Planning water heating of a wooden house is better to start at the construction stage.
Water heating calculations
Why are the calculations carried out:
- So that the coolant reaches the farthest rooms, this especially applies to water heating of two-story houses;
- That heating was carried out constantly;
- To reduce fuel costs.
A heat engineer will help you calculate the water heating scheme of a country house. The diameter of the heating main, its duration, boiler capacity and their number will be calculated.
Features of heating trace
A feature of the trace when installing water heating in a wooden house is that it will not work to hide pipes in the walls. They will be visible along the skirting boards. If you lay the track to the flooring, it can be hidden under the floor. This also provides some cost savings.
A two-pipe water heating system for residential buildings is preferable, it is used very widely and really gives good results. In this scheme, the batteries are independent of each other. The device for water heating at home is such that any battery can be disconnected or dismantled, the rest will work in normal mode. This advantage can be used when installing additional valves or repairing water heating for residential buildings.
Water circulation system
The natural circulation system provides for the slope of pipes that pass through all rooms, under the ceiling, against the walls. When installing water heating of a one-story house, such a system can still be used. But when installing water heating of a two-story house, it will be very difficult to calculate the slope of the pipes. Therefore, when planning water heating of a country house, the best thing to do is deal with forced circulation. It is carried out using a circular pump. The main disadvantage is that in case of power outages, the water in the pipes will stop. But this problem is relevant only for owners of solid fuel boilers. If water heating of a country house will be carried out using gas or electricity, feel free to put the pump.
The choice of material for heating water heating
The heating main for water heating of an apartment building is best laid from polypropylene:
- No welding of metal structures is required;
- No additional couplings are needed, as with a metal plastic;
- Using a special soldering iron, sealed joints are made;
- Price is affordable;
- Installation is quick.
You need to choose a pipe specifically for a device for water heating at home.
