Dimensions of aluminum radiators and their sections

Today, a lot of useful things are made of aluminum. Here and radiators from an alloy of this metal already got accustomed in our houses - beautiful, easy, quickly heating up. However, when choosing these heaters, you need to know and correctly choose the size of aluminum radiators. Let's see what sizes are and how to choose them correctly.

What you need to know about radiator sizes and what they affect

The first important dimension is the distance between the axles. The most common are aluminum radiators with a distance of 35 or 50 cm between the upper and lower collectors.

There are also models that have a figure of 80, 70, 60, 40 and 20 cm.

Along the length, aluminum radiators have almost unlimited dimensions. The longer the radiator, the higher its power. To achieve the desired level of power take a certain number of sections. The total length of the radiator depends on the required power, the size of the section of aluminum radiators and their power.

To connect the radiator with the pipes of the heating system, use a mounting kit.

It includes:

• 1. Brackets (2 or 4 pieces) for hanging the radiator on the wall.
• 2. Special crane for bleeding off excess air (Mayevsky's crane).
• 3. Key for the crane
• 4. Radiator plugs with a diameter of 3/4 or 1/2. They can be of the left or right type.
• 5. Radiator plugs (blind plugs).
• 6. sometimes dowels for mounting brackets.

Mounting kit for aluminum radiators.

According to the type of production, the radiator made of aluminum alloy can be cast or extrusion.

1. Casting makes the device more durable and reliable. In this case, the sections are completely cast individual parts that are assembled into one radiator. The bottom of the battery is welded at the very end.

2. The use of extrusion equipment involves the extrusion of a heated aluminum alloy through a metal plate with holes - a die. This allows you to get an aluminum long profile of the desired shape. After cooling it should be chopped into pieces, corresponding to the size of the radiator. Then weld the top and bottom. In this case, it is not possible to adjust the radiator in length, it is impossible to add sections from it. On sale they are rare, but still they are.

Dimensions of aluminum radiators of various manufacturers and their models

The tables below show both the size of the aluminum radiator section and the dimensions of the assembled radiators.

Aluminum radiators of Climatic Control Corporation LLP

The brainchild of this company is BiLUX AL radiators with excellent heat recovery, which are made with all the nuances of individual systems heating. The area of ​​their surface is very significant, and the cross section of a vertical pipe is optimally calculated. The plant for the production of these radiators is located in China. The distance between the axes of the collectors can be 30 cm (BiLUX AL M 300) or 50 cm (BiLUX AL M 500).

In the manufacturing process, the injection molded tops are connected to the bottom, which is done using a special welding technology. After assembly, the batteries are processed chemically and mechanically. Then they are tested, checking how tight and durable they are. Paint the battery in several stages. After cleaning, they are affected by an electrostatic field. At this time, epoxy-based enamel is sprayed. Then, heating to a high temperature, the surface of the product is polymerized.

The ends of the BiLUX AL radiators have a special design that allows the use of a special ring as a gasket. The material from which it is made, completely seals the joints. Nipples are used cadmium. Leaks are absolutely excluded. No matter how many times the battery sections get over, making it as simple as possible.

How to calculate the number of seconds radiator options

There is a simplified way to do this quickly. To do this, we need the standard power required to heat one square meter of the room. We give three options.

• If the ceilings in the room have a normal height (2.5 to 2.7 meters), the outside wall is one, the window is one. Standard power - 100 watts.
• If the ceilings are the same, there are two walls to the outside, and one window. Standard power - 120 watts.
• If the same height of the ceilings, there are two walls to the outside, two windows. Standard power - 130 watts.

Now we multiply two values ​​- the standard power for our variant and the area of ​​the room. Having higher ceilings or a larger window (for example, if it is with a bay window), we multiply by an additional correction factor of 1.1. As a result, we obtain the power of the radiator (total).

The heat capacity for one section is indicated in the radiator passport. It is necessary to divide the total power received into it. Round fractional numbers upwards.

For example: A room has an area of ​​16 square meters, it has one outer wall and one window with a bay window. Battery FARAL Green HP 500 (thermal power section - 180 watts).

Multiply 100 watts by 16 square meters and by a factor of 1.1.

100 x 16 x 1.1 = 1760 (watts).

To calculate the number of radiator sections, divide this number by 180.

1760/180 = 9.778 (pieces).

Rounding - we get 10 sections.
