Thermostat for heating radiator: temperature regulator on battery, thermostat and thermowatch

The thermostat for the heating radiator is able to lower the reference temperature to the required parameters Sometimes there is such a desire or even necessity, to adjust the temperature in each separate room. You can do this by installing a special device on the radiator - a thermostat or the so-called thermostat. This is a very small device capable of regulating the heat transfer of the radiator intended for heating. Suitable for all batteries, except for cast iron. The temperature regulator can only lower it, but not vice versa.

Thermostat for heating batteries:

Radiator adjustable dateIR consists of two main parts - a valve and a thermal head. Manufacture of such products for different pipe diameters and types of system heating. The thermostatic element is removable, therefore different types of regulators can be installed on the thermo-valve. The landing site is standardized.

The thermostat can be operated using a working substance, gas or liquid state. Therefore, they are divided into liquid and gas-filled. Both types are considered high-quality products, but liquid ones are more in demand, therefore their assortment is much more diverse.

Thermocouple is a conventional valve consisting of a metal body with a hole, as well as a cone and a saddle. The locking mechanism in this system is the cone, which, in turn, rises and falls under the influence of the coolant.

The thermostat for heating batteries consists of two main parts - the valve and the thermal head

The internal structure of this product:

• Thermostatic head;
• Valve;
• Thermoball;
• Stock;
• Spindle;
• Bux.

The thermal head is a regulator of the device, with it the battery has a certain temperature regime, it is a replacement part. Valves are divided into two types: one-pipe systems or two-pipe systems. For each system, you must choose the appropriate model.

Thermostat for heating and its varieties

The thermostat is a device that can maintain a certain temperature at a constant level. To produce such a device, very strong and reliable materials are used: bronze, stainless steel and brass.

Stainless steel is the most excellent option for such a device. They are not corroded, durable and chemically neutral. However, stainless steel products are pretty decent. Brass and bronze devices are cheaper, but also of high quality.

Suitable, it is for your heating system, the temperature sensor needs to be purchased in advance. If the device is connected to an already installed radiator, then its efficiency may decrease.

The thermostat for heating can be of three types:

Types of temperature controllers:

• Manual;
• Automatic;
• Mechanical.

The automatic temperature controller is the most convenient of the instruments, therefore it is the most popular. To use such a sensor is very easy, it is only necessary to put it in the right place. You can put it on the device itself or at the entrance to the radiator. The manual device is controlled only with someone's help. You can meet and another kind - it's an electrical controller that runs on batteries. Such a device has large dimensions and many additional functions. For example, he is able to set the temperature by the clock in the right room for you. This is a very convenient, but expensive device.

Temperature controller for heating radiator: the benefits of

Otherwise, such a device can be called a radiator thermostat. Of itself, it represents a special unusual mechanism that joins the input of the radiator and regulates the temperature entering the battery.

Modern thermoregulators fit very well into the interior of any room, its design allows it. They are easy to manage, creating a comfortable thermal regime in the house. Such products can easily be installed in both new and existing heating systems.

The temperature range of the thermostat ranges from 5 to 27 degrees. The device warns of excessive heating of air in the room. In a room where the thermometer shows a high temperature, the controller can lower it by adjusting the flow of the coolant to the batteries.

The temperature control on the heating radiator is very easy to operate

Advantages of the temperature controller:

• Long-lived, properly installed, this product is very large;
• Economical, able to reduce fuel consumption up to 25%;
• Convenient, it's easy to install;
• Well supports a certain comfortable temperature mode.

It must be remembered that a reliable thermoregulator must always have a quality certificate. And yet, this device is not suitable for a cast iron radiator.

Installing the thermostat on the heating radiator:

instruction To operate the thermostat without problems and efficiently, it must be installed correctly and accurately, and then adjusted. This appliance must not be closed to be easily accessible. The installation must be perpendicular to the radiator.

Another nuance of the installation: before it starts, you must drain the system. But in the non-heating season, the temperature regulators can be fully opened, which will save them from deformation and pollution.

You can install such devices even in a block of flats. Installation is carried out by hand in some sequence. For this you need the instruction.

Installation of the thermostat on the heating radiator should be carried out in stages

Sequence:

• First, at a short distance from the battery, cut off the horizontal pipes and disconnect them;
• Remove the valve if it has been installed before this;
• Now, you need to screw in the battery plugs, a new valve, its nuts and shanks, as well as a thermostatic device;
• Set, in the place chosen by you, the assembled piping;
• This harness is then connected to horizontal pipes;
• Afterwards, the radiator with thermostat must be connected to the main riser.

Do not install the thermostat in an upright position, as it will be heated from the battery. From the floor distance should be somewhere 0.8 m. The house, in many floors, it will be easier to equip this equipment if you start from the top, but the apartments - from the southern rooms. Usually the regulator is attached to the upper pipe, and the valve is necessarily lower. Disassemble the design of the device will not be very difficult.

Setting the thermostat: step-by-step actions

In order for the device to work without interruptions, it is very correct and still maintain a certain temperature, it is necessary to make the necessary adjustments. The heated room must be closed and installed at the right place thermometer, and it will show the correctness of the temperature regime.

Many companies take care of the quality of their products, so they provide special certificates and instructions. The most famous company for the manufacture of temperature controllers is Danfoss. She has the highest quality assurance.

The heat is adjusted manually. If there will be heating and temperature adjustment in the radiator - it means that the device works perfectly.

The temperature controller is set manually

We make the setting:

• Close all the windows and doors tightly in the room where the inspection will take place;
• Turn the regulator until the valve is fully open;
• While the radiator is being filled with a coolant, you need to install a thermometer;
• We wait until the air warms up and the thermometer shows a rise in temperature, at least by 6 degrees, then we will have to close the valve;
• When the desired temperature is reached, start slowly opening the tap until noiseless water is heard and the appliance itself does not become warmer. Then you need to stop turning the valve, as the position is selected.

Usually on the cap you can see marked small marks( numbers).They are designed for orientation. Adjusting the device is a very simple task, but thanks to it you can create a cozy and comfortable atmosphere at home.

How to install the thermostat on the battery( video)

Using the thermostats together with the heating system, it is possible to provide convenient and comfortable temperature control in a separate room, which becomes an opportunity to save energy resources. Each heating system should have thermostats installed in front of the batteries and directly perform their technological functions. Choose this device can be in the Heizen catalog.
