The time has already passed when there were only two types of heating radiators - cast-iron, for water and steel - for steam heating. Today, our construction has reached such heights, in the literal and figurative sense, that for heating a high-rise building, the pressure in the heating system should be more than 30 atmospheres. To work under such conditions, new bimetal heating radiators have been developed.
Already the name suggests the presence in the design of aggregates of two metals. Inside the structure, specially machined steel pipes pass, and the piping, or heat-releasing fins, are made of aluminum. Steel pipes hold high pressure, and having good thermal conductivity, aluminum makes it possible to increase heat transfer and significantly reduce the weight of the structure. And aluminum petals give the design a presentable look.
Judging by the reviews, bimetal heating radiators have occupied a decent cell in the field of modern organization of heating systems.
The advantages of bimetallic radiators include:
- modern design;
- ease of installation;
- high strength;
- excellent heat dissipation;
- light weight;
- working pressure over 50 atmospheres.
