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.

Wall-mounted version is more compact but less powerful

Gas prices are constantly growing, but heating with this type of fuel is still one of the cheapest. But we are talking about monthly costs - modern boilers have a high efficiency - 95-98%, which reduces costs. A high degree of automation also adds popularity ...

Simplified steam heating diagram

One of the most important life support systems in our rather unfriendly climate is heating. There are several different ways to make a heating system. And one of them is steam heating. The system is effective, but it is used very rarely - it has too many disadvantages.

Heating your home with electricity is the cleanest way

When thinking about which heating system for a house or summer cottage to choose, they often think about the use of electricity. The advantage of this type of energy carrier is its environmental friendliness, "cleanliness" and high reliability of electric heaters. The downside is a considerable price, which is why electric heating is not the most popular heating method.

When creating a redundant power system, it is necessary to install an uninterruptible power supply for a gas boiler (also called UPS, UPS (UPS) or uninterruptible power supply)

Modern gas boilers are good because in the presence of normal operating conditions, they work completely autonomously. Human intervention is usually only required to adjust parameters. But for stable operation, they need a certain pressure and quality of gas, as well as high-quality and constant power supply. ...

The air in the heating radiator interferes with the normal circulation of the coolant. This leads to the fact that the battery does not heat well.

Properly working heating in winter is a vital necessity. You cannot survive in our climate without heating. But periodically the previously normally operating system begins to malfunction - the radiators do not heat up or do not heat well, there is extraneous noise (gurgling). These are all signs that air has appeared ...

Methods for removing the chimney from a gas boiler

When installing gas boilers, the standards must be strictly observed. Also, strictly according to the standards, it is necessary to install a chimney for a gas boiler. Although the temperature of the flue gases is low and has no color, it will cause no less harm, but a lot - because leaks are poorly determined. Because …

Choosing a boiler for heating a private house is not easy

To choose a boiler for heating a private house, you need to take into account many factors. For this, it is necessary to have information about the main features of each type of boilers, their advantages and disadvantages.

Propylene glycol heat transfer fluid is safe, but it is more expensive and freezes at higher temperatures

It is almost impossible to survive in winter without heating in our country, therefore a lot of time, effort and money is devoted to its device. The most common type of heating in our country is water (liquid) heating. Its component is a coolant. How to choose a coolant for a heating system, how ...

Do not forget to cover everything around with newspapers or paper (and on the floor too)

During the repair, one of the tasks is to paint the batteries. In order for the result to be pleasing later, the paint for heating radiators must be chosen correctly. It's not as easy as it sounds - there are a few pitfalls worth knowing about.

It is necessary to take into account the number of external walls

The basis of any heating is the boiler. Whether it will be warm in the house depends on how correctly its parameters are selected. And for the parameters to be correct, it is necessary to calculate the boiler power. These are not the most difficult calculations - at the third grade level, you will only need ...
