What equipment is needed for the heating system of a house or apartment
One of the most important issues for residents from large cities to small villages was, is and remains - heating.
What is the heating system like? What is better to choose as an autonomous heating system for a house or apartment? What does it consist of and how to choose? - we will answer all these and other questions below, in this article.
To organize a comfortable temperature in an apartment of a multi-storey or private house, different types of heating systems are used.
Each option has its pros and cons. As a rule, an autonomous heating system is divided into 3 main categories, the fundamental difference of which is the coolant:
- Air heating - heating occurs with hot (warm) air.
- Water heating is the most common type. Water (liquid) is the source of heat.
- Electric heating.
The principle of operation of air heating
Air heating is the very first autonomous heating in an apartment or house - fires, fireplaces, stoves.
This type is the simplest and very first way to heat a room, but has some disadvantages:
- heating is uneven;
- dries up the air.
For the organization of air heating, gas heaters, cooking and heating furnaces are used, which have a high level of efficiency .
It is important to make a high-quality, correct installation, adhering to all the rules and the air heating system is ready for use.
Traditional water heating system
Compared to air, water heating appeared not so long ago, thanks to the invention of hermetic systems from pipes obtained by welding.
The main water heating equipment is the boiler .
Heating boilers are divided into the following types:
- Gas boiler .
In the modern world, it is considered the most demanded autonomous heating equipment in the world, including in Ukraine.
By type of installation, gas boilers have the following options:
- wall installation;
- floor.
Boilers also differ according to the type of hood (chimney):
- turbocharged (with a closed combustion chamber, the exhaust is due to the turbine, forcibly);
- traditional ( open combustion chamber , exhaust is carried out by natural draft).
And of course, by the number of work circuits:
- single-circuit gas boiler (has one heat exchanger that provides only heating);
- double-circuit gas boiler (it happens with one bithermic heat exchanger or separate heat exchangers, which, in turn, provide both space heating and hot water production).
- Electric heating boiler.
An excellent alternative when it is not possible to use gas equipment for autonomous heating of a house or apartment.
A wide range of electric car capacities allows you to choose the best option for your area of \u200b\u200bthe room. Produced with only one circuit.
- Solid fuel boilers (solid fuel boilers).
This type of equipment is mainly used to provide autonomous heating of a private house or large buildings.
It is one of the most economical options for heating a room, but it has some disadvantages compared to gas or electric heating: a separate room (boiler room) is required for such equipment, periodic loading of solid fuel, cleaning the boiler from soot.
Heating with electricity - electric heating
Autonomous electric heating , found in Ukraine, less often than water.
Rather, electric heating can be considered as additional to the main heating - autonomous or centralized.
Heating with electricity is carried out by such types of equipment:
- electric convectors ;
- cable "warm floor".
The electric convector does not require special installation and is a fairly mobile device.
For its operation, you only need to connect 220V and that's it. Heating is very fast. But this type of individual heating is much more expensive than water heating.
