A prejudice towards Chinese-made products has long passed. Currently, companies in the Middle Kingdom produce products whose quality can compete with European counterparts. The same applies to heat supply components. Consider the best Chinese elements of heating systems: batteries, radiators, pumps, boilers.
Chinese heating boilers
To create a truly effective and reliable heating system, you need to choose the appropriate boiler. There are a number of requirements for this equipment. Modern Chinese gas heating boilers meet them in full. But it all depends on the particular brand and model.
In order to achieve popularity with the Russian buyer, some Chinese manufacturers decided to significantly improve the quality of their products. This primarily applies to Chinese gas heating boilers. They currently meet the following conditions:
- Characteristics must comply with the requirements of the State Technical Supervision of the Russian Federation. To do this, the manufacturer or his dealer must undergo mandatory product certification;
- Performance indicators do not differ from actual ones;
- The ability to repair or replace equipment under warranty.
Several trading companies are represented on the market whose Chinese gas heating boilers meet these requirements.
Gazlux
The products of this brand appeared on the market relatively recently - in 2006. Initially, it was focused on the economy class segment, but with improved quality characteristics. For this, a central office was organized with an extensive network of branches.
You can choose the optimal Chinese heating boiler according to certain criteria. All Gazlux products are conditionally divided into 3 classes:
- They are distinguished by mechanical control of a modular burner, as well as a maximum power threshold - up to 18.4 kW. DHW productivity is up to 11 l / min;
- Unlike the economy class, these Chinese heating boilers have a maximum power of 24 kW and a domestic hot water supply of 13.5 l / min. Management is carried out using a digital keypad;
- Advanced options for changing the parameters of the Chinese gas boiler in the heating system, daily programming functions and pressure control in the pipes. The maximum power is 30 kW, domestic hot water - 17.2 l / min.
The first two types of Chinese heating boilers (Economy and Standart) are made with a closed and open combustion chamber. For premium equipment, only a closed camera is provided.
| Model | power, kWt | Cost, rub. |
| GAZECO-18-C1 | 18 | 25550 |
| GAZECO - 24-T2 | 24 | 30340 |
| Premium B-30-T1-F | 30 | 32450 |
In addition to this manufacturer, Chinese heating boilers Nobel and Roc can be noted. But they can not be considered only Chinese, as some production facilities are located in Russia.
During operation, special attention must be paid to the sensors for domestic hot water. They most often fail.
Chinese heating radiators
Equally popular are Chinese bimetal heating radiators and their steel and cast iron counterparts. This is primarily due to affordable cost. However, when choosing, you should pay attention to quality, and then consider the price.
Any Chinese aluminum heating radiators, regardless of the brand selected, must have certain performance characteristics. These include:
- Wall thickness. For aluminum and bimetallic models, it should be at least 1.3 mm;
- Build quality. The best choice is cast types of heating appliances.Unlike welded structures, they have a longer period of non-repair service;
- Heat dissipation and overall dimensions. Manufacturers indicate the value of the first parameter for a specific temperature regime of 80/55. However, when it is reduced, heat transfer will decrease proportionally. This must be considered when choosing.
Which Chinese-made heating radiators can be safely installed? Among the numerous brands, Maxterm and STI can be distinguished. But the most popular is Epico's products.
Each Chinese aluminum heating radiator must have a quality certificate, a copy of which can be requested from the seller.
Epico
Initially, this Chinese brand specialized in the production of sanitary ware. However, over time, new areas were mastered - water heaters, aluminum and bimetallic Chinese batteries for heating. Despite the relatively small range of heating elements, Epico pays great attention to the quality of its products. Chinese bimetallic radiators for heating systems are in high demand. Their maximum working pressure is 24 atm., Which indicates high quality. Depending on the required specific power of each section, you can choose the following models:
- Twin-500. The center distance is 500 mm. The specific heat transfer of one section is 195 W;
- Twin-350. Convenient for installation in small rooms, as their interaxal distance is 350 mm with a nominal heat transfer section of 135 watts.
In addition, the production of Chinese-made aluminum heating radiators was launched. They are designed for lower maximum pressure (up to 15 atm.). Therefore, it is recommended that they be installed in autonomous networks where automatic regulation takes place. To select, you need to know the following parameters:
- Center distance - 300 or 500 mm;
- Dimensions. Depth - 80 or 96 mm. Section width - 80 mm;
- The heat transfer of one section is 150, 176, 182, 185 or 189 watts.
It is noteworthy that the company has an official representative office in Russia, where you can find the addresses of dealers selling Chinese heating batteries.
| Model | Power, W | Cost, rub. |
| Best 300B, aluminum | 150 | 430 |
| Best 500B, aluminum | 185 | 440 |
| Twin 350, bimetal | 135 | 465 |
| Twin 500 Bimetal | 195 | 510 |
In addition to the battery, it is important to choose its components correctly - air vent, temperature controller, etc. Epico Chinese bimetal heating radiators are manufactured according to international standards, so the selection of accessories for them will not cause difficulties.
During pressure testing of a Chinese aluminum radiator installed in heating, it is necessary that the pressure in the system does not exceed the maximum, but is 1.25 times higher than the nominal one.
Konner
Finding completely Chinese cast-iron radiators in the market is very problematic. This is due to the specifics of production and relatively small demand. However, there is one organization whose headquarters are in Europe, and all production facilities are concentrated in China - Konner.
For the consumer, two characteristics of the heater are important - appearance and heat dissipation. Based on these requirements, the company has developed a range of cast-iron radiators made in China:
- Heat and Modern. They have a modern shape similar to aluminum counterparts. The main difference is the large cross section of the internal channels, due to which it was possible to achieve good heat transfer. For models with a diagonal of 300 mm, it is 120 W, and for 500 mm - 150 W;
- Era and Legenda. Floor-mounted design radiators that perfectly match the classic exterior style of the room. With a center distance of 600 mm, their maximum heat transfer is 180 watts.
However, it should be noted that Chinese-made cast-iron design radiators are not collapsible, i.e. changing the number of sections they have at home is impossible.Since they are not very popular, it is extremely difficult to find these models in the Russian market.
For a central heating system, it is best to install cast-iron radiators, as they are the least susceptible to breakdowns due to differential pressure.
Chinese heating pumps
Is it possible to install Chinese pumps for heating? The prevailing bias towards this group of goods is based on unsatisfactory quality. However, at present, you can find truly reliable Chinese circulation pumps for heating systems.
Most often, Sprut brand products are chosen to complete the heating system with inexpensive, but reliable equipment. For these Chinese pumps, Chinese heating pumps are characterized by a large selection of models and acceptable quality. The only thing that consumers note is the characteristic noise during operation. Therefore, they are not recommended for installation in residential premises or premises with people.
| Model | Productivity, l / min | price, rub. |
| GPD25 / 6S | 50 | 1390 |
| LRS 25 / 4-180 | 55 | 1540 |
| LRS 25 / 6-180 | 56 | 1635 |
When choosing Chinese circulation pumps for heating systems, you need to pay attention to the diameter of the connecting pipe, as well as the rated power. In addition, it should be remembered that the configuration does not include a wire for connecting to the mains.
How to identify high-quality Chinese goods for the heating system? First of all, you need to require quality certificates from the seller. You also need to pay attention to the presence of a dealer network in Russia and technical service centers.
