In the modern world for heating homes are increasinglyUsed bimetallic batteries, which appeared by combining aluminum and iron. This is an alternative between cast iron radiators and modern aluminum analogs. The latter option has certain advantages in terms of thermal conductivity, but the susceptibility of internal surfaces to corrosion makes itself felt quickly enough. Even after special treatment, aluminum products only acquire a certain stability for a short time. Installing a radiator is not an easy task, so take care of the durability and quality still worth it.
Today, bimetal batteries are the mostoptimal variant, since their device allows to achieve maximum effect, combining simultaneously two metals. Inside, where the surface is in contact with water, stainless steel is used. It is firmly embedded in the aluminum frame to prevent corrosion. However, in modern radiators of this type, one can see instead of stainless steel a new inner coating consisting of chromium and nickel. These products have proved their worth in the business. A steel radiator is unlikely to compete with new designs, despite the high functionality.
Currently, bimetal batteriesact as ideal products for space heating. They are able to fully solve the problems that arise before with the old analogues. Therefore, after their installation, no scheduled changes are required. The quality of installation plays an important role for the successful operation of the system. During installation, all instructions, recommendations and manufacturer's instructions must be observed. It is much better if the installation is done by experienced specialists.
However, install bimetal batteriespossible by yourself. Immediately before installation, it is desirable to clean the communications in the place where the circulating liquid enters the autonomous heating system. Each battery must have automatic or manual valves designed to bleed air. The installed valve is closed when the internal space is filled with liquid. If the air is to be discharged very often, the leakproofness of the heating system must be checked.
The installation itself begins with the marking of the walls, which is simpleit is necessary to determine the location of the brackets. Fastening is performed using cement or dowels. Radiators are fixed on the brackets in a special way, in which the horizontal parts of the radiator must fall exactly in the hooks. Reliability of installation largely depends on the gap between the wall, floor and battery. Specialists do not recommend making bimetal radiators with different screens and boxes, as this will have a negative effect on the determination of temperature by sensors. At the very last stage, the heating system can be filled with liquid.
