Heat Exchanger

Most convectors, recessed into the floor, supplied with copper-aluminum heat exchanger, ie a copper tube threaded into one or more calls a package of rectangular aluminum plates. For the life of the instrument is important, as these thin plates are attached to the tube. If they are stamped Flare increases the contact area a few [...]

Intellectualize equipment

In the process of modernizing the manufacturer seeks to primarily take into account the interests of the buyer. After all, many of them recently it seems important to operate the heating and water heating equipment in the individual, suitable concrete shelter mode. Make the device more sensitive to the desires of the consumer allows the [...]

Energy efficiency trends in the development of water heaters

Modernization of equipment, especially heating, aims to also take into account the public interest. Questions of cost and resource management are increasingly addressed at various levels. Developed various programs for “sustainable energy”. They emphasize the state as a whole and each person in particular on the benefits of the introduction of more sophisticated equipment. Especially [...]

Fans

Most embedded in the floor convectors can detect so-called tangential fan (in the number of 1-4, depending on the length of the instrument). The design – a electric motor, to which one or both sides were attached long “pin” – the impeller. The device is installed parallel to the heat exchanger. Tangential fans create a [...]

Convectors with fans

Thermal power embedded convectors with fans, reduced to one meter in length, is within approximately 100 watts when the fan is turned off (the device warms the room by natural convection) up to 1200 watts or more if the fans operate at maximum speed. (Sam fan consumes per hour only a few tens of watts [...]

Convectors without fan

In central Canada radiant heaters without fans are usually used as an additional heating of premises, together with a system of floor heating. In such a bond they noticeably (several times) accelerate the reaction equipment to the rapid decrease or increase in temperature in the house. And in the spring and fall warm floor can [...]

Not a single grating

Of course, if the coil included a decorative grille, they would be applied universally, and the whole procedure for choosing the device would be reduced to a purely design problems. However, in practice much harder. The choice of the lattice is carried out at the last turn, after clarification of all the thermodynamical characteristics and [...]

General recommendations for installation of PEX plumbing tubing

The bottom of the trenches tamped and smoothed with a mixture of dry limestone gravel with coarse sand. Then laid PEX plumbing tubing. The minimum slope plumbing on the building regulations is 0,002 (2 mm to 1 running. M) in clay soils, and 0,003 (3 mm at 1 running. M) in the sand. In practice, [...]
