Bimetallic radiators of heating Rifar: characteristics and overview of the model range

 Bimetallic radiators of heating Rifar: characteristics and overview of the model range

Before installing or repairing the heating system, it is necessary to correctly select radiators, since the quality of the room heating depends on their properties. To date, various models of radiators are produced, but among them the most preferred are bimetallic, which have a number of positive characteristics.

Design features

Rifar bimetallic radiators of heating have been produced by a domestic company since 2002, which enables customers to purchase efficient, high-quality and stable elements for various heating systems.

The manufacturer in the process of manufacturing bimetallic batteries uses a variety of materials.The main ones are high quality aluminum and steel.High-quality aluminum can withstand high temperature stresses and pressure changes. In 1 section of the heating battery is included a pipe made of metal, where aluminum alloy is poured. This allows you to increase the strength and service life of the radiator.

Rifar bimetallic radiators are manufactured using advanced technologies. and the latest Japanese, German, Italian or Swedish equipment. The preparation cycle includes the processes of refining, removal of gases, checking the quality of the product using spectrometry. It is only after the preparatory stage that the aluminum alloy is poured into the casting block, where it is possible to obtain the required dimensions and geometry. The production of heating batteries is based on the casting method under pressure. During the assembly of parts, specialists clearly adhere to the technical regulations, because only in this way can a good tightness of the equipment be guaranteed.

After testing the tightness of the battery are mechanically marked. The prepared equipment is painted in an electrostatic field, and then the paint is polymerized under the action of ultra-high temperature.

In the automation line, packaging of finished heating batteries takes place in double-layer heat-shrink films, which provide full protection of the surface of the batteries during transportation and installation.

Rifar radiators are available in two versions:

  • "Flex" - the presence on the product of various curves and bumps. They are installed in specific rooms with convex or concave walls.
  • "Ventil" - the battery is additionally equipped with an adjustable thermostatic valve.

Main product specifications:

  • heat carrier temperature - no more than 135 degrees;
  • pressure - up to 20 atmospheres (2.02 MPa);
  • permissible maximum peak load - 30 atmospheres (3.03, MPa);
  • the number of sections is 4-14, but it is possible to reduce them to 2, and also to increase to 24;
  • power - 0,13-0,18 kW.

Advantages and disadvantages

According to reviews of customers using Rifar bimetallic heating batteries, the devices really have all the advantages, features and good quality.

Among the positive characteristics of radiators it is necessary to highlight:

  • versatility, since the battery can be installed in an apartment building or in a private house;
  • possibility of installation in a private and centralized heating system;
  • The maximum temperature of the heat agent is 135 degrees.
  • high thermal capacity, so that the room heats up in the shortest possible time;
  • if necessary, it is possible to independently regulate the heating;
  • low price compared with foreign counterparts.

Rifar radiators are not only distinguished by positive operational features, but also have some drawbacks:

  • The equipment is not completely made of bimetal. And fully bimetallic products have even greater heat transfer and high strength.
  • Unreliable thread, but you can solve this problem yourself.

Tips for choosing

When choosing heating batteries, it is necessary to take into account technical features and operating conditions. Technical features possessed by radiators allow them to be installed in systems with forced operation of a heat agent.Rifar models have high heat output and long service life. Installed in high-rise buildings.

When choosing a bimetallic radiator, it is necessary to focus on their positive qualities:

  • Tightness due to polyurethane sleeve, which acts as a connecting element sections.
  • High thermal performance - one section has a capacity of 0.104, 0.136, 0.204 kW. The highest height of one section is 57 cm. Batteries are available in 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 sectional ones. The heated area of ​​the room is 25 m2.

Monolithic bimetallic batteries are considered the most reliable heating systems that are recommended to be installed in educational, medical and administrative institutions.

High heat emission is created due to the optimal ratio of heat from the radiation and convection chambers. However, the heat transfer of such models is slightly less than that of conventional bimetallic batteries.

The main advantages of monolithic bimetallic radiators:

  • pipe diameter allows for installation to do without adapters;
  • tightness, which is provided by laser welding of heating equipment.

However, monolithic bimetallic batteries can not be connected to the autonomous heating system of the cottages. The recommended optimal connection is to centralized heating systems.

No less important point when choosing a bimetallic battery is the option to connect it. Rifar radiators come with side and bottom connections, each of the options has some advantages.

Side-mounted radiators - “Ventil”. Connection is made by a special node, which is located below the contour. It often happens that after installation and connection, an uneven heating of the sections occurs. To optimize the heating, it is necessary to install a flow extension that will provide intensive circulation of the coolant. Connection is made according to the up-down scheme. Thus, the heat agent will be fed from above, and the outlet through the lower channel. Also, with a large number of sections, you may need a flow extension.

Radiators with bottom connection ensure stable operation of the heating system without installing additional elements. However, to squeeze the air out of the device, it is necessary to connect a Mayevsky valve and a thermostatic head.

In the passport of each device, the manufacturer indicates recommendations for the installation and operation of the product:

  • Water as a heat carrier with a pH of 7 - 8.5. When using another heat agent, there is no guarantee of radiator performance.
  • In order to avoid premature corrosion, it is necessary to take care of grounding, grounding when using metal pipes or liner made of dielectric materials.
  • Installation of the radiator must be made by a specialized installation company.
  • Before installation, the radiator must reach room temperature.
  • It should not be installed in rooms with high humidity levels (more than 75%).

Only with the implementation of these recommendations you can not worry about the duration of the radiator.
