Suppose you wanted to pick up a boiler, radiators and pipes for the heating system of a private house yourself. Task number 1 - to calculate the heat load for heating, in other words, to determine the total heat consumption necessary for heating the building to a comfortable indoor temperature. We propose to study 3 calculation methods - different in complexity and accuracy of the results....

To make the heated water flow more fun through the pipes, a heating pump is provided in the heating systems of private houses. This solution provides tangible benefits. But the main question that worries homeowners and is highlighted in this material is where to put the pump and how to properly install it....

The forced movement of the coolant in the water heating system is provided by a circulation pump capable of pumping liquid at a temperature of 110 ... 115 ° C. In private houses and apartments with individual heat sources, low-noise devices of the household series with clutch connection are used, equipped with a “wet” rotor (the engine armature is washed and cooled by flowing water)....

The floor heating system is the most comfortable and economical option for heating a private house. The reverse side of the coin is the decent price of components and installation compared to the cost of the radiator circuit. We offer significant savings - to buy materials, install a water-heated underfloor floor with your own hands and pour cement screed....

The law of hydraulics: any leaking fluid chooses the path of least resistance. In the heating network of a private house, the rule is as follows: the coolant pushed by the pump tends to pass through the first radiator or the shortest circuit of the warm floors. As a result, the remote rooms of the building warm up significantly worse....

The distribution comb for a warm floor is not a separate part, but a whole collector assembly responsible for the correct operation of the water floor heating circuits. Our material will help owners of private houses planning to heat underfloor heating (in abbreviated form - TP) understand the device and the principle of operation of this unit, as well as get acquainted with patterns and varieties of combs....

In modern heating systems, a three-way valve is used quite often, since it is a means of quality control of the coolant - by temperature, and not by flow. After all, supplying optimally heated water to radiators is the best way to save energy. There are other useful functions for thermo-mixing taps, which you will learn about in this article....

In the process of heating the boiler, the water expands, the excess coolant fills a special tank located at a certain point in the heating network. Hence our task is to explain how to install an expansion tank in the heating system of a private house. We also specify the connection point, the method of emptying and adjusting the expansion tank....

Electric and water floor heating systems are unable to independently maintain the set temperature in the premises of a private house. The owner adapts to manually adjust the power of the boiler or heating circuits, achieving a comfortable air temperature. To organize automatic climate control, you need thermostats for underfloor heating (TP) installed in each room....

The choice of heating method depends on the financial possibilities of the homeowner. Citizens with incomes above average are more interested in modern heating systems and the latest energy-saving equipment. Rural residents with low incomes set the task differently: to economically heat an apartment or a private house, incurring minimal installation costs....

The device for floor heating of an apartment or a private house begins with calculations. Pipes or heating cables must be correctly selected according to the specific heat output and laid in a certain step. Practice shows: you cannot rely entirely on the experience of hired builders, it is better to develop a laying scheme yourself....

In any heating network, there are foreign particles circulating together with water through pipes and radiators. This is rust, salt residue from the boiler (scale), all kinds of solid impurities. If the amount of debris is large, heat exchangers begin to clog, and mud deposits form in the batteries and pipelines....
