Scheme and features of the collector heating system of a two-story house

Perhaps the collector heating system is the most effective way to heat any home, regardless of the number of floors and rooms. Such a scheme is often called radial, as it, unlike other heating systems, has a rather complicated( at first glance) wiring consisting of several separate threads( rays), although it can be mounted independently if one knows the principle of the contour functioning.

What it is itself, what advantages it gives - we discuss this and other issues in detail and understand this article.

What is a collector? This word denotes various technical products. In the case of a heating system, this is a device that regulates the volume of the coolant flowing into this or that thread of the circuit.

The disadvantage of other heating schemes is the uneven heating of radiators along the entire length of the route, unjustified heat loss and a number of others. But the main disadvantage is the lack of the possibility of changing the degree of heating of the batteries( and in some cases, their complete shutdown) without interfering with the operation of the boiler equipment, that is, changing the mode of operation of the battery.

It should be noted immediately that the heating system of a two-story house with the use of collectors is not something special. The use of such heat engineering devices can be complex, regardless of which circuit the attached circuit is mounted on.

The device of the heating collector

It is easy to understand it, if we consider the simplest modification of the product.

As can be seen from the figure, only 2 heating circuits can be connected to such a collector.

More complex options. For example, for 3 separate "thread".

The disadvantage of these valves is the impossibility of regulating the flow of coolant to each circuit. Therefore, for a residential structure in which there are a number of different types of premises in which it is necessary to maintain a different temperature, it is advisable to use more advanced reservoir modifications. The figures show some variants of this engineering solution.

Principle of operation of the

collector A coolant is supplied to it, which is piped from the boiler through a pipe system. The device has several nozzles, which are the inputs and outputs for the connected circuits. This ensures their independent supply( decoupling) of thermal energy, which allows it to be metered( regulated) by a single thread.

Heating diagrams( variants)

What type of heating devices to connect, their type and number, the location of the collectors - this is determined at the design stage of the entire heating system. There is no single recommendation here. With regard to the structure in 2 floors, you can put either 1 "multichannel" collector, or 2 - 3 less functional. The specific scheme is chosen based on the number of rooms and consumers of thermal energy.

In simplified form, for greater clarity, it can be presented as follows:

The order of the arrangement and the scheme of connection of radiators of heating are already separate questions. The collection circuit allows to equip the system of various types and any configuration. For example, with heating of the subsidiary structure( greenhouses), with heated floors.

The advantage of the collector systems is the ability to regulate the degree of heating of each room individually. This allows not only to reduce the overall cost of heating, but also make living in the house more comfortable. For example, to maintain the temperature in living quarters at a level of 24 ºС, and in the utility rooms - somewhat less. As for the rooms on the ground floor, which are used as pantries, it can be reduced to +5 ºС to avoid freezing of the walls.

The disadvantage of the collector heating system is the high cost of installation. After all, if you lay several separate threads, then the consumption of pipes and materials( insulation, sealant, etc.) increases.
