How to choose radiators?What is the difference between materials?

The material of the radiator will not be the same depending on the heating environment.

Aluminum radiator, strong heat transfer capacity, ** relatively low;However, its structure wall is thin, the corrosion resistance is poor, and there are certain requirements for water quality, so it cannot be used in alkaline water, but internal anti-corrosion treatment can improve the service life.

Steel radiator, its light weight, high pressure, low production energy consumption and other advantages, many styles, many colors. Steel radiators are prone to oxidation when exposed to oxygen, so pay attention during the procurement process.

Cast iron radiator, good thermal inertia, corrosion resistance, safe and reliable, long life, long wall thickness heat storage time, slow corrosion rate, life of about 25 to 30 years. In addition, cast iron radiators are the most inexpensive of all types of radiators, which is very economical.

Copper-aluminum composite radiator, copper-aluminum composite radiator is a relatively cost-effective heating equipment produced in response to the domestic water quality situation, using copper pipe with strong anti-corrosion performance but high cost as a waterway, using excellent heat dissipation performance but relatively low cost of aluminum to dissipate heat, two materials partner, give full play to its advantages of large heat dissipation and rapid heating, but the sales are slightly expensive.

Copper convection radiator, it is not afraid of corrosion but is more expensive. Copper radiators are chosen by many consumers because they are not afraid of corrosion and have a longer service life, and copper has good thermal conductivity and is easy to regulate at room temperature.

Mild steel radiators, mild steel radiators** are affordable, and they also have good thermal insulation properties. However, the metal material inside is easy to be oxidized during use, which will affect the normal use of the radiator.

When buying household radiators, you need to choose a radiator brand with a good reputation to buy, and at the same time, you should also pay attention to asking what material the radiator is easy to use. We can judge the quality of household radiators by looking at the shape, weighing weight, pinching materials, knocking sounds, and touching materials, check whether its appearance is smooth, see whether its materials are sufficient, whether the thickness is consistent, etc., after these five points are carefully checked, we are purchasing.

1. Copper-aluminum composite radiator.

Copper-aluminum composite radiator belongs to the composite material of copper and aluminum, and the biggest advantage of composite material is stable and corrosion-resistant, so it is recommended to choose it better in humid areas in the south, especially in the cool weather in the south, copper-aluminum composite radiator can use its good heat dissipation performance to minimize heat loss. The style of copper-aluminum composite heating is generally very small, does not take up space and is beautiful, and it is also the lightest in weight with the same volume, which is easy to transport and install. The copper-aluminum composite radiator is more suitable for self-heating users, which saves natural gas better and has a good thermal insulation effect.

2. Aluminum radiators.

Aluminum alloy is familiar to everyone, its chemical composition is relatively stable, acid resistance and oxidation resistance, and has good heat transfer, but it is prone to alkaline corrosion, and areas with poor water quality should not be selected. Radiators made of this material are rare on the market.

3. Steel radiators.

Steel has the lowest heat loss and at the same time conducts heat quickly and works best. Because of its delicate material, it needs to be cleaned frequently, but it is very cost-effective and belongs to one of the affordable radiators. But the problem is also very obvious, it is relatively easy to be corroded, and because of the particularity of welding, there is water leakage, and it is easy to be oxidized.

It is not recommended to use steel radiators in areas with poor water quality, and copper-aluminum composite radiators can be considered, which are more resistant to corrosion.

Fourth, cast iron radiators.

More traditional radiators, gradually withdrawn from the heating market. The radiator of this material has good thermal inertness, good mechanical strength, good corrosion resistance, and most importantly, the longest service life in the world. But the appearance is bulky and not good-looking, and the inner cavity is easy to be damaged, and now it is a eliminated product, which can rarely be seen in the city, and now it mostly exists in rural factories and other places.

5. Stainless steel radiator.

The heat transfer capacity is medium, but the corrosion resistance is very strong, no rust and no aging, high pressure bearing and not easy to accumulate scale. It combines all the advantages of stainless steel, but the disadvantages are also quite obvious, the surface adhesion is poor, it is easy to peel off the paint, and at the same time, it is more expensive and cost-effective.

Through the introduction and analysis of the above radiators of different materials, you should have a certain idea of which radiator to choose, and it is most important to choose the radiator suitable for your home heating.

1. Determine the radiator material.

Radiator is a common heating equipment in the family, the material is very important when choosing a radiator, the material determines its heat dissipation effect and safety. When choosing radiator materials, according to the living environment, the common ones are mild steel radiators, copper-aluminum composite radiators, titanium-magnesium-aluminum radiators, brass radiators, etc., but the mainstream radiators on the market are low-carbon steel radiators and copper-aluminum composite radiators.

2. Determine the number of radiators.

The number of radiators is also important, the number of radiators will be related to the heating effect, and it will also be related to your wallet. When purchasing, the number of radiators should be purchased according to factors such as room size and orientation. Radiator manufacturers will have professional masters to measure and issue a scientific and reasonable heating plan.

3. Determine the style and color of the radiator.

There are many styles and colors of radiators on the market, and they should be purchased according to the interior decoration style. Some big brands have beautiful styles and a variety of colors, which can create a simple and stylish home environment. If most of the home is decorated in white, you can choose a white radiator to match the color of the room better.

Different radiator products can be selected in combination with rooms with different functions.

4. Select the radiator according to the function of the room.

The radiators selected in different rooms can also be different, if it is a radiator used in a children's room, be sure to choose a radiator that is safe, smooth in appearance and environmentally friendly. And other rooms should also buy branded radiators to ensure the safety of users. In the kitchen and bathroom, you can choose a small basket style, which can not only heat but also store things.

1. Determine the material of the radiator.

The material is very important when choosing a radiator, which determines its heat dissipation effect and safety. When choosing the material of radiators, it is necessary to follow the living environment, although the materials of radiators are divided into many kinds, steel radiators, copper-aluminum composite radiators, aluminum radiators, cast iron radiators, etc., but in fact, it is common in our lives to be steel and copper-aluminum composites.

2. Determine the safety of the radiator.

When purchasing radiators and accessories, consumers should choose large building materials supermarkets or specialty stores, and be installed by radiator manufacturers or sales store professionals. Otherwise, if the radiator leaks, it will cause big losses. The radiator is full of hot water during the heating season, and if there is a leak, it will not only affect your own house, but also other neighbors.

Especially in the case of children at home, a sudden leakage of the radiator will be a safety hazard.

3. Determine the after-sales of radiators.

It is recommended that when you buy radiators, you should choose a good and guaranteed manufacturer to buy, one is that the radiators produced by this manufacturer are guaranteed, and there is rarely a phenomenon of water leakage and bursting, and there is a safety guarantee, and one is that the manufacturer has the ability to resist risks for a long time, even under the influence of the epidemic, it will not go out of business, and then you can find a manufacturer to deal with the after-sales problem of the radiator.

It can be selected according to the material, or according to the safety, or according to the style; The materials you can choose from are cast iron, copper, composite materials, and steel, which are not the same in terms of reliability, but then different in terms of safety and service life.

When choosing, you should choose stainless steel radiator material, or you can choose copper pipe, you can also choose copper-aluminum composite material, the difference is that stainless steel material will not appear wet, nor will it be corroded, copper-aluminum composite material thermal conductivity is better, copper tube material heat dissipation is better.

When choosing radiators, we should pay more attention to the material and quality, and try to choose some big brands without any peculiar smell; The difference in material is very large, and the different materials are also different, and the degree of durability and high temperature resistance is also different.

Radiators should be carefully chosen, the difference in material is the quality. If it is an independent heating user, also consider its water capacity. Low water capacity does not mean poor heat dissipation.

If you can achieve the same heat dissipation, why not choose a water-saving product? There are also many consumers who usually think that the size of the inlet and outlet of the heating pipe is large, and it is good for water to enter the heating and dissipate more heat. In fact, the amount of heat dissipation has no real relationship with the size of the inlet and outlet pipes, but mainly depends on the flow rate of the water in the heating.

As long as the water flow rate can reach the standard, the heat dissipation will also be ***.

1.The material of the radiator is mainly steel radiator and copper-aluminum composite radiator. The steel radiator material is mainly composed of mild steel, and the copper-aluminum composite radiator is composed of copper tubes and aluminum profiles.

The two types of radiators are suitable for different heating methods and have different requirements for water quality. Because steel cannot be anti-corrosion, it is necessary to pay attention to internal anti-corrosion when purchasing. In order to ensure smooth circulation, large waterway products should also be selected.

The water quality of the central heating environment is complex, which requires the radiator to adapt to a more complex and corrosive environment during operation.

2.Copper-aluminum composite radiator is a high-efficiency and energy-saving radiator made of copper tubes and aluminum. It is a replacement product of the traditional cast iron radiator.

The heat dissipation mode is mainly convection, which is suitable for all kinds of medium and high-end residential and office spaces. Practical and ugly cast iron radiators still occupy a large market for radiators, but with the improvement of people's aesthetic requirements, cast iron radiators are rarely used in newly renovated rooms. In fact, cast iron radiators have many advantages, such as low and strong corrosion resistance, which is suitable for consumers who do not have high requirements for appearance.

3.The copper-aluminum composite radiator has outstanding anti-corrosion performance, wide applicability, excellent heat dissipation function and beautiful appearance. It has become a must-have heating equipment for modern families, especially popular in self-heating homes.

This is mainly because it dissipates heat quickly, has a large amount of heat dissipation, and heats comfortably, making it suitable for people of different ages. When choosing a radiator material, in addition to ensuring good heat dissipation, local water quality needs should also be considered. It is generally recommended that steel radiators can be used in areas with good water quality, and copper-aluminum composite radiators can be used in areas with poor water quality.

The above is the answer to the question of how to choose radiators and what is the difference between materials.

You should choose a good quality, then you should also choose a big brand, you should also choose an off-white one, you should choose a radiator that is resistant to high temperatures, and then you should also choose one that has no odor. The difference in material is very big, the choice of different materials is different, and then the degree of durability is also different, and the degree of high temperature resistance is also different.

You should choose a better heat dissipation effect, you can choose cast iron, you can choose steel, you can choose composite materials, you must pay attention to safety issues, you must choose the right style, try not to choose a peculiar shape, pay attention to the effect of heat dissipation.

Radiators should be selected according to the material, quality, performance, effect, after-sales service, the difference of materials mainly includes steel radiators, cast iron radiators, copper and aluminum composite radiators.

Although the technical content of heating decoration is not high, the style has a certain style. If you want to redecorate your house, you have to spend a little effort on the purchase and installation of radiators, and here are some tips for you to decorate your house and choose radiators!

Bathroom radiator selection: health and well-being. The bathroom is one of the more important things in family planning"Stealth"**, its decoration should be"Health and well-being"for the purpose. The bends should be sophisticated, shiny, and easy to clean. For example, choose to install a small back basket for the bathroom.

Children's room: vivid and peaceful. A children's room should have the following qualities:

A safe environment, rich and colorful colors, vivid furniture shapes, and reasonable and suitable planning for children's sports. The appearance should be lubricated, the corners should be disposed of sophisticated and bright, without sharp corners, and it is not easy to hurt people; The special spraying process on the surface does not contain harmful solvents and heavy metal elements.

Living room: beautiful and noble. Today's radiators are generally a combination of heating and decoration, beautiful appearance, noble and elegant.

Gentle curves, smooth and clean surfaces, colorful colors, common shapes full of personality...It's almost a piece of exquisite art! Placed in the living room, it is indeed the finishing touch.

Bedroom: warm and welcoming. The bedroom is the owner's longest stay in the home**.

Therefore, the furniture and equipment equipped with the most need to highlight the health characteristics, which fully demonstrates this humanized design. The hot air distributed by the radiator is transmitted by convection and radiation. Convection is done by moving the air from the bottom up.

Radiative heat transfer is done through electromagnetic waves, like the solar magnetic field, because the air is not the medium of transmission in this process, so the air is stationary, so as not to provoke the flying of indoor dust. The paint film on the surface is made of electrostatic powder spraying and infrared high-temperature baking paint, which has good brightness, strong adhesion and smooth appearance.

Summary of the experience of choosing radiators: it depends on where it is placed, for different groups of people, zones, the overall color of the renovated house, the matching of appearance, and other aspects.
