Typology of heating registers
The register size is calculated using a special formula, which includes various parameters of the materials, premises and heating system used. Calculations can also be made on online calculators, which will save considerable time, but such programs are often inaccurate.
Depending on the design, the heating registers are divided into two types:
- Sectional. Such kind of heating products consists of several parallel arranged smooth pipes with plugs, which are connected to each other by short pipes of smaller diameter. Sections can be made from a smooth tube of different diameters. The input to the register can be threaded or flanged. Short transient pipes should be located as close as possible to the ends of the pipe, this affects the amount of heat transferred.
- Serpentine. This type of register is a section of a smooth tube, which are connected together by arcs. In this form of registers, heat transfer is greatly improved, since the entire surface of the pipe participates in the heating. In addition, the construction of coil registers excludes the presence of transition areas, which significantly reduces the pressure drops within the system.
Features of the heating registers
This heater has a number of specific characteristics:
- This heating device is capable of heating large areas with insignificant dimensions. That is why heating registers are most often used for heating shops and other large and spacious premises.
- Does not require any special technological steps in production.
- For manufacturing relatively inexpensive materials are used: cast iron, stainless steel, steel.
- When working in the structure of the heating system withstand considerable pressure.
- Are capable to work not only with water, but also with oil liquids and also steam.
- The price / heat ratio is very high.
Using heating registers with
heating element This room heating appliance is so versatile that it can be used with heating elements inside. It can be a heater. Such kind of registers is used for heating of premises in which it is difficult to carry out various kinds of heating communications.
The power of the heating element can vary from 1.6 to 6 kW.The operating voltage is 220 volts.
The device can work in combination with pumps, which must maintain a high circulation of the coolant.
Registers with TEN, to improve performance, can be filled with antifreeze.
Thus, the article described such an element of the heating system as the heating register. Also, the main characteristics and properties of this device were described. The variants of the technical design of the heater and the cases of its use in various heating systems, plus the pros and cons of each type were shown.
