Specialists and consumers agreed that the devices of this manufacturer are of high quality and reliability, as well as innovative design and compact size. Brand radiators have their own characteristics, their installation also differs from the installation of standard heating devices. You should find out about this in advance at the stage of choosing a suitable option.
About the manufacturer Royal Thermo
The famous Italian company Royal Climatic is part of the Royal Climatic Industrial Design group. Its employees managed to develop and patent a special technology for the production of Royal aluminum heating radiators in 1966 together with another Italian concern Faral. Now devices of this brand are produced not only in Italy, but also in Russia. The Russian plant is located in the city of Kirzhach, where they make models of the Revolution and Dream Liner series. The remaining models of radiators are made in the city of Orgiano.
The efforts of specialists from Russia and Italy were justified, making the Royal Climatic brand one of the most popular at present. The technology of creating the Royal brand battery has been improving for half a century, which allowed us to improve the parameters of devices every year. Today, these radiators can be called ideal in terms of design and in terms of efficiency. In factories, companies continue to conduct research and constantly improve designs and materials; over the past ten years, Royal Climatic technologists have received three patents for their inventions.
Royal radiators are light weight and coolant with low capacity, they do not cause problems during installation, heat up quickly and have an attractive design.
Radiator Benefits
Royal Thermo radiators are made of an aluminum alloy of silumin, which contains magnesium and manganese. Due to these additives, finished products become durable, uniform and at the same time plastic. The company's technologists also use titanium, adding it to the basic composition, this substance significantly increases the strength and reliability of the finished batteries. The composition of the products is completely homogeneous, so radiators do not change their characteristics depending on temperature differences and are characterized by increased heat transfer.
Due to the good plasticity of the source material, the brand’s designers are able to fully realize their projects, creating stylish and modern batteries that fit well into any interior. The proprietary improved composition is used for the manufacture of aluminum radiators and battery shirts from bimetal. It's also worth keeping in mind that all Royal brand aluminum batteries are cast. The list of the main advantages of brand products includes:
- small size and weight, due to which installation is significantly simplified;
- prices affordable to every buyer;
- ease of installation, which makes it possible to put a radiator without resorting to specialists;
- effective design and elegant appearance;
- the presence in the set of all necessary components;
- fast heating and cutting off cold air;
- corrosion protection.
Among the disadvantages of Royal radiators, the presence of reactive aluminum in the composition is noted, therefore, for the installation, you need to choose a suitable place to avoid unnecessary thermal reactions.
Varieties of Royal batteries
The manufacturer offers a fairly large assortment of batteries, including those with a bottom connection. Among them, the most popular models are distinguished, which have proven themselves in the process of operation.This list includes the Revolution 350 radiator, equipped with vertical collectors to prevent clogging from poor quality coolant. It is supplemented by fins of intermittent type, due to which its circulation and heat transfer rate are noticeably higher compared to peers. The heat transfer of the model is 189 watts per section.
Another popular model Biliner 500 belongs to the category of bimetallic, supplemented by a collector made of steel, eliminating the contact of aluminum with the coolant. Beeline batteries can withstand the maximum pressure from the heat carrier, have a high level of convection, due to which they are able to warm the entire room to the maximum. Another version of PianoForte is in demand due to the presence of two modifications: in the first version, the front side has drowning in the lower side, in the second - in the upper one. Piano Fort can be ordered in any color scheme and combine several modifications.
The list of popular varieties includes the Bimetall model, which has a completely bimetallic base. It is ideal for district heating networks, has a high heat transfer due to additional fins. RoyalThermo's other DreamLiner heatsink is made only of aluminum and differs from other varieties by its high heating rate combined with good economy. In addition to improved features, the device has an elegant appearance.
Bimetallic
Royal bimetal radiators are interconnected steel panels containing 6 or 8 sections. They are made by casting in the presence of a certain pressure and are quite compact in size. Such batteries last longer, since they are based on a steel core that takes on the function of reinforcing the structure. Each bimetal model, for example, Noir, Silver, Satin or Sable, is different from the others, but in general they all have common operating requirements. Their list includes an operating pressure of up to 30 Bar and a test pressure of up to 45 Bar, a temperature of the heat carrier up to 120 degrees, an oxygen content of not higher than 20 and suspensions of not more than 5 μg / l.
Aluminum
Aluminum batteries are manufactured using a new technology, during which the body and plug are connected without welding. So that the coolant does not corrode the alloy, and also to avoid corrosion, all sections of the brand radiators are treated with fluorine and zirconium in two stages. This treatment allows you to form a protective film on the sections inside and outside, after which the radiators are also coated in two stages, first all surfaces are painted, then powder dye is sprayed onto the outer parts.
All RoyalThermo batteries painted in this way are highly resistant to damage, and the coating will not be destroyed even in the event of a scratch, chip or other impact.
To install an aluminum radiator, the operating pressure in the heating system must not exceed 24 Bar, and the temperature of the heat carrier is 110 degrees. The content of oxygen and suspensions should be no more than 10-20 and 5 μg / l, respectively, hardness not higher than 7 mg * equiv / l.
Specifications
The case of most models is made of pure aluminum or a bimetal base using a casting technique. Externally, the brand radiator consists of two tubes with a diameter of 3-4 cm, located horizontally, and six tubes with a diameter of 2-3 cm, standing vertically. These elements are the basis on which plates with various designs are welded, which are responsible for the effective appearance of the batteries and increase heat output.
All radiators are made using the Indigo proprietary design, which is placed at the top of the appliances.It is necessary for the formation of a stream of hot air directed back and designed to cut off the cold from the window openings. Installing any radiator does not cause problems, since additional parts are included with the main unit. Their list includes special fasteners, they are needed to install the units themselves, as well as anchor, angle and floor brackets. Using these parts, you can easily adjust the location of the device along or across the surface of the coating on which it is placed.
Some models also include wall brackets, which greatly simplify installation. The floor type bracket is only needed if the radiator cannot be mounted on the wall. In such a situation, the height is adjusted using a retractable support.
Features of installation and operation
When choosing a battery from Thermo, it is better to contact specialists who will help you calculate the size, area and height of the room where the radiators will be installed as accurately as possible. Ideally, this work is entrusted to professional designers and installers, since installation should be carried out by workers with the appropriate qualifications and certificates of approval. Also, during installation, all SNiP norms relevant to the date of installation must be observed. If we are talking about a country house, it is advisable to develop a complete project, during which the heat loss of the room in the winter is calculated and the radiator model is selected in accordance with them.
For a full installation, each radiator comes with all the necessary details that allow you to connect the battery to the system immediately after purchase. The list of parts includes brackets for wall mounting, plugs, air vents and dowels. A special installation instruction developed by the manufacturer describes the entire sequence of actions. According to these rules, it is necessary to observe the specified distances for the full heat transfer of the radiator. Before installation, dismantle the old battery, if any, and disconnect the riser.
It is important to determine the connection scheme and choose the option that suits the features of a particular room. If we are talking about a single-pipe heating system, a bypass must be installed in front of the radiator. The manufacturer recommends using only original parts so that the device is mounted evenly and without gaps. It is connected to the pipelines using special adapters, while the deviation of the collector axis should be no more than 2 degrees in order to avoid possible emergency situations.
To maintain the ability to dismantle the radiator, stop valves are installed on both pipelines. It is imperative to remove air from the battery into the upper collector, for this purpose an air vent is installed, which is vented with a key several times a year. When all installation work is completed, specialists will need to conduct hydraulic testing of the device, that is, create a pressure in it that exceeds the working pressure by 1.5 times. In the absence of problems, a special act is drawn up confirming the commissioning of the unit.
For proper operation of the device, you must follow the rules so that it does not fail. The unit must not be completely disconnected from the heating system unless the need for repair and maintenance arises. Devices are not installed in the hot water supply network, they do not use coolants that do not comply with legislative requirements and standards. Also, according to safety rules, pipes and radiators are not used as parts of electrical circuits.
