The issue of the planning of the heating system should be done before the construction of the main structure. Professional builders strongly recommend thinking about communication systems at the end of excavation work. In this case, a competent project will contribute to saving funds, and will make it possible to avoid many annoying alterations.
The boiler should be selected depending on the location and size of the house, as well as on the type of fuel, which is supposed to be used.
If a small house is planned, located in the region, where solid fuel (coal, firewood) is the optimal energy carrier, it is necessary to use stove or fireplace heating. If there is an appropriate permission from the power supplier, you can safely choose an electric convector. If the dimensions of the house are 250 – 300 kV. m, it is necessary to install an electric boiler and a hydraulic heating system.
Wisdom and deficiencies in heating systems
You should stop the choice on a gas boiler if gas is summed up in the settlement. However, if it is possible to reduce pressure in the feeding line, it is recommended to opt for a liquid fuel boiler.
With any option, there are disadvantages and advantages. Fuel boiler requires tuning the burner, a specially equipped storage place of combustible materials. Constant increase in oil prices reduces economic benefits from the minimum initial costs of acquiring a boiler of this system. And the creation of autonomous gas banders (from 500 to 10,000 liters), for example, despite great investments, will give tangible fuel economy during operation.
Heating systems with natural or forced circulation
Heating with natural circulation is used in houses whose area does not exceed 150 kV. m. With the apparent simplicity of this system, it requires accurate calculation and compliance with the angles of the descending of pipes that supply hot water to the batteries (heating devices).
Forced circulation systems are used in houses with an area of over 250 kV. m. In this case, the movement of water in the heating system is performed using a special circulation pump, the power consumption of which does not exceed 120 W. The use of additional equipment significantly improves water circulation in the heating system, but requires a constant power source.
Without going into the intricacies of the pipeline wiring schemes in the heating system, it should be noted that two -pipe systems where both pipelines will be connected to heating devices using layouts are the most common currently.
You can also use the “warm floor” systems. But in individual houses, this system cannot be the main.
Independent design of this type of communications will certainly lead to errors, therefore it is strongly recommended to invite a specialist for design, since alterations will cost money and time.
