Is it better to install more radiators?

For the installation of radiators, there are many people who blindly choose radiators in order to save money during installation, eliminating the measurement link in the middle, in fact, the manufacturer's people will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the site when measuring, and then calculate the size and number of radiators; So this step of measurement is essential, in the past, users often counted the radiator as small, and now users like to add a few more pieces after calculation, which includes some users blindly add the number of pieces, thinking that the more radiators, the better, is it true? Let's follow the golden flagship flag brother to find out.

First, the number of radiators in a single group is too much: this is also a common mistake that people often make, thinking that it is so good-looking, the number of two groups of radiators is added to a group of radiators, so that the radiators are too long, and a problem is encountered, the inlet and outlet of the radiator are not changed, the water pressure is not changed, and the distance from one end of the radiator to the other end is doubled, which needs to increase the temperature of the water outlet of the radiator, so under the existing constant temperature, the water outlet of the radiator will produce the phenomenon of not being hot, or the radiator is not hot before and after; Therefore, although we have an increase in the number of radiators, in fact the amount of heat dissipation has not changed (because there is not so much heat in the passing water), so we spend more money, but the indoor temperature does not rise;

Second, the number of radiator groups is too much: one is to bring unnecessary waste, radiators have to spend money to buy, and at the same time to install money, so there is no need to spend more, but also bring some counter-effects, that is, the indoor temperature is too high, making people feel hot, resulting in too large temperature difference between inside and outside, plus the air is too dry, it is easy to damage human health;

For central heating users, the inlet water temperature of the radiator is generally as follows:

Fifty or sixty degrees, and the outlet temperature is thirty or forty degrees, if it means that it is too low and there is a problem, either the water pressure is too low and the water flow does not meet the requirements, or the radiator is too long, and the water flows from the inlet to the outlet and becomes cooler. All in all, when installing radiators, we must ask professionals to measure on site to help us calculate the size of the radiators.

People who don't know about radiators, especially southern users, still have a lot of confusion, such as how much is the right amount of home improvement radiators? Some users will wonder, is it true that the more pieces installed, the warmer the room will be? In fact, the number of radiators installed is also particular, below, the radiator brand Rubens will introduce to you what are the factors that affect the number of radiators installed.

Affected by radiator material.

At present, the development of the HVAC market is becoming more and more mature, and there are many radiator materials on the market, the mainstream is steel radiator and copper-aluminum composite radiator, due to different materials, its thermal conductivity effect is different, so the heat dissipation effect of radiators of different materials is different.

Affected by heat dissipation.

When we buy radiators, we will find that there is a "W" logo on the radiators, which is the heat dissipation of a single radiator, the larger the heat dissipation, the better the heat dissipation effect! Therefore, the radiator with better heat dissipation effect is installed, as long as the indoor heating demand can be met, the number of pieces can be relatively small; If you choose to install radiators with less heat dissipation, you can increase the number of radiators as appropriate to achieve the ideal indoor heating effect.

Affected by the size of the house.

When purchasing radiators, we must purchase them according to their actual situation, some users have a relatively large living area, and the number of radiators that need to be installed will increase, otherwise it is difficult to reach the expected temperature indoors; If a small area of the house is installed with too many pieces, it is easy to cause insufficient water pressure, the heating system will appear half cool and half hot, and the temperature is not uniform enough, which will also affect the aesthetic effect of the room! Therefore, when buying radiators, we must choose big manufacturers and big brands and tailor-made them to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Affected by geography.

In our country, the area where radiators are more concentrated is the north, and the use of southern regions is gradually increasing in recent years, however, there is a certain difference in the climate temperature of the north and south, the south is relatively warm, and the north is colder, therefore, the same radiator is the same house type, and the region is different, the number of pieces installed will be different, the southern user may install a few to achieve the expected temperature, for the colder north, the number of pieces needs to be increased, in order to make the indoor temperature more suitable!

There are also a lot of skills in the selection of radiators, Rubens radiators remind that when purchasing, you must choose a large manufacturer, there is a perfect pre-sales and after-sales integrated tracking service, not afraid of buying expensive, afraid of buying wrong, affecting the indoor heating effect, and then the gain outweighs the loss.

Definitely not the more the better, just the right amount, the specific number of pieces to be calculated by the heat load, as well as the type of radiator you choose, different radiators have different heat dissipation areas.

The number of radiators installed is certainly not the more the better, it depends on the area and location of the space. At the same time, radiators with different heating power and functions can produce different heating effects, which should be analyzed according to the specific situation.

Hello. The radiator is not installed as much as possible, as long as it reaches the necessary arithmetic to exert its good heat dissipation performance and achieve normal heating effect.

The number of pieces needed is calculated based on the heat load of the room. Different materials and forms of radiators need to be installed differently because of the difference in their heat dissipation area.

Home improvement radiators are not as much as possibleThe more radiators there are, the better the heating is good. When installing radiators, it is generally necessary to arrange the number and height of radiators to be installed according to the indoor area, heating system circulation, indoor thermal insulation effect, etc., if the number of radiators installed is too large or the installation height is unreasonable, it may bring potential safety hazards.

More radiators mean more energy consumption. If the daily heat requirement of the home is 100, and each radiator can only provide 10 calories per day, then generally only 10 radiators can meet the user's needs. However, if you install an extra radiator, you will lose an extra 10 units of heat per day in your home, which is an additional cost to the heating system, which will increase the user's heating costs and is not conducive to energy saving.

The more radiators, the more it will affect the interior decoration. Because the more radiators, the higher the installation height, the more indoor space needs to be occupied, which will cause the placement of other items in the room to become smaller, affecting the interior decoration effect. In addition, when installing radiators, it is also necessary to take into account the width and height of the windows, in general, the total number of radiators should not exceed the height of the window sill, otherwise it will affect the interior decoration effect.

There is no difference, there is a difference in temperature. Heating is circulated back and forth through hot water, and when merchants sell, they are based on "piece" units, not according to weight and square meters; Therefore, the heat dissipation of the radiator is how many square meters of heating is provided for one piece and how many pieces are in a group.

The most comfortable heating temperature is 23°C. Too high a temperature in a heating room not only consumes energy, but also causes discomfort such as chest tightness and breathing pain. Some data studies have shown that the most comfortable temperature for the human body is 23°C, so if you want a heated room to be more comfortable and pleasant, you can adjust the temperature to 23°C.

During the day, the body produces more heat, and the temperature can be lowered by 1-2 degrees to save energy.

Tests have proven that people feel cold when the temperature is below 14°C. Adults have a good physique, and when it is more than 10 degrees Celsius, you can add clothes to keep warm, so you can consider turning on the heating when it is below 10 degrees Celsius. Young children, pregnant women, and the elderly are weak and prone to colds, so they can turn on the heating when the temperature is lower than 14°C.

The wall-hung boiler can carry about 35 radiators.

Radiators are mainly used in the northern areas where the winter is cold, and have the effect of keeping warm, and cast iron radiators were mostly used in the past, but now radiators of more materials have been developed. Cast iron radiators have gradually withdrawn from the market stage, steel radiators, copper-aluminum composite radiators, aluminum radiators and other new radiators are superior to cast iron radiators in terms of material and production process, becoming the most mainstream radiators in the market.

Wall-hung boiler with radiator heating, depending on the heating area of the house to choose, the furnace has several kW power, 18kw, which can be used in an area below 85 square meters, 24 of which is used in 120 square meters and 28 of which is used in 150 square meters, and the radiators should be configured according to the size of the room and the heat dissipation of the radiators.

When the ignition switch of the wall-hung boiler enters the working state, the fan starts first to form a negative pressure difference in the combustion chamber, the wind pressure switch sends the command to the water pump, and after the pump starts, the water flow switch sends the command to the high-pressure discharger, and the command is sent to the gas proportional valve after starting, and the gas proportional valve starts to start.

It's no difference, it's just a difference in temperature.

The national standard indoor heating temperature is 18 °C, the inlet water is 80 °C, the return water is 60 °C, and the configuration of the general radiator is also configured according to this standard, and the outlet water temperature of the floor heating is set at 40 °C to reach 18 °C.

There are three common ways of heating in winter: air conditioning, floor heating, radiators, the standard of heating comfort temperature is 16-24, whether air conditioning, floor heating or radiators, it is most appropriate to set the indoor temperature in this range. For water floor heating and radiators, the water temperature of general floor heating is set at 45, and the water temperature of radiators is set at about 75, which can achieve the most comfortable room temperature.

When using floor heating, many people will have such a misunderstanding: turn on when you use it, turn it off when you don't use it, which looks more energy-saving, but in fact, this idea is wrong.

Floor heating is thermally inert, it does not heat up immediately when it is turned on, and the heat is not immediately lost when it is turned off, so the temperature lag makes it take more time for the system to reach the set temperature when it is turned on, which not only does not save energy, but also increases operating costs. The correct approach should be to keep the underfloor heating running at a low temperature when not in use, and the temperature can be turned down separately in rooms that are not used frequently, and the system can be completely turned off only when the home is not occupied for a long time.

Of course, the heating efficiency of multiple pieces is high. Although the flow rate can be approached, the temperature of the outlet must be low for multiple pieces.

Not necessarily the more radiators you have, the warmer it gets.

1. Affected by the material of the radiator.

There are also many radiator materials, the main ones are steel radiators and copper-aluminum composite radiators, due to different materials, their thermal conductivity effects are different, therefore, the heat dissipation degree and effect of each material radiator are different.

2. Affected by heat dissipation effect.

The greater the heat dissipation of a single radiator, the better the heat dissipation effect, therefore, the radiator with better heat dissipation effect is installed, as long as the indoor heating demand is reached, it can be heated when it is opened, and the number of pieces can be relatively less, and the radiator with small heat dissipation can be installed to increase the number of pieces to achieve the indoor heating effect.

3. Affected by the size of the house.

The living area is relatively large, the number of radiators installed will increase, otherwise it is difficult to reach the expected temperature indoors, and if the small area of the house is installed with too many pieces, it is easy to cause insufficient water pressure, the heating system will appear half cool and half hot, and the temperature is not uniform enough, which will also affect the indoor aesthetic effect.

Extended Information: Radiator Maintenance Tips:

1. The air release valve, plug and pipe fittings on the pipeline connected to the radiator should be inspected, and the threaded connection should be tightened if there is looseness (affected by thermal expansion and cold contraction) to avoid water leakage after heating.

2. Find out the material of the heat sink and the appropriate maintenance method for heating. Different materials of heat sink maintenance methods are different, such as steel heat sink generally use full water maintenance method, while aluminum does not need to.

According to the reason, it is true, but sometimes there is no need, the radiator should occupy the indoor space when installed, and the radiator can make the room warm up after heating up, there is no need to install a lot, it is recommended to find a professional HVAC company to design and install.

The number of radiators is not enough, and the whole group of radiators needs to be replaced, and there is no way to add pieces to a single group of radiators.

At present, the installation of new radiators is based on groups, and the number of pieces cannot be increased individually, but the number of groups can be increased.

If the central heating user wants to increase the number of radiator groups, they need to wait until the heating is stopped to increase, and the self-heating user can increase the number of radiator groups, you can close the radiator valve and then release the water in the radiator, and then install a group of radiators. However, you need to find a professional decoration master to choose a radiator of the same material for installation.
