DIY heating

It is definitely impossible to survive without heating in our country. Wrong climate. Therefore, even at the planning stage, they think over a heating system. Most often, water heating is done - radiators, pipes, a boiler and a coolant moves through this system. One of the varieties - water heated floor... These are special pipes laid in the floor and filled with cement mortar (in most cases). Any of the options is good because coolant has a high heat capacity and can transfer enough heat to heat the room during prolonged cold weather. The downside is the high cost at the stage of operation.

Another heating method is air. A device is installed that heats the air and that's it. In a large building, they either install several low-power sources or make a duct system. This system is quickly implemented, but heats only while the heat sources are working. There is no "reserve", as in the water coolant. These systems are common in countries with warm winters or in specific industries - in greenhouses, service stations, etc.

The third kind - steam heating - is even less common. There is also a boiler (steam), a system of pipes and radiators, but the coolant is not liquid, but water vapor. Superheated steam under pressure is a source of danger, because this type of heating is prohibited for public organizations, and private traders rarely use it.
