The most popular option for heating residential,commercial and industrial buildings for many years now remains water heating. This system includes radiators and convectors of heating, water pipes laid under the floor, and wall heating panels. Due to the circulation of water heated up to a certain temperature or a special antifreeze liquid that does not freeze, the heating devices installed in the room transmit heat.
The choice in favor of such a heating system wasit is not accidental. Being the most cost-effective carrier of heat, water is 100% cope with the task. Using modern technology allows you to lay heating pipes directly under the floor or in the walls, which does not affect the interior of the room. Water convectors heating, differing in the variety of designs and sizes, are an indispensable type of climate equipment in most apartments with modern design. Their diversity is simply amazing.
Water heating has the main advantagebefore other systems, consisting in the ability to use absolutely any kind of fuel for heating water. For example, the installed gas boiler, due to the relative cheapness of the gas itself, will help save a lot of money for heating an apartment or a private house. In the event that you do not want to depend on external sources of energy, autonomous gas heating is the best option.
For the functioning of the heating system,it is necessary to fill the tanks of liquefied gas specially installed near the house and control its quantity, periodically replenishing the tanks. Autonomous water heating can be operated from liquid / solid fuel boilers. As fuel for such equipment, coal, coke, firewood, pellets or diesel fuel is used. A significant drawback of such devices is the need to manually load fuel. Water heating, powered by an electric boiler, despite a number of advantages, involves significant energy costs.
Water heating systems have two typeswiring. The first type - single-pipe layout - is based on a consecutive transition of heated water through all connected heating devices. Two-pipe wiring assumes an independent supply of coolant to each device. This makes it possible to adjust the temperature regime separately for each room.
The type of heater depends on thepersonal wishes and on the thermal power of a particular model. Consumers prefer different kinds of radiators, which can be cast iron, aluminum, steel or bimetallic. An alternative to standard radiators is heating convectors, which are universal equipment. They are used both as the main and additional source of heat.
Characteristic of most modernmulti-storey apartment houses, the radiator heating system is characterized by minimal equipment costs and low energy efficiency. The water heating of individual houses is characterized by the possibility to choose the optimal equipment and associated elements, however, in order to achieve the maximum effect, it is recommended to combine several different types of heating.
