The best heating radiators for an apartment and a private house in 2020

The Russian market for heating devices is huge, and it is difficult for a common man to understand all the technical characteristics when choosing the right battery. The editorial staff of the site "bestx.htgetrid.com/en/" brings to your attention a rating of the best heating radiators for an apartment and a private house in 2020. We will tell you about the pros and cons of the 10 best thermal systems.

main parameters

Before moving on to the rating, it is worth touching on the topic of parameters that you need to rely on when choosing heating devices.

The following characteristics must be taken into account:

• Type of material of manufacture;
• heat transfer;
• connection methods;
• maximum working pressure.

Now there are 4 types of materials.

Steel radiators

This type of thermal system has good heat transfer, they are easy to install and serve for a long time, as they are simple in their design.

But steel is highly susceptible to corrosion, does not withstand the pressure of the central heating system, and paint quickly peels off them.

Cast iron radiators

Cast iron is resistant to all types of corrosion, including at high temperatures. He's not afraid of high blood pressure either. It warms up the room well, is easy to install and serves for a long time. The service life of cast iron appliances is at least 50 years.

But with the help of such systems, the room heats up for a very long time, and after shutdown it cools down for another hour. They may not withstand sudden water shocks, which causes the battery to crack and even burst. And also the disadvantage of cast iron systems is their bulkiness and uniformity. Design hasn't changed for decades. You can order them with original patterns and designs, but then the price will be much higher.

Aluminum radiators

Aluminum systems are lightweight, aesthetically pleasing and cheap. High heat transfer is the main advantage of this type of device. In addition, they have low thermal inertia, which makes it possible to quickly heat up the room. The pressure at which the batteries work quietly is 10-16 atmospheres. These parameters make aluminum heating systems the most suitable for living quarters.

The main disadvantage of aluminum is its high chemical activity. To avoid interaction with the environment, an oxide film is required, which forms a barrier.

Also, the poor quality of the water passing through the system can lead to corrosion. The device must be equipped with an air vent valve so that air can be removed from the upper manifold.

Bimetallic radiators

The service life of such batteries is from 20 to 50 years. This durability is due to the combination of two metals, steel and aluminum. The steel core increases strength, as it is not afraid of high pressure and sudden hydraulic shocks. The outer aluminum coating spreads heat quickly.

The main disadvantage of bimetallic batteries is their high price. There are also more budget options, but they are not protected from corrosion and are prone to rust.

Each specific model has its own special characteristics. And choosing only by the type of material is not entirely correct. We present to your attention a selection of the 10 most optimal options for thermal systems for an apartment and a private house in 2020.
