How to choose a radiator surface installation - the advantages and disadvantages of radiators of different materials.
Cast iron radiator: This kind of radiator appeared the earliest, has good corrosion resistance, long life, and is relatively cheap. However, its shortcomings of low efficiency, high energy consumption and ugly appearance determine the obsolescence of cast iron radiators.
Steel radiator: This kind of radiator has high thermal efficiency and strong pressure resistance, but it is easy to oxidize, so many manufacturers have made anti-corrosion treatment for radiators for this shortcoming. The anti-corrosion treatment of steel radiators produced by some small manufacturers with poor technology is not in place, which will greatly reduce the service life of the radiators, but there is no problem with the radiators produced by manufacturers with advanced anti-corrosion technology (such as the Turkish Demerad and Jacquefi that are sold on Comfort 100 Network), so the anti-corrosion treatment of steel radiators is very important.
Pure copper radiator: The thermal conductivity of this radiator is very outstanding, and it is corrosion-resistant, but it is high, the style is single, the cost performance is low, and the market share is small.
Cast aluminum radiator: It is also a radiator with high thermal efficiency, which is small and lightweight, beautiful in appearance, and more suitable. However, aluminum is more susceptible to alkali corrosion and is not suitable for use in areas with poor water quality.
Copper-aluminum composite radiator: The heat dissipation of this radiator is also relatively good, but due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of copper and aluminum, the contact thermal resistance will reduce the thermal efficiency, and the connection between the copper tube and the aluminum wing profile is prone to problems.

Do you have collective heating or do you burn it yourself with one stove per household. Different heating methods use different radiators.
One household and one furnace: galvanized steel pipes, PVC pipes, PPR pipes, steel-plastic pipes, aluminum-plastic pipes, aluminum-copper pipes, copper pipes, etc. can be used, and the price is rising in turn. Generally, families use PVC PPR, and of course, copper pipes are used if you have money.
Radiators are aluminum alloy type, steel tube type, aluminum copper type, cast iron type, and copper type. Because it is surface-mounted, the cast iron can be eliminated. In comparison, aluminum alloy is cheap, beautiful, fast heat dissipation, and not easy to rust. It is recommended to use aluminum alloy.
Collective heating: Collective heating can produce strong corrosion to aluminum because of the softened water used in the formula. In addition, the design compressive strength of aluminum alloy is not large, so it cannot be used.
Therefore, it is recommended that you use the steel pipe type. Steel tube radiators generally have finned type, column type, composite type, and art type. You can adopt it according to your preference.
Regardless of the type you use, it is highly recommended that all your fittings be made of copper!!
Although you want to use surface-mounting, it is recommended that you bury the pipes so that only the radiator is exposed. It is best to have radiators in every room, and the number of radiators should not be less than 60 of the room area, that is to say, the radiators of a 20-square-meter room should not be less than 12. A radiator can install up to 15 pieces, which not only costs more money, but also has a low utilization rate. Waste.

Many of us know that if we choose to install radiators concealed in our homes, we will definitely save more space, but why do more people prefer to choose surface-mounted radiators? What are the pros and cons of surface-mounted radiators?
The surface-mounted radiator mainly refers to the exposed heating water supply pipe and the return pipe, which is usually connected in parallel with two pipes, that is, the water supply pipe of each branch pipe is connected with the return pipe through some joints, which is suitable for old houses and hardcover rooms. Heating pipes should be laid in hidden locations, such as baseboards, interior corners, suspended ceilings or curtains, and the back of furniture. Horizontal and vertical, no excavation and no backfill, basically does not affect the original decoration, simple and beautiful.
In particular, it is perfect for office workers like editors. A *** radiator can reach the preset temperature in half an hour, not too great. The key is that there is no requirement for ground materials, and the business can design an optimal plan according to the actual decoration of the owner's home.
What are the advantages of surface-mounted radiators?
1.There is no time requirement, surface-mounted radiators are the most convenient, they can be installed anytime and anywhere, whether before, during or after decoration, don't worry about missing the best decoration time, but in fact, many people also recommend that radiators are best installed after the floor and wall decoration is completed, so that the radiators will not be harmed during the decoration process.
2.The installation time of surface-mounted radiators is relatively short, because the surface-mounted radiator design is relatively simple, does not consume a large number of events, does not need to be measured in advance, and does not need to worry about destroying the original decorative style. Therefore, the installation is more time-saving and labor-saving, and can basically be completed in two or three days.
3.It will be more convenient to use in the future. In fact, many people will worry about the various maintenance problems that surface-mounted radiators will encounter in their daily use in the future.
If the radiator is installed in a concealed manner, maintenance will be more cumbersome and expensive. If it is surface-mounted, we can find the quality problem of the radiator in advance and repair it in time, which is very convenient and worry-free.

Surface-mounted radiator is a surface-mounted technology, the plumbing system is installed on the surface of the wall, try to avoid slotting and punching holes in the interior wall or ground that has been decorated, surface-mounted radiator is tailor-made for the renovated house, especially suitable for the renovated and occupied houses.
Economical, effective, convenient, and affordable options.
Surface-mounted advantages. Do not destroy the home improvement pattern.
Radiator surface-mounted system pipes are not on the wall. It's quick and easy to put in place.
Easy to install. The installation period of radiators is short, and the house within 100 square meters can be completed in 1 day, and the construction period is relatively short, which will not affect the daily life of the family.
The heating safety effect is good.
The surface temperature of the radiator is about 50 degrees, and it will feel very hot when you touch the radiator with your hands, but it will not burn people. Compared with other heating, surface-mounted radiators heat up quickly, easy to control, and have better heating effects.
Real-life examples. As people's quality of life becomes higher and higher, the pursuit of comfort and ritual has become more and more normal.
As a radiator, it not only brings a comfortable temperature to the home, but also can enhance the style of home life, which is popular with the public and adds beauty and warmth to life.

Radiators, because of their simplicity and practicality, are loved by the public, and the installation and maintenance are very simple, so there are many users who choose to install radiators. So, is it better to install the heating openly or covertly? Let's follow the golden flagship flag brother to find out.
The two types of routing of radiators are as follows:
First, the connection method of the radiator surface-mounted pipe:
1. The steel radiator is connected in series with a single pipe, which is simple and saves pipes. However, the radiator (especially the end) should be increased accordingly, and the temperature of each room cannot be adjusted and closed individually, the system resistance is large, and the boiler outlet water temperature is required to be high.
2. The single-tube series plus the crossing tube solves the problem of separate control of each radiator, but the other problems above still exist, and the cost of the increased radiator bypass device is higher.
3. Twin pipes are connected in parallel, the connection method is relatively complicated, but it is very convenient for the control of each group of radiators. Usually the main pipe is arranged at the top of the room, and each radiator is connected to the horizontal main pipe with a vertical branch pipe, which is convenient for system adjustment and maintenance. The problem is that there are too many pipes in the room, which affects the decoration, and the air in the system is not easy to discharge, which is easy to produce pipeline water flow noise.
Second, the connection method of the dark pipe:
1. Diffusion type (octopus) connection, using a water collector to connect with each group of radiators respectively, each group of radiators is an independent pipe, there is no joint underground, each radiator is easy to control, usually using cross-linked polyethylene pipe or aluminum-plastic composite pipe. The problem is that the pipe groove is too wide, and the pipe consumption is large.
2. Twin pipes in parallel, suitable pipes are cross-linked polyethylene pipes, aluminum-plastic composite pipes, copper pipes and composite copper pipes, the advantage is that all pipes are buried, the indoor pipes are simple, the radiators are easy to control, and the heating system is very beautiful after installation. The problem is that the process of pipeline connection should be good, the joint should not leak, the ground should be slotted, and the construction should be relatively complicated.
The large w in the technical performance of radiators is the unit of measurement of thermal power. It refers to the hourly heat dissipation (watts) of each meter or each piece (column) radiator under different working conditions. The W in the radiator is the same as the power W in other appliances such as light bulbs, electric stoves, etc.
The higher the number of watts, the greater the heat dissipation capacity of its radiators.

Now the heating is all concealed. Concealed installation is space-saving surface installation. Surface-mounted clothes are all visible from the outside.
-
When it comes to installation, we should know that the radiator actually uses the principle of heating air to heat the indoor air through the heat continuously emitted by the radiator to achieve the purpose of heating. The radiator installation method allows the radiator to be directly exposed to the outside, allowing the heat to dissipate unimpeded, and the heating effect is excellent. The main installation method is to divide the open installation and concealed installation, both of which are commonly used, but also have their own characteristics.
Surface-mounted radiator is the radiator to be installed on the surface of the wall, and then the specific point is that the heating pipe and return pipe are exposed on the surface, the old house that has been renovated, when installing heating, the pipeline is laid from the ceiling of the room, the wall and other places that can be seen, it is called surface-mounted.
Surface-mounted radiator: At any time, you can install it if you want to, and the general house type will be installed in one or two days, which will not affect the user's life.
Concealed radiator refers to the installation method of burying pipes under the wall or floor before the water and electricity come out after the completion of civil construction, and finally completing the installation of radiators. Due to the hidden pipes, it saves some space compared to surface-mounted heating, but this requires the user to calculate the location of the pipe device and radiator device at the beginning of the decoration.
Concealed radiators: Users need to determine the location of hanging and the direction of the pipeline before decorating the house. In the early stage, the slotted hidden pipes were opened, and the decoration was roughly over, and the radiators were hung up, and the work was to be determined.
Unrenovated users can use both ways, and for those who have already moved in, they will ask if there are any other advantages of surface-mounted radiators? In fact, surface-mounted radiators are the choice of many people, especially users in the south.
1. Do not destroy the home decoration. Heating pipes are laid near baseboards, ceilings, etc., so they will not cause alteration or damage to the original home decoration.
2. The installation is simple and convenient. The surface-mounted radiator can be installed after the decoration is completed, which saves the user's scruples and trouble, and only carries out the construction in a small area and will not affect the user. Users can also choose the radiator size and material according to the available situation.
3. Easy maintenance. All the pipes of the surface-mounted radiator are exposed indoors, and in the later maintenance and repair, the crux of the problem can be easily found without digging the wall and breaking the wall.
The difference between the two installation methods lies in the installation location of the pipes and the requirements for the installation environment. Whether it is open or dark, it depends on the progress of the decoration and the preferences and needs of your family. The others aren't much different either.
At the same time, the installation of heating is a very technical work, you must find a professional installation master to install, generally large manufacturers can provide door-to-door installation services.

Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, surface-mounted, good heat dissipation effect, concealed installation is beautiful but will affect the heat dissipation.

Some issues that should be paid attention to when installing radiators surface-mounted.
1. You must see the house on site, and you can't make a plan based on a house plan alone. There is a difference between radiators in a renovated house and radiators in an unrenovated house. On-site and business owners have detailed communication to understand the needs of customers and make reasonable suggestions at the same time.
2. For the bathroom heating, it is best for the owner to provide a detailed water and electricity layout. Because it involves the wiring groove conduit, there is no drawing, and I don't know where the water pipe wire is.
3. After looking at the house and understanding the needs, you have to make a plan. However, it should be noted that the heat loss of the open pipe of the exposed radiator pipe is greater than that of the dark pipe, so it should be larger than the dark pipe when distributing heat! Otherwise, it won't heat up.
4. It's time to enter the market, safety is the most important! This requires the construction workers to have good quality and the company's strict management. After installation, tell the owner how to debug the boiler.
5. When laying pipelines, we should pay attention to the direction of the pipeline, and hide what can be hidden. Some customers will choose to use a white trunking to cover the tube inside, which is also a good way.
6. Because it is a well-decorated house, it is necessary to pay attention to protecting the decoration of the owner's home during construction, and it is best to carry out the construction on the basis of not destroying the decoration. At the same time, before construction, we will discuss with the owner and cover the furniture, household appliances and other items with plastic sheets.
7. Although the surface-mounted radiator is convenient for later maintenance and repair, the construction difficulty has increased due to many constraints in the installation. Therefore, we must pay attention to the process of pressure test and pressure holding, perfect pressure holding data is the best proof to eliminate the hidden danger of water leakage, in order not to destroy the existing decoration, it is inevitable to make holes in the wall when installing heating pipes, so it is necessary to pay attention to reminding the construction personnel to protect the details of the wall.
8. The radiator should be installed in an area with strong air convection, such as under the window or by the door, which is conducive to ensuring the effect of indoor heating. Pipelaying is routed from hidden places, making the most of hidden areas such as ceilings and baseboards.

Precautions for radiator installation:
1. Determine the position of the radiator, and determine the position where the radiator is installed for the best heating effect, the best aesthetics, and the best safety performance;
2. During the installation of radiators, pay attention to the safety and sealing is the key, and we must pay attention to the places where there is no water leakage.
3. Radiator test acceptance, heating system is a durable consumer product that needs a period of verification, so the necessary test is indispensable. Usually during the replacement construction, the worker will reserve the valve on the pipeline, and the stamping test should be carried out after installation to prove that there is no running, rising, dripping, and leaking place before the acceptance can be completed.
4. If you can install a short film, you will not be able to make a long film, which is convenient for hot water circulation; 5. Try to install it under the window, the hot air is going up, and it is also convenient for hot air circulation;
6. Heating is a durable consumer product, and the replacement cycle is long and troublesome. The consequences of the problem are more serious, so be sure to choose a reliable brand, including valves, water pipes and other accessories, do not try to save money, the details can be learned on the comfort first network, I hope it can help you.
