Heating radiators 300 mm: the main types and features of the

Today on sale you can find heating radiators with a height of 300 mm. What caused the use of such sizes and where such heating devices can be used?

The range of heating radiators from domestic and foreign brands is large and constantly expanding. Devices on sale differ in the type of materials used in the production, aesthetic design, type of heat carrier used, frame sizes and configuration.

Radiators 300 mm high, among the variety of heaters, are almost the most compact.

Until recently, batteries with a small center distance I was in demand, but today, if you wish, you can buy compact models made of steel, cast iron and aluminum. Moreover, the model lines of devices with compact dimensions include both sectional and panel modifications.

Let us consider in more detail what are the performance characteristics of these devices.

Application features

Instructions for the use of compact heating devices is not much different from the use of full-size counterparts.

But, there are some differences, and among them we note:

• the possibility of mounting their own hands in rooms with large glazing and a small distance from the floor to the window sill;
• possibility of mounting along the entire wall, using a larger number of sections than is customary during the operation of full-sized devices;
• the possibility of decorating in accordance with the interior decoration.

Important: Compact batteries are an excellent solution for installation in children's rooms. After all, if the installation is done properly, children will be able to use the heater as a warm bench.

Taking into account the low heat transfer, such devices can be installed not under the windows, but along a cold wall in order to prevent the appearance of mold. Again, compact heaters are an optimal solution for heating small bathrooms, where there is not enough heat, but using full-sized radiators because of their size is impractical.

Main varieties

1. A modern cast iron radiator of 300 mm is a compact device with a center distance of 300 mm with an average length of one section of 90-100 mm.

Sections are made of cast iron brand SCh-10. For the manufacture of nipples used steel grade 08 PS or cast iron brand KCH30-6-F.

As an example, consider the cast iron radiator ms 140 300.

Among the technical characteristics of the product, we note the following:

• The possibility of operation in central and autonomous systems in buildings for housing, public and industrial purposes.
• Maximum coolant temperature not more than + 130 ° С
• Heat flow up to 0.120 kW at an operating pressure not higher than 0.9 MPa.
• The design of the device is two-channel sectional.
• The weight of one section with a length of 93 mm is not more than 5.7 kg with nipples and stoppers already installed.
• The volume of one section is 1.11 l.
• Type of radiator - sectional two-channel.

1. Modern aluminum radiators of 300 mm are sectional structures with the following advantages:

• small weight, in comparison with the mass of pig-iron analogs;
• high heat emission and, as a result, the ability to quickly heat the room;
• small internal volume and, as a result, low weight in the exploited state and low load on the walls;
• excellent appearance that will fit into most modern interiors;
• reasonable price in comparison with the cost of modern cast iron batteries.

Important: Such heating devices are demanding on the quality of the coolant. If the coolant has air and suspended solids, which is typical of central heating systems, the internal volume of the sections will be more intensively oxidized and gradually collapse.

When using aluminum radiators in autonomous systems, the prospect of corrosion is not critical.

1. The 300 mm bimetallic radiator is an alternative to all-aluminum counterparts. This is a two-component design in which the outer casing is made of aluminum, and the inner shell of the sections is molded from steel. As a result, the heater gained greater resistance to corrosive processes without sacrificing heat transfer parameters.

Externally compact bimetallic batteries do not differ from aluminum structures, which makes them an excellent solution for use in modern interiors.

Among the main characteristics of bimetallic batteries, we note the following:

• Heat transfer 170-190 watts;
• Nominal pressure 16-35 atmospheres (depending on the manufacturer and model);
• The maximum working temperature of the heat carrier is +90? С;
• Operational resource not less than 15-20 years.

1. Steel panel radiators with an inter-axial distance of 300-400 mm is a popular solution, which is in demand when arranging rooms with a double-glazed window in the entire wall. Such devices you can see in the windows of shops, as well as in the design of modern apartments and country houses with a large glass area.

Panel batteries are mainly used in the assembly of autonomous systems, but if necessary they can be used in central heating systems. The only thing that should be considered when choosing such devices is that they are designed for low operating pressure, in comparison with cast-iron and metal counterparts.

1. Steel tubular batteries with a small center distance is a relatively new product that has recently appeared on the domestic market.. The advantage of tubular structures is their attractive appearance and safety of use due to the absence of sharp edges.

The disadvantages include low heat transfer compared with more traditional counterparts. In addition, the price of tubular batteries is much higher than the cost of sectional designs.
