Pipes

Heating a house or apartment is not such a simple engineering system as it may seem at first glance. When drawing up a project, it is necessary do a lot of calculations, in particular, the required pipeline diameter.

Choosing the right diameter is the key to a reliable, comfortable and efficient system heating of premises.

For example, heating without a pump, where the coolant circulates by gravity, may not work at all if the pipes are too narrow, and a system with forced circulation if the diameter is too small will make noise or will not heat the room to the required temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to use calculation rules that will allow heat loss to be reduced to a minimum.

Uncovered pipes placed along the walls can spoil the appearance of any room.

If closed installation of communications is not possible, then to improve the interior they are hidden in special structures - decorative boxes for pipes.

This method allows you to make them aesthetically pleasing with minimal costs without changing the configuration of the outline and violating the integrity of the walls.

When using the box, free access to the heating pipes is maintained for safe operation, the design parameters of the heating circuit remain unchanged.

From the correctly calculated pipe diameter depends on the heat and heating costs of the house.

An adequately selected option will not require additional costs for heating the liquid and will allow the coolant to pass through the system at a good speed.

Cross-linked polyethylene - innovative material for the production of pipes. Unlike conventional PE, it can withstand high pressure, chemical reagents, and hot water.

It is used for cold and hot water supply and heating pipelines.

Installation of PEX pipes is not difficult, but has some special features, knowledge of which will help to perform the installation correctly.

Most of the owners of apartments and private houses use water heatingThis method has many advantages: durability, reliability, warmth.

But the main disadvantage is considered to be unaesthetic.

In addition, it is not possible to install pipes in every apartment, or more precisely, not near every wall, since In case of an accident the wall will need to be broken down, so this point needs to be calculated during installation.

To eliminate the shortcomings there is several ways. They start thinking about this during the construction process so that difficulties do not arise in the future.

Metal-plastic (MP) is called flexible pipes with three-layer wall: two layers of polymer and metal foil or mesh glued between them.

Due to their advantages, such pipes are actively replacing steel pipes in water supply, heating and sewerage distribution systems.

To assemble the pipeline correctly, It is necessary to understand the characteristics of pipes and be able to select fittings for them.

An inexpensive and technological option for heating - plastic pipes.

They are durable, easy to install and inexpensive. A well-welded polypropylene system can serve 30–60 years without repair, but there are factors that significantly reduce service life and reliability.

This excess temperature, pressure, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Polypropylene pipes should not be used when connecting a solid fuel boiler, on steam mains, in contact with hot metal, or in heating systems of high-rise apartment buildings.

The installation of the boiler and the laying of the heating mains of the house are determined at the design stage. At the same time, the size and material of the pipes are selected.

Incorrect selection will lead to inconvenience. Metal pipes need to be painted every season. And polypropylene ones are difficult to repair.

Rehau - large German company with 70 years of experience, which specializes in the development of energy-efficient systems in the construction, furniture and automotive industries.

Reliable and high-quality pipeline systems for heating Rehau have been used and produced in Russia for more than 15 years.

The pipes have unique sliding sleeve connection system, they are resistant to destruction and rust. Due to the smooth surface inside, the formation of plaque during the entire service life is excluded.

In the heating system, they are very popular steel and cast iron pipes.

They have proven themselves to be reliable materials, but their main drawback is susceptibility to corrosionThis causes a leak.

This problem also occurs with plastic pipes. When such a nuisance appears, you can't ignore her. It requires an immediate solution, otherwise the problem will lead to dire consequences.

Polyethylene pipes have become a guarantee of comfort today. The structure allows use them for many years.

They are considered the main component in maintaining communication between all elements of heating, water supply and other systems.

In many apartments, heating pipes were not repaired for decadesDuring this period, the devices wear out significantly.

In order to restore their effective operation, old systems are changed.

The main thing here is entrust the work to professionals or else carry out work in accordance with the recommendations of specialists.

In the heating system pipes perform the task of transporting the coolant from the distribution unit or boiler to heating devices (radiators).

For the efficient operation of the heating system, it is necessary to select the correct pipes based on their installation features, material, and cost of the products.

There is a wide range of materials for heating distribution in an apartment. All of them are divided into two large groups: metals and plastics.

From the right choice The heating pipes will determine how efficiently the room is heated, the frequency of replacement of products and the frequency of repair of the heating system.

Pipes for the heating system are made from two types of material - metal or plastic.

Their diversity is great and each type is used in specific conditions and premises.

They are used for heating different types pipes.

Material, type and flow area are selected depending on the operating conditions of the heating system: coolant temperature, operating pressure, installation method.

Corrugated stainless steel pipe is a product whose main purpose is to its use in heating systems of buildings and structures.

At present, these products are not popular, but experts believe that there are still prospects for growth in their use. This is due to the very good performance characteristics and various advantages in use.

Copper pipes used in the heating system are long hollow products that are different high level of heat transfer, considerable strength and comparative durability.

There are a large number of these types of pipelines, the installation of which can be carried out at home even with your own hands without the help of specialists.

Long gone are the days when paint was used to paint radiators, heating pipes, and other metal surfaces with high temperatures. silverware of my own making.

The construction market offers us wide choice heat-resistant paints that provide corrosion protection with prolonged exposure to high temperatures and attractive appearance heating systems.

A real problem for residents of apartment buildings, especially old buildings, is speaking communications, in particular, heating system pipes.

Many people are racking their brains over how to do this without losing heat. hide them out of sightso that they do not spoil the interior of the room.

There are many solutions, which are implemented quite easily and do not require much effort and capital investments.
