Only at first glance it seems that it is enough to install the boiler, lay pipes, connect radiators to them, and the heating system will be ready. In fact, the above is mandatory, but not a complete list of everything that is needed. The heating equipment that is required to create heating for a private house will make up a fairly impressive list, and the use of each element from such a list is due to the provision of normal conditions for the operation of the entire system.

What is needed for this?

Some idea of \u200b\u200bwhat equipment is used for heating a private house during its installation can be obtained from the figure below:

It should be noted right away that this is not a complete list. Additionally, it is necessary to take into account heating devices that directly heat the room. As an example, you can give another figure, which shows such elements, as well as some piping.

Any detail of the heating equipment shown in the figures deserves at least a brief mention in this review and, as far as possible, this will be done.

About the various elements of the heating system

All used components for heating systems can be divided into several different groups.

These include:

• hot water boiler;
• expansion tank;
• pump;
• burner;
• automation of operation control and boiler piping.

Depending on the system being created, different equipment is used for the heating system.

So, the boiler is determined by the available type of fuel, the expansion tank, depending on the type of system, can be open or closed, which is again determined by the heating system. All these questions - what equipment for heating the house will be used - must be resolved at the design stage.

Suffice it to note that when choosing a heating system that uses natural circulation, an additional pump is not required, so that the correct formulation of the problem, as it should be, will significantly reduce the cost of its creation. At the same time, components for heating a private house should be selected for the parameters of specific working conditions at the design stage.

Heating devices

They are no less important part of the heating system than the boiler. Suffice it to say that they are the ones who directly heat the premises. Today used heaters for heating are usually divided according to the type of materials used in the manufacture. As a rule, these are radiators:

• aluminum;
• bimetallic;
• steel;
• cast iron.

There are other options for classifying such devices - by price (budget, premium), performance (standard form, exclusive, individual), reliability and many other factors.

	Bimetal radiators

But regardless of the approach and existing differences, these are primarily heating devices of the heating system, and so they must be assessed. It is efficiency, service life and reliability that should underlie the selection of such devices.

Pipes

The selection of such components of the heating system is no less extensive. The most used materials for heating a private house are:

• metal, including
• steel;
• copper;
• galvanized;
• stainless;
• polymeric, including:
• polyethylene;
• metal-plastic;
• polypropylene;
• reinforced.

The choice of this or that type of pipes largely depends on the capabilities of the creator of the heating system. So, copper, with all its advantages, is expensive, the same applies to stainless and galvanized pipes. In many cases, the choice of the method of their connection becomes decisive, metal most often require welding or soldering, as well as the use of threaded connections, which implies the possession of certain skills. In addition, such pipes are heavy and inconvenient to work with. But on the other hand, they have high mechanical strength.

Polymer pipes do not have such disadvantages, among them polypropylene pipes are especially popular, and according to the recommendations of specialists, preference should be given to reinforced polypropylene pipes. However, their connection requires special welding, but at the same time it is quite simple, and the pipes themselves are quite affordable.

It is also important that you can freely select the necessary fittings - elements that allow you to connect different sections of the pipeline and change the direction of its laying. At the same time, the possibility of connecting pipes from different material, for example, iron and polymer.

Therefore, when choosing materials for heating, such as pipes, it is necessary to take into account many additional factors, including their price that will not be unimportant. In many respects, it depends on the type of wiring chosen - two-pipe or one-pipe.

Shut-off and control valves

Should be considered as an integral part of the heating system. Its purpose is to regulate the temperature, which can be carried out by changing the flow of the coolant both at the outlet of the heating boiler and at any point in the pipeline. For this purpose, various components are used; for heating, the following are used as regulating elements:

• valves, ball valves and gate valves;
• pressure reducers;
• pressure and flow sensors;
• air vents and butterfly valves;
• check valves;
• safety, shut-off and balancing valves;
• manometers;
• thermostatic devices.

Such fittings are installed in the necessary places, starting from heating boilers and ending directly with heating radiators.

Filters

The considered equipment for heating a house will be incomplete if we ignore such components as filters. They prevent debris from entering the boiler and ensure that clean water enters it. Structurally, they can be of different shapes (oblique, straight) and different diameters, allowing them to be used in any pipelines.

How to make a choice

This brief overview allows you to understand the difficulties faced in creating a heating system. There are many recommendations and reviews describing the merits of this or that element, but do not forget that heating a house is a difficult task, and if you solve it incorrectly, you will have to freeze in the cold, not the reviewers. Therefore, it is necessary to use the services of specialists when designing a heating system, long time engaged in this business.

Well, any reviews should be assessed precisely as reference material that allows you to better understand the tasks at hand.

The equipment used to create heating cannot be viewed in isolation from the system itself. It is the principles of its operation, the type and construction options that mainly determine what equipment needs to be used.

In the modern market of household appliances, equipment for heating and water supply country house presented in a very wide range. And in order to understand all its diversity, it is necessary to somehow classify all devices belonging to this category of technology.

This is what our article is about.

Classification approaches

Today, all equipment used for heating private houses, summer cottages and apartments is classified according to various criteria.

The most common classification principles include:

• By type of fuel used... They distinguish electric, gas, liquid and solid fuel installations, as well as devices operating on alternative energy sources.

Note!
Alternative sources include wind turbines, solar panels, geothermal and hydrothermal installations.
Although they are used to generate electricity, they are often separated into a separate group.

• According to the installation principle... Here we can talk about stationary and portable devices. Most of the equipment used for heating private houses is large and therefore belongs to the stationary category. But there are also portable models that can be installed where they are required in this moment.
• Electric, air and water heating systems are distinguished by the type of heat carrier... Electrical systems directly heat the air in the room itself, while water and air systems first transfer heat from the heating elements to the heating circuit, and only then the coolant is carried around the rooms.

It is the last classification that will form the basis of our article.

Note!
Only the equipment for heating a private house that is used directly to raise the temperature is described here.
Peripherals, automatic control systems and radiators constitute a separate layer of units that require a hotel review.

Electrical appliances

Oil radiators

The simplest electrical appliance that is used to heat a private house is.

What is he like?

• Oil radiator Is a device used to maintain the temperature in small spaces.
• This device is a heating radiator in the form of a ribbed body (appearance is shown in the photo), inside which there is mineral oil.

• The radiator heating elements have a power of up to 3 kW. This power is enough to heat the oil filler to a temperature of 200 0 C, but due to the special design of the casing, the outer fins of the radiator do not heat up more than 100 0 C.

Note!
Although you cannot seriously burn yourself on the surface of the radiator, touching its surface can be painful. So be careful.

Convectors

Convectors of various designs can be used as a basic element of a room heating system, as a power source using electric current.

• is a device in which the air is heated by the operation of a heating element or a spiral.
• Hot air masses escape from the upper openings of the housing, while cold air enters the heating elements through the lower slots.
• can be both wall-mounted and floor-mounted. The latter type is often installed in a special recess along the wall or in front of the entrance to the room.

Note! Since the surface of the convector body heats up to a maximum of 80 0 C, these devices can be used even in children's rooms.

Infrared heating

The overview of devices for electric space heating will be incomplete, if not to mention infrared heaters.

What are their features?

• The main difference between IR heaters lies in the very principle of operation.... Unlike all other devices, infrared does not heat the air, but directly objects that receive their radiation.
• Inside the IR heaters there are heating elements that emit light waves in the infrared range under the influence of electric current. In this case, energy is transferred very efficiently.

Installation of heating equipment based on infrared systems can involve both the installation of suspended ceiling or wall devices, and the laying of a warm floor. In this case, the IR elements are hidden under floor covering and effectively heats the coldest zone.

Water heating

Electric boilers

Systems with water heating involve the use of a pipeline through which the heated coolant is supplied to radiators located in heated rooms. In this case, the basis of such a system is most often a boiler - a device in which water is heated to the required temperature.

The most common design is an electric boiler.

Its structure is as follows:

• The basis of the boiler is a water tank, inside which a heating element is located. The performance of the boiler depends on the power of the heating element.
• The heating element operates under the control of an automatic unit, and when a certain temperature of the coolant is reached, it automatically turns off. Thanks to this, modern models of electric boilers consume electricity very economically.
• As a rule, boilers are equipped with special circulation pumps. These devices ensure the continuous movement of water through the pipes, so that all rooms are heated faster and more evenly.

Note! If the pump is not part of the boiler design, you can additionally install it yourself. Installation instructions for circulating pumps can be found in the corresponding section of our website.

• The outer casing protects the boiler from damage, in addition, there is thermal insulation inside it, which reduces heat loss.

Electric boilers are quite convenient to use, but they use a lot of electricity. This not only makes their operation very expensive, but also puts forward serious requirements for the quality of the wiring.

Gas and solid fuel boilers

Unlike electric, gas and solid fuel boilers water heating occurs as a result of fuel combustion.

Both of these types of heating devices work on a similar principle, only in the first case natural gas is used as an energy source, and in the second - coal, firewood or special pellets.

• An igniter is placed inside the gas boiler, which ensures continuous ignition of the incoming gas.
• The pilot ignites the main burner and heats the lower part of the water tank. In this case, the temperature of the coolant placed in the tank rises.
• Gas boilers are single-circuit and double-circuit. A single-circuit boiler provides only heating, while a double-circuit model can be used as a source of hot water for washing and domestic needs.

The principle of operation of a solid fuel boiler is very similar to the principle of operation of a gas boiler.

The differences lie in the design of individual elements, because fundamentally different approaches are needed for efficient combustion of gas and, for example, coal.

• The most modern models of solid fuel boilers include pyrolysis-type devices and models with top combustion.
• Preheated air is supplied to the upper combustion boiler, due to which only the upper layer of the fuel stored in the chamber burns out. This allows you to use less material for heating, in addition, you need to clean the boiler less often.
• In pyrolysis devices, combustion occurs in an oxygen-depleted environment, as a result of which a high-temperature pyrolysis gas is formed. The efficiency of this process is higher than that of conventional combustion, therefore such equipment is more economical. True, the installation price turns out to be considerable.

Both types of boilers can be safely used for heating country houses... But it must be remembered that for storage solid fuel quite a lot of space is required, and the installation of heating equipment associated with the laying of gas pipelines requires special permits.

Fireplaces and stoves

Moreover, they can provide both water heating (then their principle of operation will be similar to the principle of operation of boilers), and air.

• When the air is heated in the gap between the firebox and the "jacket" of the stove or fireplace.
• If the fireplace or stove is not made of metal, but made of bricks, then the air enters the pipes of the heating system straight from the chimney. Naturally, at the same time, it does not penetrate into the rooms, but circulates through the heating pipes, going out into the chimney.
• Fireplace and stove heating is significantly inferior in efficiency to other systems. This is due to both slower heating and lower efficiency.
• But at the same time, a fireplace or stove is not only heating device, but also a design element that brings comfort to the home. It is enough to watch a video clip at least once, the hero of which enters a house with a fireplace from the frost, and you are guaranteed to think about getting the same design.

To ensure comfort and coziness, a variety of heating equipment can be used for a summer residence or a private house. There is definitely something to choose from, and only you can decide what is closer to you - a modern converter or not so effective, but such a familiar red brick stove.

Everyone knows that the "heart" of the entire heating system in the house is the boiler. However, the list, which includes equipment for heating systems of a private house, is actually long. And the installation of the boiler, with the further connection of pipes to it, is far from the end. Therefore, it is worth understanding all the elements of house heating thoroughly.

What is needed for heating

The list of equipment for a home heating system is quite large, but it is important to know that each element in heating that is used to heat a house plays an important role in the normal operation of the entire heating system... The list begins with the purchase of the boiler itself with all its components (burner, control system) to purchase according to your taste.

The elements of equipment for the heating system are quite different, and you need to think about the question of what is needed for heating even in time.

If we are talking about boiler heating, then let's talk about.

Today there are such types of heating boilers:

• Gas.
• Electric.
• Liquid fuel.

Despite the purchase costs and, spending money on heating the house will be significantly reduced in comparison with using an electric boiler. There are already a number of boiler models that can operate on all of the above types of fuel.

Types of heating boilers

Here we will talk about which heat the room we need. Their significance can be compared with the significance of the presence of a boiler in a private house. The main thing is to choose the right type of radiator for your heating system.

The range of batteries for heating is very wide, from budget to premium, from classic cast iron to. It all depends on your taste and desire.

Cast iron batteries have a sectional structure and are known for high thermal inertia. Bimetallic radiators have recently been widely used for central heating systems.

Types of heating radiators

You should know that they are the cheapest option for heating and their service life is on average up to 20 years.

There are steel, they are used in all types of heating systems, have an average weight and heat transfer.

The choice of pipes for the heating system must be taken with an understanding of their importance. Equipment for heating a private house and pipes, which to some extent are " circulatory system»The whole dwelling, are the key to long-term and high-quality use of the entire heating system.

On the market for pipes for heating systems, the following options can be distinguished:

• Reinforced plastic.
• Copper.
• Polypropylene.
• Stainless steel.

More recently, steel was the most common material for their manufacture, but steel pipes have much more disadvantages than advantages. Steel tubes for the heating system they are afraid of corrosion and very quickly clog up, which is a big hassle when cleaning them.

But if not for the price, then the most the best option could be considered, they differ from all in their durability and protection against corrosion. There is an opinion among the people that they will last longer than the house will stand.

Using stainless steel pipes will be uneconomical, but simple and convenient to install. They are ready to serve for a long time.

Reinforced-plastic pipes

Ideal for a private house. Anyone can do the routing and installation of pipes, and the price for them is very pleasant. The downside is that they are afraid of open sunlight.

And are in great demand. For drinking water pipelines, they are the best option. Due to the fact that they do not rust, the taste of water and its composition will not change. But in any case, the choice of pipes is up to you and your capabilities.

Think about warmth. After all, no one wants to be left without heating if something suddenly happens to the boiler or equipment.

When choosing the right pipes, you should pay attention to the type, this plays a big role in the price. The types of wiring for heating are one-pipe and two-pipe. wiring is cheaper and simpler to implement, but somewhat more expensive, it is characterized by quality and efficient performance. Both the comfort in the house and the costs of implementing all stages of installing heating in the house depend on the choice of wiring for heating systems in a private house.

Fittings are elements that allow you to connect different sections of the pipeline and change the direction of its laying. Therefore, the free choice of the necessary pipe fittings is an important detail, especially when it is possible to connect pipes with different materials.

Shut-off valves

TO shut-off valves include taps, filters, gate valves, pressure gauges, thermostatic devices, pressure reducers and more. Shut-off valves are an important and integral part of the entire complex system. It is an element that regulates temperature by controlling the flow of gas and liquid.

There are 4 types of valves:

• Safety.
• Reverse.
• Regulatory.
• Distribution and mixing.

With shut-off valves, you can be confident in the safe and efficient operation of your entire piping system.

The boiler filter itself is the boiler protection. Thanks to the filter, clean water, without dirt, enters the boiler. The sizes and shapes of boiler filters can be different and everything so that they can be used in any pipeline. Water purification for the heating system is a very important thing in the entire heating system. With the help of a filter in the boiler, the water becomes softer, and this in turn contributes to the fact that the batteries will warm up better.

Have you ever faced the fact that the batteries are hot at the top and barely warm at the bottom? This problem arises due to the hardness of the water, in which there are too many salts and they settle on the walls of the radiators, which in turn contributes to their poor heating.

Cleaning filter for the heating system

Chimney

The chimney exists in order to remove combustion products that are used in the operation of most heating systems. They are also used for industrial purposes; chimneys can be an integral part of various structures.

The materials from which the chimney is made are different. You can choose a pipe made of ceramics, cast iron, polymer, stainless steel that suits you.

Summing up

Let's sum up all the pros and cons of the types of heating in order to understand what difficulties can arise when creating heating in the house. Comfort and warmth in the house is an important and difficult task, which can only be solved professionally by qualified specialists. And this article should be regarded as a reference material that acts as an assistant.

The types of construction and the principle of operation of boiler equipment that generates heat must be chosen, carefully thinking over all the details, otherwise an incorrectly built system can fail at the most inconvenient moment for this.
