How to increase the efficiency of the radiators Bashny.Net

Sometimes it is detected that the battery is not warm as it should. Of course, it is possible to change them, but to change the battery in the cold is a dubious pleasure, and these problems arise mainly with the beginning of the heating season.





Remains or endure until the summer and freeze, or try, if that does not solve the problem, then at least to reduce it. And it's even more than real, and the solution can be purely technical and just "trick".

What to do if you don't warm the batterya Number of sectionsthe First thing to do is to calculate whether there are enough sections of radiators in your room. If they are insufficient, the only option is to select the required radiators and add several sections to the battery.

The standard way of calculating the number of radiators:
16kv.m. x 100W / 200W = 8
where 16 is the area of the premises
100W — standard heat capacity per 1 m2,
200W — approximate capacity of one section of the radiator (you can see on the passport),
8 — the required number of sections of the radiator



Check regulatorIf your battery is equipped with a power regulator, you should check what temperature it is on. In the spring there's no need to heat the room and maybe the knob is now at an insufficient temperature.

Air tubeCheck surface temperature of the battery, if it is very hot in one place and the other barely warm, most of all, a good warm-up prevents air lock.

Another symptom of air tube – a strange sound, gurgling. The modern battery is a special valve for venting (crane Majewski), located at the top of the battery and opened using a flat screwdriver. You are simply slightly Unscrew the faucet, the sound of the air outlet, to wait until all the air comes out the water, and then screw the faucet.
Don't forget to substitute something for water collection. If you are not at risk or did not find your battery like a valve, call a plumber.

Cleaning radiatorhigh-Quality work the battery very much hampered by the dust and dirt. To clean it from the outside you can and do. It is better to remove the old layer of paint if these layers are several, the procedure is required, and painted with special heat resistant paint, preferably dark (black) color. Clean the battery inside can only a plumber with the help of special equipment.

Decorative coverDecorative screen (casing) resolve and increase heat transfer. Moreover, at the moment, the choice of wide screens, they are not easy to fit, and complements any interior. But you need to be attentive to the material from which it is made. Screen made of wood or plastic will not give the desired effect and, on the contrary, will not miss the heat in the room. In order the room is warmer, the screen should choose from aluminum, it will be well to conduct heat.





Little tricks to increase the temperature of return the batteryTo the battery the necessary free access of air, remove all blocking him, including curtains, you can just raise them on the windowsill. To help the movement of air can an ordinary fan. Position it so that the thread passed over the battery. Thus, the warm air will be faster to get deeper into the room, and the cold is closer to the battery.

Part of the heat absorbing wall behind the battery, to avoid this, you need to isolate the area. As insulation can serve as corrugated cardboard and aluminum foil. Attach this design on the cardboard to the wall and foil to the battery. The reflection of the heat will be just fine.

Do not have to use the means at hand, there are more convenient solutions for thermal insulation. Modern materials, such as Polyrex, heat insulation material is laid or izolon, remarkably isolated, and one side have adhesive surface, which, naturally, will facilitate their installation.

Please note. After gluing the insulation distance between the battery and the wall should not be less than two inches, otherwise the air will not circulate and will not become warmer. When there is insufficient distance can simply stick foil, it is better to keep distance and not risk, pasting a thick layer of insulation.

Battery can be hard to heat if they are installed so that the gap between them and the wall is initially less than two inches, in this case it is necessary to think about their reconstruction, as half of the heat will go into the wall and not be able to get inside the room.

The use of technical solutions can, in principle, to remove the need to install new batteries. Thanks to these little tricks, you can simply raise the temperature a few degrees, if this is not enough, then of course you should think about replacing the batteries and external insulation. published
