In anticipation of the cold season, many people think about the warmth and reliability of the heating system not only in the whole house, but also in their own apartment in particular. However, it is better to do this as soon as possible, when there is still some time left for repair work. After all, you will need time not only to select a specific model, but also to install it in a timely manner. To choose heating radiators, reviews of other owners of these devices should definitely be taken into account.
Today, manufacturers offer a large number of these products, which are made of steel or aluminum. The former are characterized by higher reliability and, consequently, a longer service life, but their heat transfer may not suit you. The latter more efficiently transfer their heat to the surrounding space, but at the same time they are intensively destroyed as a result of corrosion.
However, now you can combine the advantages of both types by installing bimetallic radiators in your home, reviews of which are not negative. If any problems arise during operation, then they can only be caused by non-compliance with the installation technology. The price of such devices may be slightly higher, especially if they were manufactured abroad. But Russia also began to produce bimetal radiators some time ago. These products have a lower cost and all groups of the population can afford them.
What is the principle of operation of bimetallic radiators, reviews of which are positive? To begin with, it is worth noting that in their production two different materials are used: steel and aluminum. Thanks to this, they got their name.
Steel tubes used in their manufacture are able to hold pressure and resist corrosion. Special conditions for the production of these elements allow their installation in the finished product in a prestressed state. Due to this, the tube material is able to withstand significant pressure in the heating system. It can also compensate for the inevitable difference in the deformation of steel and aluminum under the influence of heat, keeping the heat flux into the surrounding space the same. There is practically no contact of the aluminum element with water, therefore bimetallic radiators have only the best reviews (in terms of their reliability and service life).
During the operation of these devices, the coolant, which is most often hot water, sometimes steam, circulates through steel pipes. Then these tubes transfer heat to the fins covering their outer surface, in the manufacture of which a high-quality aluminum alloy was used. The result of this work is the optimum temperature in the room where the bimetallic radiator works.
It is worth noting the excellent design of these devices. They can be harmoniously fit into any room, regardless of the stylistic design and other important features.
Thus, if you are interested in bimetallic radiators, the reviews of which completely suit you, it is time to start choosing the right model both in appearance and cost. You can opt for manufacturers such as VitaTerm, Teploterm, Global Style or Konner.
These devices consist of sections, the assembly of which can be done directly at the installation site of the heating system. This will greatly facilitate your selection conditions, as the battery can be rearranged depending on your taste and preference. Perhaps you decide to buy sections that have a different design to create your only unique design. In any case, the installation of bimetallic radiators in your home will help to create a warm, cozy atmosphere in which you want to quickly return.
