The correct installation of the heating system allows you to improve the functionality and efficiency of its operation and extends the life lines of devices intended for warming the house. In this article we will consider this issue in more detail.
Selection of a heating system.
We will begin, perhaps, by choosing a heating system. Regardless of the type of coolant, heating systems are separated by type, depending on what circulation of the coolant is natural or forced. Also, the criteria are the location of the wiring – the upper or lower, and the number of pipes – one or two.
Any heating system can be decomposed into such components as:
The heat generator, in the role of which the boiler that burns fuel most often acts;
heat pipelines that serve to move the carrier;
Heating devices that are needed to heat specific rooms.
The fundamental part of the heating system is most often a boiler, choosing which it is necessary to consider all distinguishing nuances. Namely, the heating boilers differ in the place of fastening, the type of fuel used, in the number of “contours”, as well as in some cases, they may contain a built -in pump for forced circulation of the coolant. Choosing a specific model that corresponds to your technical characteristics of the room, we proceed to establish it. When installing the boiler, it is necessary to comply with the norms and requirements of the gas and fire service and clearly follow the manufacturer’s instructions. After all, this directly concerns the safety of living. Particular attention should be paid to the following moments:
When changing the boiler to a model with greater power, do not forget to calculate whether a new boiler corresponds to an existing system or it also needs to be replaced;
If frequent interruptions with the supply of electricity are observed in the area, it is better to use boilers working without it;
When installing a gas boiler, it is necessary to know the pressure of liquid fuel in the network and find a model with the corresponding parameter.
In addition to all of the above, it is also necessary to decide on the method of installation of heat pipelines. There are two implementation options, in the first case, pipes are hidden in the thickness of the walls, or they can be left open. Since now the breakdown of heat pipelines is extremely rare, the choice of configuration depends only on the overall design of the room.
After choosing a specific model and type, it is necessary to lay a route of heating pipes. The route, in turn, is attached to the area and depends on the following factors:
the places where the boiler and heating devices are located;
technical characteristics of the premises;
volume and area of the heated object.
As for the material from which the pipes are made, it can be different and a specific choice is formed based on a number of factors. The diameter depends on the power of the boiler, batteries and diameter of water pipes at the entrance and exit.
Mandatory rules for installing a heating system.
High -quality heating installation is possible only if the principles below are observed, since their non -compliance can lead to quick breakdown or improper operation of the entire system.
Tilts of heating pipes must be clearly observed;
outputs and entrances leading to heating appliances do not narrow;
When choosing a heating system with artificial circulation of the heat carrier, a pump is required to be clearly spelled out in the instructions of the power, no more and no less;
errors in the project are unacceptable;
When choosing a closed heating system, the amount of fluid in the heating system should correlate with the volume of the accumulator;
The boilers installed in the system must ensure the necessary heating of the entire space by power;
The installation of a security system must be mandatory in the installation of autonomous heating;
batteries must be selected depending on the selected heating system;
Filling the coolant must be done correctly;
Antifreezes and other non -freezing fluids should be used only if it is written in the technical documentation.
The first launch of the heating system should be carried out by specialists who carried out work. Filling the system begins with the lower circuit, and if there is a circulation pump, its operation needs to be checked already at the filling stage, before the boiler is turned on. The last launch must be launched strictly according to the instructions from the technical documentation.
