How to choose and what to look for

Tubular radiators differ in their technical characteristics, sizes, manufacturers and many other parameters.

In order to choose the best option, you need to consider several factors.:

• The area of ​​the heated room;
• Diameter of radiator pipes;
• Place of installation of the heating radiator;
• Ways to connect to the heating system.

Tubular radiators are made from 0.3 m to 3 m high. High vertical radiators can be installed as a partition in a room, and also used as a bar counter, column, bench.

The radiator section can consist of 1 - 6 tubes, which allows you to increase the thermal power by increasing the heating surface area and a larger volume of coolant in the radiator pipes.

In high-rise buildings, sudden pressure surges exceeding 10 atm can occur, which can cause a radiator to leak.
