Features of the system warm skirting

Innovative heating systems warm skirting boards are highly efficient and efficient, therefore they can be called with confidence a heating system of the 21st century. This system of skirting heating came to us from Europe, where more than two decades have been successfully used. A warm skirting board is called differently: a skirting heater, a heated skirting board, a convector of the skirting type.

The design of the system

A warm skirting board is a closed aluminum bar with a heating element with a height of a floor of 14 centimeters and 3 centimeters wide. Thermal elbus differs among themselves in size: the size of the cross section is 10 - 24 centimeters, color and shape. Structurally, such a system consists of heating heat exchangers, which are two copper pipes that have a brass nut, with lamella on them and closed with a collapsed aluminum box.

The heaters are performed on the basis of heating elements - tubular electric heating elements from heat -resistant material. The inner diameter of copper pipes is 11 millimeters, and the external is 13 millimeters. Since warm skirting boards are made of copper, corrosion is completely absent in this heating device. Hearing modules are interconnected by compressive nuts or a copper soldering method. The heat exchangers in the corners are connected by special rotary pipes made of copper or polyethylene.

The housing panels are made of extruded aluminum profile, which provides uniform recoil of heat along the entire length of the heater. According to the method of heating the module, the skirting system is water and electric. The coolant (electricity or water) is supplied to the warm skirting board from the camshaft using underwater pipes. The camshaft is usually equipped with expenses, cutting off and drain cranes, automatic air vents.

Power supply comes from an alternating current of 220V. The heaters are connected through the thermostat - the temperature control device, through which the temperature in the room is regulated. Remote control sensors are placed at a person’s height to recreate the most comfortable conditions for people in the room.

In heating systems with warm skirting boards, temperature control devices of different complexity can be used: simple switching equipment and thermostats; medium complexity switching equipment, electronic multi -point thermostats, temperature indicators; High complexity microprocessor control system up to the smart house.

Principle of operation

The principle of operation of the system of a warm skirting board is based on the effect when warm air seems to stick to the walls of the room. To obtain thermal energy, the baseboard is connected to a centralized or autonomous heating system, and the system can already serve as an additional or main source of heating. The warm skirting system is able to easily integrate with any boiler equipment and work from any source of energy: solar energy, gas, oil products or geothermal energy.

This system is mounted around the perimeter of the room, replacing the installation of ordinary floor skirting boards. The skirting board is located directly on the wall of the housing. The thermal energy of heating skirting boards rises upwards with a slow stream, forming a peculiar heat screen along the walls and windows, which prevents the outflow of heat.

Heated air warms the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe walls. Then the walls, in turn, give it heat to the entire room: furniture, ceiling, ceiling surface. Due to the lack of excessive convection, heat is distributed evenly throughout the entire volume of space - from floor to ceiling. Moreover, thanks to the slow raising of heated air up, dust does not rise in the room.

The advantages of a warm skirting board

Installation of the system warm skirting system allows the house to warm up in the volume that is required for residents. The room heats up to about 20-24 degrees. Thermal energy is evenly distributed throughout the room. The air temperature is the same at the level of the floor and ceiling, the air with a warm skirting board is not collected under the ceiling in the heat pillow, so the heat is not lost when ventilated.

The temperature of the warmest baseboard can be 40,70 degrees, due to which it is possible to save on housing heating up to 40%. The full circuit of a water warm skirting board uses less fluid than the battery, 2 times, and it takes 2 times less energy to heating it. Electric skirting systems are also economical: for example, an electric heater, the power of one section of which is 190 watts, consumes more energy by 30-40%than a warm skirting board.

Heat loss in warm skirting boards is only 5 degrees, but in ordinary radiators it reaches 20 degrees. Low heat loss is achieved due to an increase in the speed of the carrier of heat in the circuit of the system, while a small part of the heat is consumed to create a heat screen, and the main part (approximately 80%) goes to radiation for warming up the room.

An additional advantage is due to circulation in the system of a small amount of water - 0.34 liters per 1 meter, which allows you to reduce inertia, quickly respond to any temperature changes, or rather regulate it, including by using electronic thermostats with servo drives.

Righty warmth from skirting boards provides optimal humidity in the room, prevents condensate formation, does not go out through the windows, does not dry the air into housing and does not destroy indoor plants. It turns out that the price of a water warm skirting board is quite justified!

In the system, a warm skirting board does not have active convection (in other words, no dust in the air is formed), which, together with evenly distributed heat, creates a healthy microclimate in the room. There will be no mold in such housing is guaranteed to be absent, because the room warms up evenly, including angles. The heating device of the skirting type of wall in the room eliminates excess moisture, protruding the conductor of heat outward, and is not the medial of mold.

Also, the warm skirting system will be an ideal solution for rooms for which the usual heating is not effective - for rooms with large windows or continuous glazing, for apartments with high ceilings or housing, where the second light is used. Even more advantages in this system are manifested in rooms with a large area of \u200b\u200bsports halls, shops, hospitals, schools, museums, winter gardens, various cultural centers.

A similar type of heating is absolutely safe, since, unlike batteries, it does not spoil the wooden surface. Therefore, next to a warm skirting board, you can put any furniture, for example, cabinets, armchairs and a sofa, even antiques and musical instruments, different equipment, including a computer and a LCD TV, without fear. They will not suffer, located nearby, and curtains to the floor.

Warm plinths surpasses not only traditional radiators and convectors, but also a warm floor system. Unlike underfloor heating and IR-tin, electric warm skirting boards are quickly mounted without the need for serious construction work. The skirting system of home heating allows you to use its advantages in various design and architectural projects, creating wide opportunities for creativity. The system is almost invisible, and the color of the external element can be any, including decoration under the breeds of wood.

In addition to these advantages, the warm skirting system is also inherent in such advantages as light dismantling and reverse installation without interior damage, rapid heating of the room, automatic control of the system, including the ability to set an individual temperature level, fire safety, the lack of probability of a coolant leakage and Threats of freezing when turning off.

Installation of a warm skirting board with your own hands

The elements of the system warm skirting boards can be installed on any surface: drywall, wood, brick or masonry. The surface of the devices is protected by a coating that is persistent to mechanical influences and is made using powder-polymer technology. It is customary to install a warm skirting board around the perimeter of the room instead of the usual one. Moreover, it is not necessary to do this along the entire length.

Preparatory work

However, before the installation of a warm skirting board, it is necessary to decide which type of system is the most acceptable for your case of the skirting board, what operates on liquids (antifreeze or hot water), and an electric system (heating element), which works from a socket. In the first case, you should think in advance how the system will be connected: to an individual boiler or central heating system. If this is an electric skirting board, then it is necessary to take into account the safe eyeliner to the outlet.

Calculation of the number of skirting boards

To determine the number of skirting boards, you need to know the total power of the warm skirting system. For each individual room, this indicator is determined due to the exact calculations of heat loss, taking into account thermal insulation of the walls, glazing of windows, the type of room, temperature outside.

On average, for our country, to compensate for heat loss in the living room in the winter, you need to spend 100 watts of heat in order to heat an area of \u200b\u200bone square meter. The smaller the heat loss of the building, the less a heating system of lower power is required, and accordingly the price of a warm skirting board will be smaller.

Subject to the creation of good thermal insulation for heating 10 square meters of the room at a height of 2.5 meters, 0.5 kW of electric power is required, but with a convective system it is necessary to spend 1 kW on heating this area. Also, when calculating the number of skirting boards, the ratio of the length of the walls and skirting boards and the temperature gap, which is formed between skirting boards, should be taken into account.

Selection of a place for panels

The installation of a warm skirting board is carried out according to the installation plan. The skirting board is installed in one row at the level of one centimeter from the floor and at a distance of 15 millimeters from the wall on two stops. The gap is required to create convection during the operation of the system so that there is no overheating.

First, it is necessary to mark the wall along the level of the chopping thread (a skirting board will be installed along this line) at a height of at least 1 centimeters from the floor. Apply the back panel of the module to the wall and mark the holes for drilling. Insert plastic dowels into them after drilling and fix the skirting board module. Mount all subsequent modules in the same way, while you need to strictly adhere to the level.

After installing all the skirting boards, you need to install the supply jumpers and be sure to do ground. It is allowed to connect no more than 17 modules of the system of a warm skirting board, which have a capacity of 200 W on one train, because the cable is laid inside the heating element, which has a section of 2.5 square millimeters. All modules are connected sequentially.

After installing a warm skirting board and turning the modules, you need to close them with lids and put side and suture plugs, with insufficient fixation of the lid, bend the lower edges of the rear of the base.

Installation and connection of a thermostat

It is customary to install a thermostat at a height of 1.2 - 1.5 meters, opposite heating elements on the inner wall, away from drafts and in the most convenient place, for example, next to switches and sockets, so as not to interfere with the arrangement of furniture, installation of appliances and installation of the kitchen. The thermostat should be open to the air.

Attach the rear panel of the thermostat at the installation site and mark the holes for drilling under a dowel with a diameter of 6 millimeters. After installation of the rear, check the reliability of the mount to the wall. Remember that the thermostat reacts to the temperature in the room, so it should be installed opposite the panel at a distance of at least 2 meters. Close the thermostat after connecting with the lid and calibrated the relay operation temperature.

Cabling

According to the plan for installing the system, warm skirting boards in compliance with all sections that are selected according to the connected power must be laid. Connection to the network of heating elements is produced in parallel, that is, you can connect all mounting wires on one side of the room.

If you need to make the connecting cable hidden, last the channel in the wall if you want the wire to be external to prepare the mounting decorative box. Direct connection is made through a camshaft or thermostat.

Next, you need to combine a warm skirting board with a cable with your own hands. It is strongly recommended to use Dif RCD. Next, select the required length of the wire and burn it in the tip. Insert the tip into the terminal tire and click with a screwdriver. Two cables that go from the panel, connect similarly on the other side of the tire. Check the quality of the clamp in the terminal tire of wires. Fasten the terminal tire to the panel using self -tapping screws. The place of fastening is indicated on the panel or in the lower right corner.

After that, it is necessary to connect the connecting wires to the thermostat (the cable connection scheme is indicated in the passport to the thermostat) and connect the thermostat to the mains.

It is recommended to end the installation of warm skirting boards by testing the heating system. To do this, turn on the system, check the RCD) automatic machine using the test button and set the temperature. Check the thermostat again for the correspondence of the air temperature in the room with the temperature of the response and the heating of the warm skirting board. Remember that the temperature of the heating elements in any case must correspond to the temperature indicated in the manufacturer.
