How to decorate the heating of the old house, the traditional cast iron, can not be changed

At present, the radiators on the market can be divided into cast iron, steel column type, steel plate type, aluminum, copper and aluminum composite from the material, and the advantages and disadvantages are as follows

Cast iron: The biggest advantage is corrosion resistance.

However, the energy consumption is large, the environmental pollution is serious, the weight is large, the appearance quality is poor, the pressure bearing capacity is low, the production technology is backward, the inner cavity is sticky sand, which does not meet the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection, and has been listed as a product that is gradually banned in China.

2. Aluminum radiator:

Using aluminum as raw material, it is light in weight and has good heat dissipation effect.

However, due to the characteristics of aluminum itself, it is not easy to process and manufacture, the shape is not easy to diversify, the high requirements for home decoration are not easy to meet, and there are certain problems in the welding process; Aluminum alkali corrosion is serious, because the heating system boiler and pipeline are mostly made of steel, in order to protect the system, the water quality is generally alkaline, so the aluminum radiator must be done internal anti-corrosion, but the quality of internal anti-corrosion is difficult to guarantee.

In addition, aluminum and other metals are prone to galvanic corrosion, so it cannot be mixed with steel products and copper products, and the content of copper and iron in water must be strictly controlled.

3. Steel plate radiator:

Steel is used as raw material, and it is manufactured by a water flow part and a convection sheet.

The water-moving part is welded by two whole steel plates formed by rolling, with a large heat dissipation area, no deformation of the plate, and easy to weld and form. The production process is clean and environmentally friendly, the product appearance is beautiful and generous, the decoration effect is good, the pressure bearing capacity is high, the heat dissipation effect is good, which can effectively save energy and meet the requirements of energy conservation and environmental protection.

However, the steel radiator needs to be maintained with full water during the non-heating period, and at present, the heating system in some places in China cannot be maintained with full water or the system cannot be maintained with full water due to human reasons.

4. Steel tubular column radiator.

Beautiful appearance, large proportion of heat radiation, high comfort;

However, it needs to be welded with different steel pipes during manufacturing, and there are many welds, and the welding is not easy to do. At the same time, due to the bending shape, the pipe wall at the bend becomes thinner, and there are hidden dangers;

5. Copper-aluminum composite radiator:

Copper and aluminium are used as raw materials, and the pipes that come into contact with the water in the heating system are made of copper, and the outer walls are made of aluminum. Copper is more corrosion-resistant, and copper-aluminum has good heat transfer performance.

However, if the two materials of this product are not composite, the heat dissipation effect may not be good due to the different heat transfer performance of the two materials. At the same time, the manufacturing process is difficult, the welding is difficult, the appearance form is limited, and the product quality is not easy to guarantee. At the same time, chloride ions in water are easy to form pitting corrosion of copper; In addition, sulfate ions oxidize copper into sulfide, and the presence of sulfide in water is also the main cause of copper corrosion, and the electrochemical corrosion caused by the potential difference formed by welding at the welding site, and the copper pipe is thin, which is easy to leak at the welding site.

Make a cover for a wooden fence.

Find a renovation team to pack it up.

Make a woodworking box around the radiator to wrap it, and you can also put things on it, but leave the style of blinds on the side to facilitate the radiator heat dissipation. This is beautiful and clean, if it is simply covered with a cloth curtain, one is not resistant to dirt, and the other is that the heat dissipation is not good and it is easy to fall dust.

Odeberg radiator tells you that if the number is small, it is better to replace it with a new radiator, after all, one group or two groups are not much money, and the new radiator has much higher heat dissipation than cast iron, and the anti-corrosion is much better. I hope you will adopt. You can choose Odeberg radiators, top 10 brands of radiators.

Egg pain? It's distressing to spend money. Hehe.

It also costs money to wrap the heater up, and it also affects the heat dissipation. Find a delicious and inexpensive, **affordable one. Mingyue Decoration Market has opened a new store in the South Second Ring Road, where the first sales of new radiators are not high, there are several local brands, and there are also Beijing brands.

Go check it out and compare it. We don't use cast iron in our house anyway.

You can put a plastic shell on the outside of the radiator and it will be much cleaner.

How to design indoor radiators:

Make a woodworking box around the perimeter of the radiator, so that you can not only put things on it, but also keep the radiator beautiful. Wooden crates can be designed in a variety of shapes, such as shutters, wooden fences, etc.

Design Case:

Make a hollowed-out shelf in front of him.

Looks ok.

Can an old cast iron radiator be heated with a natural gas wall-hung boiler?

Switch to natural gas wall-hung boiler, use the old cast iron radiator, theoretically speaking, any wall-hung boiler, as long as it is hot water heating, can use any old water heating radiator before, no problem, rest assured.

What else should be added when the cast iron radiator is connected to the natural gas wall-hung boiler?

You have to ask a professional to do it, and you can't do it yourself. Be careful to seal.

Yes, before installing the wall-hung boiler, remove the radiator and rinse the rust inside. Pretend to be a filter at the return end of the wall-hung boiler to prevent water with impurities from entering the heat exchanger of the wall-hung boiler and causing damage.

Yes. That's how I use it. After the unit dismantled the boiler, I switched to a natural gas wall-mounted boiler, which used an old cast iron radiator for many years.

Theoretically speaking, any wall-hung boiler, as long as it is heated by hot water, can use any old plumbing radiator before, no problem, rest assured.

If you are not at ease, then install a filter at the total inlet and return water.

If it is an old-fashioned cast iron heater, you can make a large reticulated shell, the hole of the reticulated shell must be large, so as not to delay the heat dissipation effect, you can make the shape of the hole of the reticulated shell into the shape of a small animal or other shapes, or you can also spray paint. After the mesh shell on the radiator is finished, you can put potted flowers under the radiator to set off it.

Buy some heating paint on the brush, there are many color options.

Shade with moldings.

Design a row of multi-functional base cabinets with old-fashioned radiators embedded in them.

Cast iron is basically eliminated, and the volume is too large, it is recommended to choose steel, which is your process radiator.

Cast iron radiator: advantages: corrosion resistance, safe and reliable, long service life, ** cheaper in China, but ** in Western countries ** is very high, cast iron itself has the characteristics of macromolecules, suitable for the penetration of flying molecules, so the indoor heating will not feel obvious dryness, so there are certain benefits to the human body.

Disadvantages: due to the material, its appearance aesthetic is relatively backward, can not be matched with modern architecture and decoration in one, so many fashionable people have been disconnected from the cast iron radiator, and its inner cavity sticky sand is very easy to damage its temperature control device, energy saving is not comparable with new products, heavy body also let many people go away, there is a very important point, that is, now the domestic heating system has been updated, advocating high-efficiency and energy-saving products, so the old-fashioned cast iron products have been eliminated, At present, very few people choose this type of radiator.

Steel radiator: Mild steel radiator is what we commonly call steel radiator, which is one of the mainstream radiators now. There are two types of steel radiators: steel plate radiators and steel column radiators.

The steel radiator has a beautiful appearance, many selectivity, stable heat dissipation performance, low carbon and energy saving, green environmental protection, and is trusted by the majority of users.

Due to the characteristics of the steel itself, it can be made into many good-looking styles, and some good-looking artistic heaters are mostly made of steel, and the appearance is very beautiful.

Steel has a large water capacity and good thermal insulation effect, making it warmer in the room with steel. Especially in the cold northern winter, it is necessary to pay more attention to keeping warm. The cost of raw materials made of steel is low, and the finished product is more economical. This is very suitable for friends who are not rich in money.
