Radiators are the most common heating systems used worldwide. Modern heating radiators are characterized by high heat dissipation, attractive design and long service life. To determine which heating radiators are better, the reviews of visitors placed in this catalog will help.
According to the manufacturing materials, the radiators can be aluminum, bimetallic, steel and cast iron.
Cast iron differ in low heat transfer, low cost and the longest service life.
Steel radiators characterized by high heat dissipation, can be panel and tubular. Panel have a simple design and not a high price, and tubular belong to the elite species.
Aluminum radiators have high heat dissipation and medium life. Attractive design, the possibility of sectional replacement and light weight - the advantages of such radiators.
Bimetallic combine all the advantages of aluminum and the strength of steel, so they can work under high pressure.
Heating system. First of all, when choosing radiators, you need to look at which heating system they will be used in - autonomous or centralized. For centralized heating systems, cast-iron or bimetallic models can be used.For autonomous, there are no such restrictions, but it is best to use aluminum or steel radiators.
Power. The power of the radiator will depend on the size of the room in which it is supposed to operate.
Center distance This is the distance between the upper and lower axis of the radiator manifold. When choosing this indicator, you must take into account the wiring of the pipes, as well as the place available under the windowsill.
Equally important parameters are collapsibility, installation cost and design.
