High-quality and reliable steam heating is popular in the private residential sector, as this system can effectively heat country houses and large cottages. Modern property owners prefer to use ordinary steam as the main heat carrier. Such equipment has numerous advantages and availability. Steam installations are sold in specialized outlets, so that each user can choose the most suitable option.
Description
Steam plants are widely demanded in a private home, as they are not only efficient, but also affordable. Such heating systems compare favorably with all analogues by numerous advantages, the main of which are the following:
- Even a large room warms up as quickly as possible. In accordance with the instruction attached to the steam plant, the main fuel material is characterized by low inertia. Due to this, the rooms warm up quickly andefficient.
- There are absolutely no classical heat costs in the design. This effect is achieved through the use of pipes with a small cross section. Unlike traditional water, steam has excellent heat storage characteristics. Due to this, the unit perfectly transfers heat to the radiators.
- High efficiency. The equipment can be used for a long time without losing its original characteristics. It is advantageous to use the installation, as it is characterized by high performance.
Varieties of models
Steam installations implemented today differ not only in technical, but also in operational characteristics. The equipment can be used in private houses, cottages, as well as in summer cottages. Any heating system differs by the name of the coolant, due to which the heat from powerful boilers and boilers is transported to heating radiators, which are located in the house. Experts distinguish between several of the most sought after systems:
- With warm air transfer.
- Liquid filling material, which can be ordinary water with antifreeze, additives.
- With an open fire (ordinary fireplace).
It is worth noting that the heating systems implemented today with an open source of fire differ in the local principle of operation. They can only heat a room around where they are located. This is a great option for a small private house, which is built in a warmregion.
Working principle
Multifunctional steam dewaxing plant allows experts to not only design but also build a powerful heating system in a private home. Such units can boast a rather serious history, which began to be used back in those days when centralized heating was just gaining momentum in popularity. If a person understands the principle of operation of such a system, then he will be able to design the unit with his own hands. The heating system works according to an elementary scheme - heated water vapor is transferred from the boiler through the pipes, gradually cooling down, after which it returns to the heating device.
Component parts
Classic and mobile steam plant includes a certain list of parts, the final parameters of which depend on the project used:
- In a single-circuit system, preheated coolant is supplied exclusively for space heating.
- In a two-circuit installation, the hot element can also be used for domestic purposes. Most often for washing dishes and hygiene procedures.
If the master decided to make the system on his own, then he needs to understand the fact that the coolant must be heated to high levels. In some nodes, the indicator can reach 1000 degrees. That is why for the complete set it is necessary to choose only proven radiators and high-quality pipelines.
Preparing the scheme
In order for the equipped heating system to serve for more than one year, first of all, you need to create a high-quality project. All nuances must be calculated in advance. The master even needs to specify the length and thickness of the pipes used, as well as the exact number of fixed elements of all existing configurations. Experts recommend using a universal PPU steam installation scheme. Reduction-cooling will help to take hot steam, which is supplied in a uniform flow to the heating units. Also, the master can use convectors, radiators of suitable size, corrugated and classic smooth pipes. After passing through all stages, the steam gradually cools and turns into condensate. These processes can occur both by gravity and with the help of a universal circulation pump. Since the steam heated in a special tank has a rather large penetrating power, the walls of the elements involved should be as thick as possible.
Mounting Features
Installation of a steam boiler in a private house can be done by every man. To solve this problem, several types of materials can be used at once. The steel pipeline has the highest indicators in the field of reliability and durability. Its installation must be carried out using a welding machine. It should be noted that when in contact with high temperatures, steel is quickly exposed to the negative effects of corrosion, which significantly reduces the operational life of the installation. If desired, the master can alsouse galvanized structures or those pipeline models that are made of stainless steel. Relying on the features of the main material, it is better to connect critical places with fasteners according to the type of thread.
When creating powerful steam heating systems, you can use quite expensive copper pipeline models. This material is not only very reliable, but also durable, as it does not react to the presence of heated steam. Between themselves, the copper pipeline is fixed with a blowtorch. The design fits easily into a wall strobe. The service life is at its highest. Copper piping is expensive, which is why it can only be found in luxury cottages.
