guarantee of a comfortable stay in a private home in the winter is the calculation of the power system and correct installation of loops that will help reduce the consumption of energy used for heating.Therefore, when a heating private house with his own hands, the location of the pipes must be chosen depending on the area of heated space and system complexity.The main element of the heating system is a boiler.From his power depends on the quality of the warm contours and amount of energy used.The boilers are solid fuel, electricity and gas, but the layout of the pipes is only two types.
heating scheme: private house
heating system is single-pipe and two-pipe.One-pipe heating system requires a higher pressure inside the circuit.Radiators are connected in series only, which does not regulate their power.If reduce the power in one of them, automatically reduce the heat remaining in a circuit of radiators.In such a system is necessary to provide a vertical coolant spill.To do this, set the vertical risers, and the expansion tank is above the location of the circuit, for example, in the attic.Two-pipe system is much more effective in this regard, but require more consumption of materials during installation.The system has two lines with the coolant.One line (top) is filed, and the second (lower) - outlet.Lower abductor called the return pipe.When the heating system is designed private house with his own hands, the location of the pipe is indicated in the technical documentation.The diameter of the pipe must match the diameter of the inlet on the boiler.The natural circulation circuits maintained slope of pipes per 5 mm per meter line.Expansion tank installed at a minimum height of 2.5-3 m from the boiler.The contour line is closed in the boiler.
supply coolant circuit
supply of coolant in the loop is executed in two ways:
- using natural circulation and water line moves under the influence of its own gravity and temperature differences, while in the contours created by the low pressure;
- using forced circulation and water line moves under the action of the circulation pump, the pressure inside the circuit is much higher - disadvantage of this circulation pump is dependent on electricity.
Making heating private house with his own hands: the location of pipes
to supply coolant to the radiator using the upper and lower wiring.In the one-pipe system, the coolant is supplied through riser from the top floor to the bottom, and the water is cooled down once again falls into the supply circuit.That is why the contours of the upper and lower floor is heated unevenly, the ground floor will warm worse.At the upper hand in such a system, the hot coolant first enters the attic or other technical room (the highest point of the system) to the distribution tank, from which it is carried down the contours of the first to the second floor, then the first.When installing heating private house with his own hands, the location of the pipe (riser) in a two-pipe system can be both horizontal and vertical.Also provided in the return pipe place drain the heating system circuit.The system with the bottom distributing is the location at the bottom of the pipe system and the movement of the coolant will organize from the bottom up.With this system layout arrangement heating pipes can be single-pipe and two-pipe.
