The advantages of these cast iron radiators

Comfort the apartment in the winter is largely determined by the efficiency of the heating system. It largely depends not only on what the coolant temperature at the entrance to the apartment, but the radiators that form the basis of the heating system in the home. The optimal choice should be considered radiators of cast iron, which has for decades used in most apartments of our fellow citizens. Their main advantage lies in the fact that heating of the battery occurs gradually, and the heat is retained for a long period of time.

These are just some of the advantages of cast iron radiators, which they have, incidentally, quite a lot. The main thing – it's long life which can reach 50 years. In addition, the conditions of high pressure they have no problems stand and not demanding to the quality of the coolant. An important advantage is the corrosion resistance. Another plus is the reasonable price, affordable for most consumers.

They are used mainly in heating systems, in which a heat transfer medium hot water. In individual heating systems running on gas, they do not apply. And this is for several reasons. The basic is that particles of iron may eventually cause clogging of the heating system. The second reason these radiators have a very high emissivity. And in addition they have a large number of cavities. Plus their installation is quite time-consuming event. Note also the unattractive appearance they have. Therefore these radiators can successfully fit not in every interior.
