Products of the Italian Konner brand are cast iron, aluminum and bimetal radiators. The company relies on good heat dissipation, resistance to hydraulic damage and safety. The chip of the manufacturer is the original design. Also, all batteries are adapted to Russian operating conditions.
Who produces heating systems Conner
The country where the central office of Conner is located is Italy. Here are the design, settlement and construction departments. The assembly of equipment is carried out in China at the brand's own factory.
In the manufacture of individual parts and radiators in the assembly are tested for quality, compliance with the European standard ISO 9001, 14001 and 185, as well as Russian GOST 3111-2005. The manufacturer provides a factory warranty for operation for 15 years.
Konner is engaged in servicing batteries in official centers in the Russian Federation.
Features of sectional heating appliances
Konner sectional batteries are individual cells in a molded, ribbed, or other design. Elements are equipped with one channel vertically, two - horizontally, pulled together with steel nipples. They are made of bimetal, cast iron and aluminum. To ensure the circulation of the coolant have special seals.
The standard set has 10 sections, but the manufacturer mainly produces modifications to the 4, 6, 8 and 12 sections of the battery. Conner sectional constructions have several advantages:
- the possibility of increasing thermal power by adding one or more elements;
- replacing only the damaged section in case of leakage or damage;
- good maintainability;
- division of one radiator into heating devices for several rooms;
- high heat dissipation, providing savings on utilities.
For self-installation of products, you will need brackets, locknuts, a special seal and various connectors.
Overview and characteristics of the main models
In the manufacturer’s assortment there is a line of radiators with a different number of sections and different dimensions. Konner batteries are made from modern and traditional materials in several series.
Cast iron equipment
Available in series:
- Heat - are distinguished by the simplicity of self-assembly, has 4-12 sections. The thermal power of one rib is 150 watts. Each element of the 500/80 model is 60 mm wide, 80 mm deep and weighs 4.9 kg. The assembled cast iron radiator weighs almost 60 kg.
- Modern - beautiful cast-iron radiators for heating systems from Conner, which differ in the center distance of 30 and 50 cm. The basic equipment is presented by models of 4-12 sections with a thermal power of 150 W each.
- Modern Style - spectacular radiators, painted marbled with a depth of 96 mm, which emphasize the interior of a private house or apartment. The heater has 150 W heat transfer for each section.
Products for which cast iron was used are distinguished by quality and attractive appearance.
Bimetal Batteries
You can buy Konner bimetal radiator only in the Bimetal line, choosing the right model for the marking - 100/500, 80/500, 100/200. Bimetal material provides excellent heat transfer performance - only one 500-mm section produces 190 watts of heat, which is much more than the cast iron counterpart.
Products are lightweight - 20 kg, which simplifies the installation and maintenance of systems. You can adjust the heat transfer parameters using a special reinforcing bar. Batteries are suitable for installation in skyscrapers over 9 floors.
The temperature controller is not supplied.
Aluminum radiators
Conner radiators are presented in the LUX line with a center distance of 200/500 mm. The aluminum material of one section is able to withstand a pressure of 24 atm. with heat transfer 190 watts. One section of the Lux series weighs 1.2 kg, but is designed to reduce hydraulic resistance and maintain a high heat flow rate.
Radiator elements are suitable for autonomous heating of a private house or cottage.
Conner radiator retro line
Conner cast-iron batteries in the style of the late 19th and early 20th centuries are distinguished by their beautiful appearance, durability and performance. In the manufacture of equipment, art forging technology is used.
Products are suitable for heat carriers with a maximum temperature of 150 degrees and a working pressure of 12 atm. Power ranges from 120-180 watts. The manufacturer’s assortment includes modifications:
- Legenda - equipped with curved legs for ease of installation and reduce the load on the wall. Given the design, each section weighs 9.5 kg, and the entire product in the assembly is almost 100 kg. The center distance is 600 mm, the height with a support is 707 mm.
- Era - characterized by high (800 mm) and deep (252 mm) sections weighing 17 kg each. Withstands pressure of 12 atm., Has a heat transfer of one element of 180 watts. Due to the heavy weight, the design is also equipped with curly legs-supports.
Retro batteries can be painted in any shade from the manufacturer's RAL palette.
Reasons to Choose Conner Equipment
The main reason for purchasing Conner products is the presence of a center distance of 200 mm for radiators. Buyers note other benefits:
- in Italian cast iron, the heat transfer characteristic is similar to the classic Soviet batteries;
- lower costs for heating due to the lower volume of coolant;
- the manufacturer has all the auxiliary parts - from valves to repair kits;
- the availability of complete information about the thermal power and parameters of each section in the manufacturer's documentation;
- ease of installation - retro-style products are placed on the legs, the rest are fixed to the wall with fasteners.
Knowing the parameters of one section, you can independently calculate the thermal power of the entire system.
A few more advantages of Conner heating equipment:
- low cost with reliability, stylish design and resistance to damage;
- large warranty period;
- ease of self-service;
- compatibility with powerful double-circuit boilers.
Among the minuses:
- the difference in the color of the sections when purchasing products from different lots;
- the difficulty of self-repairing batteries from bimetal;
- small heat transfer of cast-iron appliances.
The main problems when using radiators are associated with improper installation technology.
Installation and Operation Requirements
The manufacturer indicates that only specialists should do the installation. Installation is carried out according to the following rules:
- Tightening the nipple nuts, loose after transport.
- Observing the distance from the windowsill or niche in the wall is 10 cm, from the floor - 10-12 cm, from the wall or panel at the back - 3-5 cm.
- Installation of shut-off ball valves at the outlet and inlet.
- Installation of a manual or automatic air vent and valves for adjustment.
When using radiators, it is necessary to carry out preventive cleaning 1 time in 4-5 years. After removal of slag deposits and dirt, the circulation of the coolant improves and the heat transfer increases. Before work, the supply is shut off, the batteries are removed. The system must be flushed with water or special means.
From the range of Conner heating radiators, you can choose products for your home and apartment. The presence of separate sections allows you to plan communications and take into account the required amount of heat. The brand produces several battery modifications and provides a guarantee on them.
