Mechanical thermostat for heating radiator
This thermostat consists of a valve and a thermal head. They work only interacting with each other, without gaining additional energy.
The thermal head in turn consists of such elements:
- regulator.
- Drive.
of the Liquid Element. In some cases, it is replaced by a gas or elastic.
The principle of operation of a mechanical thermostat is as follows. The air temperature changes in the room, immediately after that the volume of the coolant changes. Further, it is possible to observe a change in the volume of the bellows, as a result of which the regulating valve changes its location. Its movement is directly proportional to the change in temperature in the room.
When the temperature changes, the sensor moves the valve stem of the regulator. This is how the direction of the coolant goes into the battery.
To install a mechanical thermostat, it is necessary to install the valve on the feed part of the pipeline. The thermal head must be horizontal, it should not be exposed to heat or sunlight.
If the regulator is closed with curtains or furniture, a dead zone is formed, which means that the thermostat does not interact with the ambient temperature. The efficiency of heating is reduced. If the regulator is not placed in another way, special sensitive sensors are installed on it. For the integration of batteries into the niches, mini-regulators are used.
On the reverse side, the thermostat for the danfoss radiator is fitted with a shut-off valve. It allows to disconnect only the regulator, and not the entire heating system, if an alarm occurs. As the heating season is over, the Danfoss temperature regulator needs to be fully opened, otherwise the valve will form a raid.
The mechanical controller needs a setting in which additional hydraulic resistance is created. Preliminary adjustment can be made both on the inlet and on the return valve of the radiator battery.
Electronic heating radiator with thermostat
Electronic thermostats are an automatic device that will ensure the maintenance of a certain temperature in different installations. In the heating system, it simultaneously controls the boiler and the rest of the system. With its help creates a temperature regime in the room, which is necessary for a person.
The principle of the electronic regulator for the heating radiator Oventrop is that it has a built-in or remote sensor installed in a place away from the direct action of the heating elements, it provides the thermostat with information about the condition of the room in which it is located.
With the help of the received data, the electronic controller controls the heating elements of the system.
Installing the thermostat on the heating radiator
To install the thermostats on the Danfoss heating radiators, first turn off the riser and drain the water from the heating system.
Now you can proceed with the installation work, which is done in this order:
- cut off horizontal piping at a certain distance from the radiator;
- detaches the cut pipe and the tap;
- disconnect the shanks and nuts together with the valve and valve nuts;
- shanks wrap into battery tubes;
- piping is installed in the selected location;
- connect the strapping to horizontal pipes.
Reviews of the thermostat for a heating radiator confirm the effectiveness of this device, if necessary, to control the temperature.
Price for thermostat heating radiator
The average price for a thermostat for a radiator is 1 000 rubles, but the price range is very large.
