What radiators put in an apartment: ready to pay a fine after the replacement?

Flowed radiators of old age - quickly change them with new ones. But that's no reason to put in place of the old iron new bimetallic battery. Start by replacing old radiators due to the fact that last winter you little podmerzli - also not the best solution. Attempts to improve the apartment can end up with legal action and a rather big fine.

When it comes to the plumber, he is ready to establish what you give him. It helps you choose the best heating devices from those that are in the stores, and the right to provide its own way. But a fine of not less. As a designer, I will tell what Auca such alterations to the heat balance of the house perspective. The penalty provided for in the laws is not casual.

Why can not I change the type of radiator

When calculating the heating system takes into account many parameters: floor space, ceiling height, the presence of doors and windows, Orientation, type of radiators, etc.

When the coolant flows through the riser, he passes one battery after another and gradually releases the heat in the room. In the radiator, which is the first on the pitch, smaller fins. As the distance from the flow line number of sections increases. This is done in order to evenly heat the all premises despite the cooling of the coolant.

If you want to make the room warmer, the output is simple - put a more powerful battery: add a number of sections, to change them into modern aluminum or bimetal. Now, when the coolant flows through your battery, it will give more heat and more cool. One tenant "insulate", second, third... to the last man on the riser comes a little warm water.

If you freeze in an apartment, it does not mean that the house is poorly designed or boiler room does not drown. Most likely someone from the neighbors made their apartment warmer, placing more powerful radiators.

Output two: put themselves more powerful battery and freeze the last riser neighbor or bring the issue to the VES, find the culprit, put back the batteries, thereby restoring the thermal balance of the house.

What you can do, and what not

changed radiators, more powerful theoretically impossible. In practice, tenants often do so during the seasonal draining the heating system. But replacing a nobody agrees. Designers can sometimes "push" Replace the batteries in the last apartment on the riser. Self increase in power is always at your own risk. But this does not mean that you can not make the apartment warm.

If the house is old, inside the heating system can be a lot of "garbage". Goals battery is almost not warm. Sometimes they are clean, and sometimes just change for new ones. But the type of radiator is old. Cast iron change on iron and steel to steel. Including maintain the number of sections.

If you do decide to change the type of radiator

Definitely good and bad battery does not happen. The main criterion is the price-quality ratio. Refer to the technical characteristics of power and consider how much it costs you per kilowatt.

Specify a coolant used in the heating system. Water fit any radiators. If poured antifreeze, choose a model designed for him.

If we change the radiator, take power with the stock at twenty percent. Reduce the temperature of the regulator is always possible. And if you continue after replacing the freeze, it would be a shame.

If it turns out to do without the replacement of radiators, try to leave the old batteries. Decided on a replacement, be prepared to pay fines and restoration of the old system.
