It is mandatory to calculate heating radiators before proceeding to the issue of their purchase. At least it looks logical. After all, if you do not calculate the required number of sections, there will be no opportunity to purchase the required amount of goods.
It should be said right away that the calculation of the number of heating radiators should be carried out by a specialist, because in addition to having the necessary experience and knowledge in this area, he has special software available.
But, despite this, knowing the basic principles of such an event as the calculation of heating radiators obviously does not hurt. So, it is assumed that the standard power required to heat one square meter is 100 kW. But the fact is that this is the standard value. That is, if the room has only one window unit and a standard floor height, then it will certainly fit. However, this does not happen everywhere and not always.
It is also worth considering that if the room hastwo or more external walls, then the calculation of heating radiators should be carried out on the condition that the total power will be increased immediately by 20 percent. But at the same time, the installation of a plastic window with a double-glazed window makes it possible to reduce this increase in power to nothing. The fact is that such windows perfectly retain heat.
Now let's move on. The following factors also influence the calculation of sections of heating radiators: the presence or absence of an insulating layer; the material from which the walls of the room were made; radiator connection diagram; the presence of decorative grilles on those very radiators and so on. In fact, even if the window sill turned out to be too wide and it closes the radiator too much, this, again, requires an increase in heating power. Indeed, in this case, the heat flow is significantly deteriorating, which creates such a kind of thermal curtain directly in front of the window.
If the ceilings in the room are higher than standard, you have to increase the heating power again. This happens by multiplying the multiplying factor by the calculated power. At the same time, the multiplying factor is the ratio of the calculated and actual heights.
After the calculation of heating radiators has been carried out, you can already decide how many sections you need to purchase. To do this, the total calculated power is divided by the heat transfer of one section. This parameter can be found directly in the store. Also learn about itIt is also possible on the Internet at specialized sites. In general, counting the number of required sections is really not a problem, provided that the calculation of the total heating capacity is correctly carried out.
Well, of course, it is worth remembering that the choice of a heating radiator is an extremely important task. After all, the correct functioning of the entire heating system directly depends on its solution. We can say for sure that few people have the desire to freeze on cold winter evenings.
