiring is selected scheme for connecting radiators with suburban pipes, and the remaining openings are closed with plugs or aircraft cranes.

In this article we will study possible options Installation of batteries and tell what scheme is better in terms of the efficiency of heat transfer.

It's believed that best results Your radiator works can be obtained using a diagonal connection. In order to properly implement this method, you need to connect the input tube to one of the upper inputs, and the return - to the bottom from the opposite edge. Then the coolant will circulate by optimal route, capturing the largest part of the surface of the heating device.

Such a combination is particularly effective if the radiator consists of big number (more than 10) sections. All other types of connections in this case will noticeably lose.

Therefore, the diagonal connection is considered reference, and all manufacturers indicate the parameters of their equipment relative to this version of the heating device.

The disadvantages of the method under consideration can be attributed:

• high pipe flow in the system;
• the inability to hide communications in the wall or in the box;
• complex layout geometry;
• uncomfortable installation.

A diagonal scheme is used in cases where the main requirement is the maximum heat transfer, and the considerations of aesthetics and design are departed into the background. By virtue of the uneconomicness and complexity of wiring, in multi-storey houses this method of installing radiators is practically not used.

Lower connection

In contrast to the diagonal, the lower method of connecting the batteries does not allow optimizing the system of heating in terms of performance, but it provides the ability to make a radiator with almost imperceptible.

Such a compound (it is sometimes called Leningradka), due to the peculiarities of passing the coolant between the input and output collector, reduces the efficiency in the system by 10-15%. And so tangible these losses become only in apartment houses With a high length of the highway.

If you plan to install a radiator in own home (Especially single-storey), the lower connection scheme will be an excellent option.

The upper part of the battery is heated worse than the bottom, especially it becomes noticeable when clogging or bringing the inner cavities. In these cases, cleaning and removal of air is required with the help of cranes of Maevsky.

Side scheme

Most often, the radiators of the heating system, especially in apartment buildings, are mounted on the side scheme. Its essence is that both highways are suitable for the battery on the one hand.

Benefits side Connection:

• high efficiency;
• convenient installation;
• savings on pipes;
• the possibility of organizing bypass between highways to install regulatory reinforcement.

If you compare the diagonal and side wiring together, the advantage is worth paying the latter, since the difference in efficiency is only a few percent, and the benefits of the lateral connection are obvious.

The diagonal scheme starts to win, if you need to connect the radiator with large quantity Sections or organize a sequential location of several powerful batteries. A proper understanding of these features will help optimally distribute radiators in the system.

Radiator location

The radiator is best installed under the window. This well-known rule is explained very simple: it is there that the heating battery will create best conditionsSupplementing cold air to the room.

In the urban apartment window and doors are the most important sources of heat loss. In private houses, as we have already noted, the roof and floor are added to them. Battery under the windowsill will create a veil of warm air, which is known to strive up when heated, and does not let the cold inside.

If there are several windows in the room, it is better to distribute radiators between them and connect them successively. Also, experts recommend putting several heating points into corner rooms.

The following tips will help properly place the radiator:

• The distance of the battery to the floor and the windowsill must be at least 10 cm. In otherwise The effectiveness of her work will decrease, and under it will be inconvenient;
• You should not deepen a radiator toward the wall, it is better to leave a gap of about 5 cm;
• When using decorative protective screens, the efficiency of radiators is reduced by 10-15%.
• From the point of view of heat transfer, the advantage has aluminum radiatorsBut in urban apartments it is better to install bimetallic products.

And one more important moment: independently change the scheme of connecting radiators, their connection between themselves or install stop valves in the absence of bypass in apartment buildings is prohibited. All alterations in the heating system must be coordinated with the management company.

Installation of radiators

An independent installation of radiators will not cause problems in the heating system in the future, if you correctly fulfill all the requirements for such work and ensure the tightness of all compounds. In addition, some types of batteries require accuracy when contacting: aluminum and bimetallic radiators Have a pretty soft outer case, which can be easily mounted when hitting.

The installation process is performed in the following order:

1. Remove old radiator (If necessary). Naturally, the heating highway should be blocked at the same time;
2. Location Place Installation. Radiators are usually hanging on a special bracket that is attached to the wall. Fasteners are most often designed for concrete or brick walls. If you want to hang the radiator on a soft wall, for example, from drywall, you need to use special dowels. Aluminum I. bimetallic batteries Do not create dangerous loads for such a wall, but the cast-iron version is better not to use here. The bracket must be installed so that the radiator is based on the requirements described in the previous section;
3. Now you need Collect battery. To do this, in all four mounting holes, screw the adapters that are included in the kit. Usually two of them have the left thread, and two are right, so you need to show attentiveness. Further, depending on the connection scheme, unused collectors drown out, one crane of Maevsky, and the other is a special stopping cap. All locations are thoroughly sealing;
4. To prevent water flow in places of compounds, we lay the plumbing flax. Fuma tape is better not to use here. Len need to get out correctly: for the right thread clockwise, and for left - in the opposite direction. In this case, when screwing into the threads of the connected elements, the flax will not be knocked out from under them. For reliability, the connection can be additionally sealing. special means, for example, unipak paste;
5. Confasing the places of trunk pipes ball Valves . They will allow to remove the radiator for cleaning and maintenance, without stopping the work of the entire system;
6. Now it remains only hang the radiator on the bracket And connect the supplied pipes to it. Connection locations Sealing according to the above algorithm.

So, we looked at all possible species Connecting heating batteries. If you are only planning a system structure for your own housing, you can choose the most appropriate scheme. If you live in an urban apartment, you have no such freedom. In any case, the understanding of the principles and features of the connection of radiators will allow you to independently serve and install heating devices in my house.

The main function of any heating system is the heating of the room. Each element of such a system, ranging from the boiler and ending with batteries in the longest room, must be connected and spread so that their heat transfer levels is close to the maximum. In the system of connecting radiators, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of each room as the location of the pipes, their length, as well as the total number of heating devices.

How to choose a place

Heating in the house works simultaneously in two directions:

• Warming up the room
• Preventing cold air movement.

That is why the connection of heating radiators in a private house is a rather complicated process, the comfort in the room will depend on the correctness of which.

Video 1 Heating Battery Connection Guide

Most often, the battery is located under the windowsill, for this you need to withstand a certain distance:

• Between the wall and the battery - from three to five centimeters.
• Between the floor and radiator - at least 10 centimeters.

In addition, the battery should not be completely located under the windowsill - if it is too wide, the heating instrument should be pulled forward using special attachments for this.

In cottages or houses most often, batteries are placed in two versions - this is a single-tube and two-pipe connection method. It is worth considering each of them in more detail to choose the most optimal one.

One-pipe scheme

Methods for connecting heating radiators in a private house include the easiest - this is a single-tube method by which all batteries are connected in series using one pipe. It goes from the heating boiler to the first radiator, then to the second, third and so on. There is another option of such a connection - a solid pipe, to which radiators are joined by risers and reverse movement pipes. In the first version of the scheme, one of the radiators cannot be blocked, without stopping the heat supply to others. The advantage of the method is the savings of materials, minus - a big difference in heating the first radiator from the boiler and the radiator in the longest room.

Video 2. Single pipe system radiator heating

Two-pipe scheme

The way to connect heating radiators in a private house according to such a scheme is somewhat more complicated. The system consists of several heating batteries, which are connected to each other parallel. In this case, the delivery of hot water is carried out on one pipe, and the return on the other. This method is most suitable for heating a private house or cottage, since the degree of heating in this case is almost identical in all rooms, it can be adjusted using a convenient thermostat.

When the radiators are placed, it is necessary to take into account how designed heating systemIn particular, if the movement of the coolant provides a pump, problems in this case are much smaller, but there is a dependence on energy carriers.

Video 3 How to connect a radiator to a two-pipe heating system

Much more often meet natural circulation, that is, a hot heat carrier, most often this water, climbing up, pushes its weighing cold. In this case, the heating system does not depend on the energy carriers, but to design a similar scheme is necessary only to those skilled in the art, which will explore the total length of pipes, specificity, the number of heating elements, as well as the number of sections in radiators.

In short, if the goal is to provide high-quality heating at home, it is necessary to take into account all the features of a particular object, and the process of entrusting to professionals.
