What kind of radiators are there? How to install it?

With the continuous development of the radiator market, users should make comparisons when choosing radiators and radiator installation companies so as to avoid encountering bad businesses and leading to losses. So what kind of material are there in the radiator? What are the characteristics? Lion Heater introduces you.
Steel plate radiator: appearance and corrosion resistance is inferior to steel column radiator, the price is slightly higher than steel-aluminum composite radiator. Mainly in the South market, its market share has an overwhelming advantage.
Steel finned radiators: The mainstream retail market is not very well recognized. Its price is not much better than steel plug welding radiators. However, the corrosion resistance is relatively good, and it occupies a not small market share in the low-end engineering market. The later developed steel-aluminum composite radiators are more excellent.
Ordinary cast iron radiator: Although it is an outdated product, but because of its low cost and good corrosion resistance, especially the inertia of market demand can not be underestimated, so in the next few years, still occupy a considerable amount in the low-end retail market and engineering market Share.
Cast aluminum radiators: Corrosion resistance is not so high. They are used more widely in the south and are more suitable for heating systems that use domestic heating stoves as the main source of heat. Because the water quality is very good and controllable, the weaknesses of cast aluminum radiators can be ignored.
Copper-aluminum composite radiators: They are excellent in appearance, corrosion resistance and heat dissipation. They are mainly used in the northern market and high-end market, poor water quality areas, and gas-fired boilers. Because the copper-aluminum composite radiator has fewer after-sales problems, many terminal retailers prefer to recommend this product. In addition, some of the more far-sighted vendors in the South are also increasing their efforts to promote copper-aluminum composite radiators.
Steel column radiator: The advantages are prominent aesthetics, good cost performance. This kind of radiators has overwhelmingly dominated the list of new household radiator sales and market influence. However, its anti-corrosion performance and heat dissipation performance have yet to be improved.
Steel plug welding radiators: Low overall performance, insufficient durability and pressure resistance. However, in the low-end retail market, its price advantage is very obvious. In addition, the appearance and performance of the radiator are slightly better than ordinary cast iron radiators, mainly in the low-end retail market, especially in the rural markets and townships use the heating system without pressure cooker as heat source. Its market share is still expanding as it squeezes into the cast iron radiator market.
Process cast iron radiators: The overall performance is relatively low, the appearance does not meet the Chinese aesthetic standards, so there is no very strong customer base in China. But it is in line with the aesthetics of Western consumers and belongs to imported products.
The installation of radiators is divided into two types: surface mounted and concealed. The installation steps of surface mounted radiators mainly include laying pipelines, installing radiators, installing wall-hung boilers, stress testing and customer acceptance. Trouble, you need to slot and install the set of water separators, for the housing has been renovated, the general choice of surface mounted radiator, the installation is convenient and quick and will not damage the interior decoration effect.
The first step is to lay the pipeline. After communicating with the customer in advance about the installation location of the radiator, it is necessary to design the piping. The piping is usually in the hidden place such as the ceiling or baseboard, and the laying of the clear pipe. Try not to affect the interior decoration or take up too much space.
The second step is to install the radiator. During the process of installing the radiator, the radiator should be placed steadily, and the level should be used for measurement to see if the installation is stable. Then connect the valve connector and the inlet and outlet valve, and check it. After that, use pipe wrenches for reinforcement.
The third step is to install the wall-hung boiler. The installation of the wall-hung boiler needs to be separated from the open-wire and electrical equipment, and flammable and explosive materials cannot be placed around it. Specifically, the distance between the boiler and the gas meter and the gas stove should be More than 300mm.
The last is the stress test and customer acceptance. The construction personnel did not run, run, leak or drip during the punching test of the pipeline. After the inspection and confirmation by the customer, they can be accepted.
