A pan­el radi­a­tor can not be con­nect­ed to every heat­ing sys­tem, as it is not able to with­stand high pres­sure. The max­i­mum thresh­old is only 10 atmos­pheres (atm) ≈ 10.1325 bar. For exam­ple, for bimetal­lic devices, this fig­ure can reach up to 35 atm. Per­haps this is the biggest draw­back of pan­el radi­a­tors.

As for the advan­tages, this includes a small amount of water used, which allows for rapid heat exchange between the ener­gy car­ri­er and the air in the room. The heat trans­fer coef­fi­cient is much high­er than most ana­logues. Also, the advan­tages should be added to the opti­mal cost and low weight. The lat­ter fac­tor great­ly facil­i­tates the instal­la­tion of the radi­a­tor. To date, there are sev­er­al vari­eties of such bat­ter­ies.

1. Kermi FKO 10 500 1200

The first posi­tion in our rat­ing was tak­en by a steel pan­el radi­a­tor from the man­u­fac­tur­er Ker­mi. This equip­ment has a high degree of reli­a­bil­i­ty. It is designed to oper­ate in a vari­ety of cli­mat­ic con­di­tions, includ­ing extreme ones. This mod­el is equipped with con­vec­tive fins (heat­ing ele­ments are arranged in three rows), which con­tributes to more inten­sive air exchange and accel­er­ates the heat­ing of the room. Each heat­ing pan­el is made of two sheets of cold-rolled steel, which is high­ly durable.

6. Royal Thermo C22 500

Equip­ment from the man­u­fac­tur­er Roy­al Ther­mo is dis­tin­guished by a high lev­el of heat trans­fer, as well as sim­plic­i­ty and reli­a­bil­i­ty. The C22 500 mod­el is equipped with a spe­cial aero­dy­nam­ic grille that pro­vides the max­i­mum pos­si­ble air con­vec­tion. As for the design, the buy­er is giv­en a choice of three col­ors (white, gray and black). The high qual­i­ty of the radi­a­tor is also con­firmed by manda­to­ry cer­ti­fi­ca­tion with the par­tic­i­pa­tion of the Research Insti­tute of San­i­tary Engi­neer­ing. The man­u­fac­tur­er pro­vides a 10-year war­ran­ty.

How to choose a panel heating radiator

Before buy­ing such a pan­el radi­a­tor, you need to take into account many nuances, since this equip­ment has its own specifics. To under­stand all the nuances, Kom­so­mol­skaya Prav­da turned to the founder of the Teplostroy-NN Group of Com­pa­nies, Vadim Saut­enkov.

Alu­minum radi­a­tors

These radi­a­tors are a great alter­na­tive to old cast iron radi­a­tors.

Device type

As we wrote ear­li­er, today in most cas­es three types of pan­el radi­a­tors are used: 11, 22 and 33. In the first case, this is a device that con­sists of one pan­el, with­out cas­ings and an upper grille. In the sec­ond — a pan­el radi­a­tor, which con­sists of two pan­els con­nect­ed to each oth­er by pipes, and closed by a cas­ing. In the third — with three pan­els.

The choice between one or anoth­er type of device should be based on the cal­cu­la­tion of the area of ​​the room. Yes, on one square meter need about 100w pow­er. You should also take into account the pres­ence of win­dows in the room (+100 W for each) and the pres­ence of an exter­nal door (+200 W). In addi­tion, the dimen­sions of the device must be equal to at least 80% of the width of the win­dow open­ing.

Marking

When choos­ing a radi­a­tor, be sure to pay atten­tion to the mark­ings. The first dig­it after the name indi­cates the height, the sec­ond — the width of the device, and the third — the num­ber of sec­tions.

Installation method

Before buy­ing, be sure to pay atten­tion to which instal­la­tion method is pro­vid­ed by the man­u­fac­tur­er. So, most mod­els are mount­ed on the wall, but there are excep­tions when the radi­a­tor is installed on the floor on spe­cial legs. Some man­u­fac­tur­ers pro­vide both options.

Eco­nom­ic heaters

It is nec­es­sary to take into account not only the pow­er, but the effi­cien­cy of the device

Limit operating temperature

An impor­tant fac­tor is the lim­it­ing tem­per­a­ture of the heater. In some radi­a­tors, it is 80–90 degrees Cel­sius. For regions with extreme tem­per­a­ture dif­fer­ences, this will not be enough. You should pay atten­tion to those mod­els that main­tain tem­per­a­tures up to 100–110 degrees.

Guarantee period

The aver­age war­ran­ty peri­od for such devices is 7–10 years. This fig­ure is con­sid­ered the most opti­mal.
