A lot of offers in the construction market does not simplify the purchase of heating equipment. To choose effective radiators, you need to evaluate their characteristics and hear reviews. Radena is widely known for its attractive design and high quality products. The Italian brand produces reliable radiators designed for the features of Russian heating systems.
Technical characteristics of Radena radiators
The brand’s products are manufactured using high pressure casting technology. This method allows you to create strong and durable radiators. After testing each section for leaks, it undergoes anti-corrosion treatment and is coated with several layers of epoxy powder. It turns out a smooth surface, the color does not change with time. Individual cells are assembled into batteries with a different number of sections. For connection, steel nipples and paranitic gaskets are used.
The effective number of sections depends on the area of the heated room. The manufacturer offers from 4 to 12 elements. By special order, batteries are made of 35 sections.
Raden heating radiators are equipped with shutoff valves that regulate the supply of heat. The design helps control heating costs.
Advantages and disadvantages
Raden radiators are primarily attracted by their aesthetic design. Still not knowing about their technical characteristics, buyers stop at products attracted by a smooth surface and thin lines. Sections have vertical ribbing, which enhances convection flows. Among the main advantages of products:
- Cast radiators are reliable. They have one weld.
- The inner and outer surfaces of the products were processed from corrosion and two-stage painting.
- The production uses materials that are safe for human health.
- Aluminum and bimetallic batteries provide high heat dissipation.
- The equipment is resistant to pressure and water hammer.
- Durable coating allows the use of batteries in heating systems with a pH of 6.5-9.
- Painting is carried out in an even layer, it does not fade under sunlight.
At the factory, products are packaged in plastic wrap and cardboard boxes. Goods are transported without damage to stores.
Disadvantages:
- Aluminum models are sensitive to the state of the coolant. They are not recommended for high-rise buildings with central heating.
- The cost of products of the Italian brand is not available to all buyers.
Heating appliances have received many positive reviews. They are recommended by experts and homeowners.
Radena products are radiators that can be installed in residential, commercial, industrial or office premises. They comply with safety standards adopted in Europe and Russian standards. Sectional batteries are designed for installation in one-pipe and two-pipe closed heating systems.
Types of radiators Raden
The models of heating batteries of the company are divided into two types:
- aluminum;
- bimetallic.
Aluminum products are mainly used in residential buildings, and bimetal structures are universal.
Aluminum
The best option for using aluminum radiators is heating a private house and low-rise buildings. Batteries are characterized by maximum heat dissipation, low weight and reliable operation. Design features are:
- thick walls of the vertical channel;
- collector section in the form of an ellipse;
- smooth finning profile.
The batteries are designed for a coolant temperature of 110 ° C, pressure up to 16 atmospheres. They are sold with an even number of sections.
Bimetallic
The products are characterized by increased strength and resistance to high pressure - a working indicator of 25 atmospheres. The outer part of the structure is made of aluminum, and the inside of an alloy of steel. This combination makes the product resistant to corrosion and stress, increases heat transfer, improves appearance. The basic version of the painting is white, but you can order the supply of the desired shade.
The products are designed according to European standards, it is recommended for installation in multi-storey buildings.
Radena bimetal radiators require additional equipment upon purchase. For their operation, a through plug, a plug and a plug with a valve for venting air will be required.
The right choice of radiators
When choosing heating system appliances, several significant factors are taken into account:
- Maximum working pressure - the value is indicated in the product passport.
- Type of heating system - autonomous or centralized. Keep in mind that a centralized system is subject to pressure surges.
- Heat dissipation of one section - the characteristic allows you to calculate the number of sections required to heat the room.
- The coolant acidity indicator - the composition of the coolant affects the battery life. Hard water with a high salt content accelerates corrosion processes.
- Appearance of radiators - devices should organically fit into the interior of the room.
When choosing a product, you should pay attention to the markings on the packaging. There are many fakes of the Italian brand on the market. On the original products there is a barcode of the country of manufacture, a label on the passage of quality control, information about the type of radiator.
Range of radiators Radena
The catalog of the company has a small selection of models, but the products presented are the most popular options for heating batteries. Their mounting height is 350 and 500 mm.
Bimetal models
CS 150
Radiator Raden bimetal CS 150 has the smallest height in the line - 250 mm. The model fits easily under low window sills, saving space. One section produces 78 watts of heat.
CS 350
A welded carbon steel inner frame ensures structural strength. The model is recommended for installation in high-rise buildings and office buildings. The weight of the section is up to 1.5 kg, height 403 mm. Heat transfer characteristic 125 watts.
CS 500
The frame of the structure is made of durable pipes with walls 2-4 mm thick. Radiators are designed for pH up to 8. The battery provides heat transfer of 135 W, its height is 552 mm. When choosing the number of elements, they are guided by the rule - the battery length is 75% of the light opening.
Aluminum models
R 350
For one section with a height of 431 mm, 0.275 liters of coolant will be required. During operation, the heat transfer will be 165 watts. Connection to the system is through an inlet with a diameter of 1 inch. Radiators are mounted on special brackets. The packaging is not removed until the end of the work.
R 500
The heat dissipation of the section is 192 W, its height is 581 mm, the center distance is 500 mm. At a working pressure of 16 atm. Batteries can easily withstand an average pressure of a centralized system of 9 atm.When installing the battery, it is necessary to comply with the standards that ensure the indicated heat transfer. The distance from the wall should be from 25 mm, from the floor - 80 mm.
Raden's products surpass the competition in several respects. These are the only radiators that are painted in sections, with coating inside the structure.
