The manufacturer recommends the installation of steel panel radiators exclusively in closed heating systems. Nevertheless, customers often contact us with questions, such as: Is it possible to install Radiators Kermi FKO 22 in the apartment? However, it is not possible to answer unequivocally here, we will explain why below.

Kermi is a well-known manufacturer of panel and design radiators, heated towel rails, regulators and other components for heating systems. For more than 55 years, the manufacturer has become an innovator in this area and has managed to earn the love and trust of customers. And not even thanks to the sensational Therm x2 technology, but rather because of the high quality of products, long service life and, most importantly, the ultra-durable and environmentally friendly coating of radiators.

The most demanded and popular model is a radiator Kermi 22 500 500... It is distinguished by optimal technical parameters for heating a medium-sized room and an affordable price. Many people prefer Radiators Kermi 22 type with bottom connection, since this design allows you to hide communications in the floor.

Steel radiators in general and this model in particular are not intended for use in central heating systems. There are several reasons for this:

1. Steel Radiators Kermi 22 demanding on the quality of the coolant, i.e. it should contain the smallest amount of oxygen (up to 20 μg / dm3). If it is possible to track this factor in an autonomous heating system, then in the central system it remains to hope for the conscience of the housing and communal services organization supplying water. Untreated water leads to corrosion and leaks.
2. The product is designed for a maximum pressure in the system of 7-10 atm. In the central system, it just reaches these parameters. But with constant operation at maximum load, any equipment becomes unusable faster. Thus, the service life Radiator Kermi Type 22 will be much lower than autonomous.
3. The maximum temperature of the coolant for which the Kermi brand steel radiators are designed is 110 degrees. This factor is also easy to control in the heating system of a private house.

When equipping a heating system in a house, special care should be taken in the selection of batteries. And here several criteria should be taken into account: material and design, power and heat transfer, operating pressure, weight and design of the device.

When choosing, the consumer takes into account, first of all, a high heating rate, durability of operation, low cost, safety and ergonomics. Kermi radiators fully comply with all these indicators.

Equipment features

The base of the battery consists of two steel sheets, welded together, and vertical channels for the circulation of the coolant. An important feature of radiators is the presence of a side panel and an upper grille for each manufactured model, regardless of the class and parameters of the product.

Such design features greatly facilitate the operation and maintenance of the installed element of the heating system.

Main characteristics

Given the wide range of models, the technical characteristics of individual groups may differ, but there is also a set of basic parameters inherent in all models:

• working pressure of panels - 10 atmospheres;
• power from 200 to 6500 W;
• the possibility of using a heating medium with a maximum temperature of 110 ° C;
• side or bottom connection type;
• efficiency factor is not less than 97%.

Advantages

High efficiency of heat transfer is provided due to the design features of the direction of the coolant flow. Kermi radiators are tested and pressurized under a pressure of 13 atmospheres, which allows them to be used in any system of individual and. Despite being able to withstand temperatures above 110 ° C, the panels perform well over a wide range of media temperatures.

Kermi heating radiators warm up to the set temperature much faster than ordinary radiators. Powerful convection, minimal heat loss, long path of the coolant flow can reduce energy consumption for heating by up to 11%.

disadvantages

It must be remembered that Kermi steel panel radiators cannot remain without a coolant for a long time, as they are not sufficiently protected against corrosion. Therefore, at the end of the heating season, it is worth taking care of the reliable preservation of the panels. At the next start-up, it is recommended to supply the flow with a limited flow, so as not to subject the radiator to unnecessary loads.

Unique technology

A distinctive feature of the battery is the uniform warming up of the room in a short period of time. At the same time, the energy consumption of the equipment is significantly lower than that of other devices. This is due to the innovative Therm X2 technology, according to which Kermi radiators are arranged. In such devices, the panels are interconnected in a sequential manner.

Uniform heating of the room

The heating medium first fills the front plate and only then enters the back plate. This principle allows not to give off heat to the wall adjacent to the back plate. Under normal conditions, the heat dissipation of the front panel is sufficient to effectively heat the room. When the demand for heat increases, the rear panel is connected.

Varieties of devices

Today, several different types of heaters are produced, here are the main ones:

• flat;
• design radiators;
• decor radiators;
• heating walls.

Flat

By type, the surface can be smooth or profiled. Profile-type steel panel radiators Kermi have a high heat output, which is an excellent solution for buildings in climatic zones with low temperatures.

The devices are available in two types: compact and profile-valve. Compact products do not allow manual temperature changes.

The second type is equipped with a special valve with which you can regulate the temperature of the coolant in the battery.

Design radiators

Kermi from this series serve not only as a heating device, but also as decorative elements of the room. Such models are designed to emphasize the overall style of the interior, create coziness and a unique atmosphere.

A significant disadvantage of such devices is the high price, in addition, they are not suitable for small rooms. The best option would be to use designer models in studio apartments.

Decor radiators

An original solution that combines space heating and a sophisticated look. With the help of a decorative Kermi radiator, you can not only organically fit the heating device into the interior, but also decorate the room. Manufactured using technology without visible welds.

Heating walls

An unusual solution that allows the use of a steel panel radiator Kermi on any type of surface: vertical or inclined. Such equipment is preferable to use in buildings with unusual architecture or large premises: hall, lobby, etc.

Connection type

The battery can be connected in three ways:

1. bottom;
2. lateral;
3. universal.

If a bottom-connected appliance is connected to the system from the wall side, an angled connector kit is used, and a straight one from the floor side. The installation kit includes a built-in valve for adjusting the operation of the equipment. The built-in thermostatic valve allows the room temperature to be adjusted automatically.

The technical characteristics of the side type allow connection to the system only from the side of the wall. The top is the supply of the coolant, and the bottom is the return.

The steel panel radiator Kermi with side connection is also equipped with a thermostatic valve.

Household heating radiators presented in our catalog are divided into three types: aluminum; steel and bimetallic sectional batteries.

To help you with the choice, we will tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of each type:

Aluminum heating radiators are very popular among owners of private houses and apartments. They have excellent heat dissipation, light weight and attractive design. The biggest drawback of aluminum batteries is their sensitivity to the chemical composition of the coolant, which makes them unsuitable for use in high-rise buildings with a central heating system, where salts and additives added by public utilities to prevent blockages of risers enter the heating system along with water. Also, during operation, hydrogen is released, which can lead to airing, which means that the design must necessarily have valves to bleed excess air.

Steel panel radiators can be used even at low temperature of the heating medium, are durable, energy efficient and differ in size. However, the pressure in them is usually low, which makes them unsuitable for use in high-rise buildings with a central heating system (at a standard level of pressure in the system). But they are ideal for an apartment with autonomous heating.

In bimetallic radiators, all surfaces in contact with water are made of steel, and the elements responsible for heat transfer are aluminum. This combination of materials provides excellent heat transfer, the ability to maintain high pressure in the system, and corrosion resistance. Bimetallic batteries are not demanding on the quality and chemical composition of the coolant, they are ideal for apartments in high-rise buildings, and will last a long time. The main disadvantage of such heating radiators is the price.

All models in the catalog are wall-mounted and should be located 7-10 cm from the floor, 10-15 cm from the windowsill and 3-5 cm from the wall. The efficiency of the heating device largely depends on the correct location.

What to consider when choosing

Before you buy a heating battery, you should take into account that for heating 1 sq. M. rooms with a height of 3 m require 80 - 100 W of heating power. Thus, the power of the heating batteries in such a room should be 10% higher than the calculated one. If the room has large windows, then the power should be 20% higher than the calculated one.

We have established recommended retail prices for radiators, which are broadcast to us from manufacturers. When making a purchase in our store, you can count on free home delivery within Moscow within the Moscow Ring Road, as well as on inexpensive delivery to the cities of Russia to the warehouse of a trading company or a pick-up point. Also, having decided to buy a heating radiator for your house or apartment in VodoParad, you can count on a manufacturer's warranty of at least 5 years.

The heating system often requires heating radiators (radiators). It is they who carry out heat exchange between the coolant and the air in the room.

The company website offers a wide range of heating radiators that are used in centralized and private heating systems:

● steel panel;

● tubular;

● bimetallic;

● aluminum.

In order to select the optimal batteries for a specific heating system, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of each type.

Panel heating radiators

Panel heating radiators are distinguished by their ability to work with all types of heat carriers. The absence of gaskets and unnecessary connections in their design guarantees a low probability of leaks during operation.

The selection of the power of panel batteries is carried out not only on the basis of their length and height, but also their depth. This is due to the fact that each model has a different number of heating elements and fins.

In the online store site, panel heating radiators are represented by several brands: Kermi, Rifar, Buderus, Vogel, Korado.

Features of panel radiators Kermi

Kermi heating batteries are two plates with vertical channels squeezed out inward, intended for the passage of the coolant. To increase the efficiency of heat transfer, some models of radiators have additional fins on the outside.

A distinctive feature of Kermi panel radiators is the specific path that the coolant takes. So, first it goes to the front of the panel and only then to the back. Due to this, a quick and uniform heating of the room is ensured, where batteries from a well-known German brand are installed.

Panel radiators Buderus

German Buderus radiators are distinguished by a wide variety of models, which are designed for both side and bottom connection. Everyone can buy a Buderus panel radiator, regardless of the heating system used (one-pipe or two-pipe).

The production process of Buderus heating batteries is fully automated, which guarantees the high quality of the finished product and its compliance with GOST standards.

The website catalog contains models of panels with a length from 40 cm to 300 cm and a height from 30 cm to 90 cm.

Panel radiators Vogel

Among the manufacturers of radiators, Vogel is distinguished by the unusual design of its products. Vogel panel radiators are assembled exclusively from high quality steels, which guarantees their reliability and efficient operation. And to provide additional corrosion resistance, Vogel batteries are treated with a special compound inside.

Panel radiators Korado

Corado heating batteries of Czech origin. They are designed to work exclusively in closed systems, where the operating pressure of the coolant does not exceed 10 km / cm 2. At the same time, the design of the radiators is such that it provides maximum air permeability.

In the online store, the site contains models of Korado panel radiators with both bottom and side connections to the heating system. In addition, the range includes batteries from one- to two-panel designs.

Tubular heating radiators

Tubular radiators are a classic option. Their construction is made of steel pipes welded together. Tubular radiators are an optimal alternative to aluminum counterparts. They can also be used in most heating systems: closed, open, low temperature. A similar result is achieved due to the use of special steel in the manufacturing process, which, with a thickness of 1 mm, is capable of withstanding an operating pressure of up to 12 kgf / cm 2. Therefore, tubular radiators can be installed both in private houses and in apartments with a centralized coolant supply.

On the website of the online store site you can buy tubular heating radiators in Moscow from the manufacturers Arbonia, Zehnder Charleston and Irsap Tesi.

Tubular radiators Arbonia

The Arbonia range of radiators represents products that are perfect for use in apartments or private houses, schools, restaurants and other public places.

The width of one section of the Arbonia tubular radiator is 4.5 cm, and the number of pipes is from 2 to 6. The upper and lower manifolds are made of pressed steel. The height of the batteries ranges from 18 cm to 3 m.

Depending on the connection method, Arbonium tubular heating batteries are bottom and side.

Tubular radiators Zehnder Charleston

Tubular heating batteries Zender are the first radiators of this form factor. The debut models of the devices were released in 1930.

Zehnder Charleston tubular radiators are produced in five versions, the difference between which is in the number of heated pipes per section: from 2 to 6.

The minimum battery length is 9.2 cm, and the maximum is 3 m. At the same time, their height starts from 19 cm and ends at 3 m. Such a significant range of dimensions of Zehnder Charleston tubular radiators allows everyone to choose the right model for specific operating conditions and heating system.

Tubular radiators Irsap Tesi

Irsan Tesi heating batteries are presented exclusively with a side connection type, which entails some restrictions on their installation. The radiator sections have a traditional width of 4.5 cm for this type of device. The height of the batteries has a limited range: from 36.7 cm to 56.7 cm.

By default, Irsap Tesi tubular radiators are painted in white enamel, however, the manufacturer, on request, produces models in any color range of the RAL standard.

The maximum operating pressure for Irsan Tesi heating batteries is 10 kgf / cm 2, which is quite enough for both centralized and individual heating systems.

You can buy tubular radiators in Moscow at a bargain price in the online store kermi - fko .ru.

Bimetallic heating radiators

A bimetallic type of radiators is made of two metals: a steel core and an aluminum alloy shell. The first material helps the battery to withstand increased pressure, which in multi-storey apartment heating systems reaches 12 kgf / cm 2. Aluminum alloy is an excellent conductor of thermal energy from the coolant to the room air. Bimetallic radiators are highly resistant to corrosion and various chemical elements.

Rifar bimetal radiators

Domestic heating batteries Rifar are manufactured using a unique patented welding technology. It provides high reliability and durability of the structure. At the same time, the price of panel radiators in Moscow is significantly lower than their foreign counterparts, because production facilities are located in Russia.

You can familiarize yourself with the full range and buy Rifar panel heating radiators in Moscow in the online store website.

Due to the sectional design of bimetallic batteries, it is allowed to change the number of sections directly during their installation.

Radiators Global (Heating batteries Global)

Bimetallic heating batteries Global, regardless of the line, can be installed in centralized and individual heating systems. This versatility is ensured through the use of a unique technology for the manufacture of radiators.

The symbiosis of steel and aluminum allows for unique results in strength and calorific value. So, to change the temperature of the Global radiator, you do not need to wait until it heats up or cools down. The adjustment process takes only a few minutes.

Depending on the modification, Globex bimetallic heating batteries differ in the following technical characteristics:

● height - from 20 to 80 cm;

● the size of one section is 8 cm;

● working pressure up to 35 kgf / cm 2;

● depth - 8-9 cm.

The service life of Global radiators is 20 years, while the manufacturer provides its own 10-year warranty.

Rifar radiators (Rifar heating batteries)

Domestic bimetallic heating radiators. Devices differ in reasonable cost. Due to the use of a special manufacturing technology, they are direct competitors of foreign manufacturers of heating equipment.

On the company's website, the site contains four lines of Rifar batteries:

● Rifar Base radiators. Products from the Basic range are the golden mean between price and quality. Like other radiators of the company, they are assembled from high quality metals. At the same time, the series includes three models of radiators: Base 200, Base 350 and Base 500, where the numbers correspond to the power value in watts. To obtain the maximum performance of batteries from the basic series, you should use a specially prepared coolant with a minimum salt content.

● Rifar Base Ventil radiators. This is a modified version of the Base series. Its only difference is the presence of additional fittings for the implementation of the lower connection to the heating system.

● Rifar Monolit radiators. Manufactured using monolithic technology. Here, the battery sections are joined together by welding, forming a single structure. They are designed to withstand the harshest conditions. So, according to the manufacturer, Rifar Monolit radiators are capable of withstanding pressure up to 150 kgf / cm 2.

● Rifar Monolit Ventil radiators. As in the case of the base line, the "Monolith Valve" is a modified version of the "Monolith" with additionally mounted branch pipes for the bottom connection.

Aluminum heating radiators

Aluminum radiators belong to the category of the most calorific value, which is due to the physical properties of the material from which the batteries are made. However, their use in centralized heating systems is not recommended, due to the increased requirements for the acidity of the coolant.

The large cross-section of the intercollector pipes makes aluminum radiators excellent substitutes for cast iron in heating systems with natural circulation of the coolant.

Aluminum has a low specific weight, which greatly simplifies the transportation and installation of radiators based on it. The aesthetic qualities of aluminum radiators allow installation in almost any room, regardless of the design style.

Radiators Global (heating batteries Global)

Global aluminum heating batteries in Russia are represented by only two lines: ISEO and VOX. This is due to the fact that they are the best suited for domestic heating systems.

The VOX series are the classic Global sectional aluminum radiators. Despite the modular design, they are designed to work under pressure up to 16 kgf / cm 2. High heat transfer rates (150 W from 35 cm section and 181 from 50 cm) allow efficient use of heat carrier heat even with a minimum number of sections.

Globex ISEO heating batteries are monolithic structures that are designed to work in extreme operating conditions. They not only perfectly withstand high pressure, but due to a special fluorine-zirconium layer, they are less susceptible to corrosion and chemical attack. Globex ISEO batteries can be used in systems with poor quality coolant.

Kermi radiators - customer reviews

“… I want to say a little about Kermi steel radiators. I have Kermi FKV 220509 with side connection, centralized heating, and I am very pleased with them. I installed Kermi radiators with my own hands. They are, of course, more expensive than other models at a price, but they are more suitable for our climatic conditions. The problem is that abroad in heating systems, air is released very rarely, and when air enters the radiators, their inner surface does not corrode and does not deteriorate.
And our practice of heating seasons shows that water in central heating, draining occurs quite often, therefore any radiators rust faster, especially aluminum and steel radiators ... "

Sergey Ivanov, 29 years old, Kolomna

“… I have Kermi Profil panel radiators - Ventil FKV installed in my apartment. They have been standing for five years already. One section leaked, so I had to disassemble and repair.
My radiators are connected from below, so the pipes are not visible at all around the apartment. The difference in price for, say, a two-room apartment of 15-17% (3-4 radiators is a small difference) is almost imperceptible compared to the renovation of the apartment of the neighbors downstairs, and maybe even several apartments, that's how to try ... "

Alexey, businessman, Sergiev Posad

“… The steel radiator is good, but I like the tubular steel panels - they are easy to clean, wipe clean, different colors and a very large range of sizes and models. Therefore, when the question arose about choosing a model, I did not hesitate for a long time - I bought Kermi FTV (FKV) radiators, this is a side connection, type 33, which means the largest size in all directions - width, height and depth, and two panels.
It can be installed under a window, or it is possible to easily get around a wall with a height of 2 meters and a small width. If you pour antifreeze with glycerin into the radiators, then any will serve for a long time. Such a coolant is not aggressive and does not eat through the radiator from the inside. If the system is filled with ordinary water, then it is imperative to add an anti-corrosion additive. ... "
