Rifar Radiators: Range Overview

The brand Rifar is owned by a Russian company located in the Orenburg region, the city of Guy. These devices are suitable for heating systems of both steam and water. Batteries meet the regulations of the laws of Russia and Europe, in addition, insured produced by the company.

Rifar radiators withstand temperatures up to one hundred and thirty-five degrees Celsius. For the manufacture of equipment using modern patented technological developments. Each of its sections consists of steel pipes filled with aluminum alloy, which prolongs the battery performance. Tight cardboard packaging and hermetic film guarantee protection against mechanical damage during transportation of the device.

Radiators can be made in two versions.

• Flex - a method of manufacturing a device with different curves or bumps. Perfectly suitable for extraordinary structures that have concave or convex walls.
• Ventil - the production of batteries with lower connection. Additional installation of the built-in regulating thermostatic valve is made.

Devices that have sections consist of partial use of a bimetal, where vertical tubes are made of steel, while horizontal collectors are aluminum. When special water is used in the heating system without adding antifreeze, its acidity level is within the limits recommended by the manufacturer’s standards. For high-quality operation of this type of radiator, it is necessary to strictly observe the requirements for the installation and use of the product. The design type of the bimetallic device of the Rifar brand differs from other heating equipment by its stylish flow and elegance.If desired, the consumer can choose absolutely any shade and color of the radiator that would be in harmony with the interior of the room.

The working pressure of sectional radiators is equal to twenty atmospheres, which makes up the majority of bimetallic models. This feature is implemented by a special type of vertical channel for heat carrier movements - an oval section. This helps to reduce the hydraulic resistance of the heating device, which improves heat transfer and increases the heating area. The increase in the pressure resource is also achieved by a considerable thickness of the channel walls - 2.8 millimeters. Since 2011, aluminum radiators have been used in systems with antifreeze, but control of the pH value is necessary. It should be in the limit of seven - eight. On such models there is a special sticker of bright yellow color with the specified types of the most suitable heat carriers.

The main technical characteristics of Rifar batteries can be seen below:

The technical and operational parameters of the devices brand Rifar include:

• manufacturers warranty for a period of twenty-five years (assuming proper transportation and installation in the building);
• radiators are characterized by a fairly high heat transfer, which allows to maintain the necessary heat regime indoors;
• the battery core is completely made of rust-resistant steel, which allows Rifar to be operated with absolutely different thermal carriers;
• the integrity of the equipment design completely eliminates the appearance of leakage, which ensures the operation of the device in heating systems with antifreeze;
• battery performance is designed for thermal media, which heats up to one hundred thirty-five degrees Celsius;
• working pressure is at least one hundred atmospheres, and short-term pressure is equal to one hundred and fifty atmospheres;
• the device is easily mounted.

Although the bimetallic radiator is distinguished by the excellent qualities of consumer exploitation, it still has its drawbacks. The main disadvantage of Rifar heating equipment is associated with a partial bimetallic structure. The disadvantages of radiators include a weak thread. There are downsides to all battery models, so let's move on to parameters that deserve approving reviews. Devices brand Rifar have a lot of advantages.

The main advantage is low prices for products. This characteristic is carried out due to the fact that Rifar in the device almost does not use expensive nodes. The price is set depending on the number of sections, depending on the size and insulation of the heated room. The production of the battery occurs in the following way: the incomplete use of bimetallic material using spot welding. This helped to pretty well reduce the cost of production.

The company offers its customers a diverse range of radiators for different operating modes. These include: models that work only on a specific type of heat carrier (filtered, soft water only); radiators,that work well with tap water of varying hardness; batteries that work with antifreeze and water.

The manufacturing country offers the users an extensive list of radiator models with individual characteristics.

Standard battery models are of three types: Base 200, 350, 500. The numbers in the title indicate the distance between the axes. The larger the number, the more powerful the battery and the better the heat transfer. Thus, the Base 500 radiator is best used in large-scale buildings or in houses with poor thermal insulation. The rest of the batteries are more common in buildings with limited space. Standard models are different from others by a good value for money, design and reliability. These characteristics are achieved with the help of production technology. Radiators are made of high-quality stainless steel tubes and aluminum foundations made using an injection molding method.

One of the most common models of the Russian manufacturer, capable of acting with different types of thermal media at the very hard exploitation. This model can take out the working pressure up to hundreds of atmospheres and coolant with temperatures up to 135 degrees Celsius. These functions are achieved by high precision when welding a structure. A distinctive feature of this line is considered nonseparable structure of radiators. This is done to enhance the strength of the device. Sections are connected by welding seams for using batteries in a high-pressure carrier system. The most frequent in operation are the batteries Rifar Monolit 500.

Included are the necessary components, which allows you to do the installation yourself without the help of a specialized company. The scope of application of this model has no boundaries. They work wonderfully both in private homes and in public institutions (medical, educational institutions). According to the manufacturers, Monolit can be used for up to fifty years, approximately, like the suitability of cast iron batteries.

If you need to save space, a series of radiators will be indispensable. According to the characteristics of this model is not inferior to other categories. A distinctive quality of the radiator is the shallow depth, which is equal to 7.5 cm. Thanks to this, it is possible to prepare smaller niches or to arrange batteries without using them by hanging the grilles for protection. In this case, the heat output is at the highest level. The number of sections varies from four to fourteen. The device is used in rooms with wide window openings.

This series of recently released Rifar radiators. They are used in standard heating systems and as oil electric heaters. What makes this device special is the oval cross section of the vertical channel and the use of an aluminum alloy whose wall thickness is 2.8 millimeters. What can withstand pressure up to twenty atmospheres.

Here are the parameters of one section of this type of radiator:

These are batteries of a bimetallic monolithic structure, having a working pressure of one hundred atmospheres. This model stands along with a heating device with high aesthetic qualities due to the originality of its design. One section has the following structure: a two-pipe vertical channel of steel, which allows the device to have a large heat output, which is being tested. For this model, it is equal to 202 W / section.

A feature of the equipment is the acceleration of vertical movement of an intrasectional convective flow of heated air with uniform distribution of heat throughout the device. One of the uniqueness of the model is the connection of sections when using contact-butt welding of the collector, without using nipples. Such fastening has the best signs of working, destructive pressures, stability in interaction with various heat carriers, reliability and protection against leakage.

It should be noted that the appearance is ergonomic, safe, beautiful and thorough. Supremo batteries come in two forms:

• Supremo 500 with a distance between the axles of 500 millimeters;
• Supremo 350 with an axle spacing of 350 millimeters.

In addition to the company Rifar, there is another standing company - Halsen. Batteries made of aluminum of this company are produced in the Russian Federation by the company "Forte-Prom". This device is created by die-cast aluminum. Products are manufactured with a distance between the axles of 500 mm. This puts restrictions on the installation of the radiator - only for certain wiring of heating pipes. The working pressure is kept at around sixteen atm, the test pressure is twenty four atm. Batteries are adapted for use in systems with central heating in buildings with a height not exceeding ten floors. These radiators contribute to the automatic regulation of the flow of thermal media, thermostats and valves. The dimensions of these structures are limited. In order to avoid leakage, pressure testing is used in the battery. The mass of one section is not more than a kilogram. The assembly of the radiator is only even, and the maximum attainable number of sections is equal to twelve.To create a device of this model using German technology castings and equipment.

Determining the required model of the battery, it is necessary to make a start primarily from the type of heating system. There are only two types of such systems: centralized and autonomous heating. Both types require different types of heating devices.

For centralized systems characterized by high working pressure and its fluctuations. In comparison with the European heating system, ours are one-pipe, the batteries of which are connected in series. In addition, you should not worry about the smoothness of the inclusion of centrifugal pumps. Sharp inclusions are accompanied by hydraulic shocks. The water of this system can not be called clean and neutral. She has a high level of acidity, she is tough; with summer discharge of such water, rust is formed in many batteries. This type of heating requires batteries that withstand a working pressure of six and nine atm. When choosing a battery should be aware of the acidity of water. It is necessary to choose a device that will be able to work with a high pH value.

Several types of batteries are considered a suitable option for this heating system.

• Cast iron batteries, which are characterized by longevity, with full protection and resistance to rust. The working pressure of the cast iron product is six to sixteen bar.
• Non-corrosive devices include bimetallic batteries (for example, Rifar equipment). Such batteries are able to withstand a pressure of thirty five bar (batteries with different number of sections) and one hundred bar (monolithic equipment).

Autonomous heating systems are very different from the above. Here the movement of water occurs in a circular cycle (two-pipe heating), the pressure of which is no more than three to five bar, the acidity, respectively, does not exceed the norm. In this water there are no malicious additions. Consequently, almost all types of batteries are suitable for this type of heating.

Experts advise using the following heating devices for an autonomous system:

• aluminum radiators with a very high heat transfer;
• Steel devices, which are the cheapest, which have an attractive appearance and quite interestingdesign;
• proven cast iron batteries are sometimes used.

But also when choosing a radiator, it is necessary to take into account the battery section. Radiators can have the following number of sections - 8, 10, 12.

For self-calculation of the required number of sections, it is necessary to take into account the following parameters:

• dimensions of the room for which calculations are performed;
• power of the radiator as a whole or its one section, this information can be found in the technical documents offered by the manufacturers of the heating device.

Heating calculations for a house should begin with determining the power of the battery. Selecting batteries for large cottages, you should attract experts. If the house is small, one-story, these calculations can be done personally, using a simplified scheme. Most consumers prefer to install radiators with a lower connection. One of the reasons for this choice is aesthetics. This type of installation allows you to hide the connection trunk.

In models of cast iron and aluminum, this installation option is not available.Bottom shoeing is feasible for steel equipment (panel and tubular).

The bottom connection is divided into the following types:

• top down;
• unilateral;
• versatile;
• in the center.

When choosing a battery, it is also necessary to take into account its dimensions. If the device does not fit under the window, then divide the number of sections into two parts, then from one device you get two. The length of the first battery will be equal to seventy-five percent of the window opening, the second will be equal to the remaining length. The second radiator can be installed at the side walls, connecting with the pipeline. In the opposite case, it is necessary to take sections with a smaller center distance and height. The return of heat of such batteries is less, therefore, the length of the radiator during recalculation will grow and will look great. In the production of the Russian company Rifar, the distance between the axes is fifty mm.
