I live in a ten-story building on the 8th floor. It is believed that we have a one-pipe heating system with a bottom flow. My pipe comes from the neighbor from below, passes under the window in the form of a convector and goes up to the neighbor, and from the neighbor on the upper floor the pipe also comes from below, passes under the window and goes to the wall of the room where the battery is installed and goes back down and returns again already on top of me and leaves me to my lower neighbor. Question: Can I install a battery with a bottom connection instead of a convector under my window in my apartment (through binoculars), while the incoming tube in the battery will enter the pipe coming from the neighbor from below, and the outgoing pipe from the battery will go into the pipe going back from the neighbor from above. That is, to make a two-pipe system separately in your apartment.
We would not recommend making the system this way. There may be several problems:
- First of all, it is necessary to coordinate such a change in the heating system;
- the probability is too high that the neighbors from above will remain without pressure in the system, and when they get to you, the consequences of an unauthorized change cannot be avoided.
What exactly does not suit you at the moment? Is it cold in the apartment? How old is the room?
It is quite possible to simply replace the radiators with new ones or to clean the old ones. In most cases this will help.
