Now – a large number of radiators, almost any taste. The choice must be to produce, given the aesthetic perception and the material is cooler.
Cast iron radiators – very durable, but have a large thermal inertia, thus difficult to adjust the radiator and room temperature without proper temperature control of tankless water heater.
Steel panel radiators type – advantages: a large number of sizes, good heat dissipation, low water content, well-regulated radiator thermostat, have low thermal inertia. The main drawback – can not stand the fluid to be drained, do not like open systems and heating systems that use pipes resistant to the diffusion of atmospheric oxygen (for example, some types of polypropylene tubes).
Aluminum radiators – occupy an intermediate position between the steel and iron, combine virtually all the advantages and disadvantages of the previous groups of radiators. It makes sense to put in those cases where iron or steel, for whatever reasons do not meet the requirements. Significant addition – the quality of the radiator depends on the manufacturer and the quality of the raw material.
Bimetal radiators – Radiators with steel core and an aluminum jacket, designed to operate at high pressure coolant. The use of low-rise construction economically unfeasible.
Steel tubular radiators and convectors – as well as bimetallic designed for multi-storey building. Not sufficiently heat transfer surface area, and, consequently, low net power.
