Global radiators have an interesting shape and light design. These designs fit perfectly into the interior of the living room. Their manufacturer is an Italian company, which represents a wide range of heating equipment. In particular, this manufacturer specializes in batteries from various aluminum alloys.
Short description of the manufacturer
The industrial company Global began its existence in Italy about 50 years ago. This is one of the first concerns that began to produce aluminum batteries. Finished products are characterized by quality and durability.
25 years ago, the manufacturer introduced his equipment in the domestic market. Since then, heating equipment has become a leader in world rankings. Thanks to the right technology, heaters are used at home and are widely used for arranging heating in public places.
Types of Global Radiators
The claimed manufacturer specializes in the production of aluminum alloy batteries, as well as bimetallic and extrusion structures. Each of the options has its own distinctive features.
Aluminum
Global Aluminum is made by casting from a silicon-aluminum alloy. Effectively works in any conditions if the optimum acidity of the heat carrier is observed. It is allowed to use such radiators for country houses and the private sector, equipped with an autonomous heating system. Aluminum structures have a high degree of thermal conductivity, corrosion protection due to a special zirconium coating. Also differ in low mass.
If the inside of the radiator is not treated with the appropriate composition, due to internal corrosion it will very quickly fail, and the tightness of the joints will be impaired.
Bimetallic
The Global Bimetal radiator is a model that is made of an alloy of steel and aluminum. The inner part of the collector is made of steel, while on top they are covered with silumin (an alloy of silicon and aluminum). The advantages of these units include resistance to corrosion, as well as the ability to withstand operating temperatures up to 110 degrees. The disadvantages of bimetallic radiators Global include the high cost.
Bimetallic models are suitable for heating rooms in the system of which fluctuating working pressure is observed. Especially relevant is the operation of this type of equipment in apartment buildings with low quality coolant.
Extrusion
The basis of these radiators is aluminum. Radiators are manufactured using extrusion technology. Inside there is a cast core. The outer part of the structure is made by extrusion through a special machine. A feature is the conspicuous design, the height of the element can reach about 2 meters.
Extrusion models have some disadvantages. They may only be used in systems with a working pressure not exceeding 16 bar. The acidity of the coolant is normally 7-8 units.
Specifications
Since 1994, Global brand designs have become sought after and reliable through the use of new technologies in battery manufacturing.Heaters have the following technical characteristics:
- Maintain high working pressure (about 35 atmospheres).
- Able to work with heat transfer agents with pH values of pH 8.5 - not applicable to all models.
- Suitable for hydraulic tests, as they withstand pressure up to 24 atmospheres.
- Separate sections have a nipple connection, there is a paranitic gasket that eliminates leakage.
- Differ in the increased heat emission. For example, six sections of a radiator are enough to heat a room of 10 sq.m.
- The outer part of the battery is finished with a special white paint, which is resistant to ultraviolet rays.
Global estimated battery life is 25 years. This is achieved through a special internal strengthening treatment.
Global heating radiators are easy to install, have a small weight. Moreover, the number of sections can be changed at any time thanks to a special fitting.
Benefits of Global Heating Batteries
Global batteries have been repeatedly used for arrangement in public and residential premises with a positive result. Design users noted some advantages.
- Attractive design. Thanks to the original design, the heaters can be used in any rooms with an already equipped design. They fit perfectly into every interior.
- Comfort Designs have a convenient way to control and regulate temperature. For this, special shut-off valves are made. With their help, you can completely disconnect the battery from the heating.
- Profitability. When heating starts, the batteries heat up quite quickly, providing effective heat transfer. The air in the room will be completely warmed up in 10-15 minutes.
Some design features will vary depending on the radiator model. Batteries do not lose their properties after dismantling and can be reused.
What to look for when choosing
The main emphasis when choosing radiators should be done on the dimensions of the window and the presence of free space under it. The battery should occupy almost ¾ of the size of the window opening. At the same time, the heater is placed so that under the windowsill there is another 10 cm of free space.
The most relevant and productive models are:
- MIX
- VOX;
- STYLE PLUS.
The presented designs have an aluminum and bimetallic base.
Number of sections for efficient heating
To correctly calculate the required number of sections, you should know some data:
- room area;
- heat transfer indicator (available on the package of radiators);
- constant value (100).
All data is substituted into the formula N (number of sections) = 17 sq.m. (room area): 120 W (heat dissipation) * 100 = 14 sections. These calculations are mandatory, since it will be impossible to create a comfortable temperature without them.
Correct calculations and advice on choosing the Global brand design will help to organize heating in the house without compromising the design environment. When connecting radiators to water heating, the carrier must first be cleaned of heavy metal compounds.
