Kermi radiators for central heating. Kermi FKO - lateral connection. Adaptation of radiators to domestic standards

Why is it better to install Kermi steel radiators?

Steel panel radiators Kermi (Kermi) have long been well known to Russian consumers. The stable reputation of the global brand allows you to count on a high level of quality, and these calculations are invariably justified. A successful laconic design that fits perfectly into any modern interior, as well as a wide range of models that allows you to choose the best option from a large number of modifications, allow Kermi to be used in rooms of any configuration. The two-layer anti-corrosion paint has almost the same coefficient of thermal expansion as steel, which ensures the highest durability of the protective and decorative layer.

Usage steel heating radiators Kermi is justified both for residential or office premises connected to the central heating system, and for individual heating systems installed in houses, cottages and apartments. They can be operated both at a working temperature of the coolant up to 110 degrees Celsius, and in low-temperature heating networks. It should be borne in mind that the operation is designed for operation in a heating system with forced circulation of the coolant.

Are made stainless steel batteries using the patented ThermX2 technology, which saves up to 11% of thermal energy. Each of the two modifications (with or with the connection of heating pipes) is produced with a high degree of variability in terms of overall dimensions and heat output. This makes it possible to choose batteries of different sizes for rooms on an individual basis, which will eliminate the overexpenditure of energy for heating the house as a whole.

Kermi radiators are a guarantee of the perfect functioning of the heating system at home, not only for you, but also for your children and grandchildren.

Adaptation of radiators to domestic standards

Sometimes, when choosing imported heating radiators, the buyer is faced with a discrepancy between their design and domestic radiators: in most European countries, a two-pipe heating system is adopted, while we traditionally use a single-pipe one. By purchasing steel panel radiators Kermi (Kermi), you can be sure that this will not happen: all heating devices supplied to the markets of the CIS countries are produced already adapted to our standards and are perfectly mounted in the heating systems of apartment buildings.

Modifications and marking of the Kermi radiator

Kermi radiators are available in two versions:

1) FKO - with lateral connection to the heating system. In addition to the device itself, the kit usually includes a Mayevsky crane and a bracket for wall mounting.

2) FKV - with bottom connection to the heating system. Distinctive features are the presence of an external thread and a special thermostatic valve. To regulate the intensity of heating, you must additionally purchase a thermostatic head.

ThermX2 technology and its benefits

The main difference between Kermi heating radiators manufactured using ThermX2 technology lies in the principle of distribution of the coolant flow inside the plates. If normally they are connected in parallel, i.e. the coolant from the supply pipe is distributed immediately to all plates at the same time, then the products Kermi have a sequential coolant distribution scheme.

It is important that the coolant first of all flows through the front plate, which due to this heats up faster than the others and immediately begins to give off heat to the surrounding space. Thus, the rate of heating the room increases by about 25%. The emitted thermal radiation quickly warms up the air in the room, after which the convection heating circuit starts to work: the air, heating up between the plates, rises, and its place is taken by heavier cold air, which also heats up, etc.

But that's the advantage of consistent ThermX2 technologies do not end. Since the coolant enters the front plate in the first place, its temperature when flowing through it is maximum. Consequently, the thermal radiation given off by the plate is also maximum for a given coolant temperature. The intensity of heat radiation increases from 50% to 100%, depending on the type of battery used.

Efficiency and economy Kermi

Thus, the designers of the Kermi company (Kermi) were able to achieve growth heating system efficiency without the use of additional heating. The overall energy efficiency of the heating system when using this type of heating device increases by 10-11%, which means that in order to achieve the same thermal performance in this case, 10% less energy is consumed than usual. Water is also consumed less intensively, saving up to 20%.

Reliability Kermi

No less important for the consumer is the operational reliability of products. For the manufacture of radiators, Kermi uses only high-quality steel with a thickness of at least 1.25 mm. The metal is covered with a patented paint and varnish protective coating, including iron phosphate treatment and two layers of a special heat-resistant varnish. Thanks to this, the products retain their impeccable appearance and impeccable performance for 25 years or even more.

Elegant appearance

Small size and elegant product appearance Kermi brand allows them to fit perfectly into almost any interior. If desired, you can purchase side screens or choose a model with a built-in one, in which case the design of the heating devices becomes completely flawless in terms of modern aesthetics.

The manufacturer recommends the installation of steel panel radiators exclusively in closed heating systems. Nevertheless, buyers often contact us with questions such as: Is it possible to install Radiators Kermi FKO 22 in the apartment? However, it is not possible to answer unambiguously here, we will explain why below.

Kermi is a well-known manufacturer of panel and design radiators, heated towel rails, regulators and other accessories for heating systems. For more than 55 years, the manufacturer has become an innovator in this field and has managed to earn the love and trust of customers. And not even thanks to the sensational Therm x2 technology, but rather because of the high quality of products, long service life and, most importantly, the ultra-durable and environmentally friendly coating of radiators.

The most demanded and popular model is the radiator Kermi 22 500 500. It is distinguished by optimal technical parameters for heating a medium-sized room and an affordable price. Many people prefer radiators Kermi 22 type with bottom connection, since this design allows you to hide communications in the floor.

Steel radiators in general and this model in particular are not intended for use in central heating systems. There are several reasons for this:

Steel Radiators Kermi 22 demanding on the quality of the coolant, i.е. it should contain the least amount of oxygen (up to 20 µg/dm3). If it is possible to track this factor in an autonomous heating system, then in the central system it remains to hope for the conscience of the housing and communal services organization that supplies water. Untreated water leads to corrosion and leaks.
The product is designed for a maximum pressure in the system of 7-10 atm. In the central system, it just reaches these parameters. But with constant operation at maximum load, any equipment becomes unusable faster. Therefore, the service life Radiator Kermi Type 22 will be much lower than in the standalone.
The maximum coolant temperature for which Kermi brand steel radiators are designed is 110 degrees. This factor is also easy to control in the heating system of a private house.

Heating panel radiators from KERMI are one of the most appreciated and sought-after models of heating devices on the market of heating devices.

Radiators are made with excellent quality and are relatively inexpensive compared to similar models of radiators from other manufacturers.

Radiators have a modern design, a very compact device and high heat transfer. Kermi is also characterized by low thermal inertia.

Kermi radiators differ from analogues in that they are manufactured using the innovative Therm X2 technology, which increases the efficiency of the radiator by 10-11%.

Kermi radiators are the right solution for your home heating needs. These are modern, powerful, compact devices, have a quality assurance. Each Kermi product is equipped with a side panel and a top grille, painted with a 2-step white powder coating.

Radiators are supplied with air vent plugs and brackets. Each unit is tested at the factory at a pressure of 10-13 bar. Safe packaging reduces the risk of damage to the painted surface.

Kermi radiators have a 5-year manufacturer's warranty.

The number of radiator panels is indicated in the marking and on the packaging:

radiator type 10 is one panel
type 11 - panel with fins
type 21 - 2 panels and one fin
type 22 - 2 panels and 2 fins
type 33 - 3 panels and 3 rows of fins

The variety of standard sizes of panel steel radiators allows you to install radiators in any convenient place in the room.

So, a 300x2000 mm radiator can be mounted under a balcony window, and a 45 mm deep Kermi radiator can be mounted in a small corridor or in a bathroom.

Kermi steel radiators are used in residential buildings, multi-storey buildings with apartment and central heating, as well as in apartment buildings with an autonomous boiler room.
Characteristics of radiators:

The height of the Kermi radiator is 300-900 mm.
Radiator length - 400-3000 mm.
Radiators are manufactured in one-, two- or three-layer design.

Radiators Kermi - customer reviews

“... I want to say a little about Kermi steel radiators. I have Kermi FKV 220509 with lateral connection, central heating, and I am very pleased with them. He made the installation of Kermi radiators with his own hands. They are, of course, more expensive than other models, but they are more suitable for our climatic conditions. The problem is that abroad, in heating systems, air descends very rarely, and when air enters the radiators, their inner surface does not corrode and does not deteriorate.
And our practice of heating seasons shows that water is in the central heating, drains occur quite often, therefore any radiators rust faster, especially aluminum and steel heating radiators…”

Sergey Ivanov, 29 years old, Kolomna

“... Kermi Profil - Ventil FKV panel radiators are installed in my apartment. Have been for five years now. One section leaked, so I had to disassemble and repair.
My radiators are connected from below, so the pipes are not visible at all in the apartment. The difference in price for, say, a two-room apartment of 15-17% (3-4 radiators is a small difference) is almost imperceptible compared to the repair of the apartment of the neighbors below, and maybe several apartments, that’s how much to try ... ”

Alexey, entrepreneur, Sergiev Posad

“... A steel radiator is good, but I like tubular steel panels - they are easy to clean, wipe clean, different colors and a very large size and model range. Therefore, when the question arose of choosing a model, I did not hesitate for a long time - I bought Kermi FTV (FKV) radiators, this is a side connection, type 33, which means the largest size in all directions - width, height and depth, and two panels.
It can also be installed under a window, or a wall 2 meters high and small in width can be easily bypassed. If you pour antifreeze with glycerin into radiators, then any will serve for a long time. Such a coolant is not aggressive and the radiator does not eat through from the inside. If the system is filled with ordinary water, then it is imperative to add an anti-corrosion additive. …”

Heating radiators (heating batteries)

The heating system often requires heating radiators (heating radiators). It is they who carry out the heat exchange between the coolant and the room air.

The site company offers a wide range of heating radiators that are used in centralized and private heating systems:

● steel panel;

● tubular;

● bimetallic;

● aluminum.

To select the optimal batteries for a particular heating system, it is necessary to take into account the features of each type.

Panel heating radiators

Panel heating radiators are distinguished by their ability to work with all types of heat carriers. The absence of gaskets and unnecessary connections in their design guarantees a low probability of leakage during operation.

The power selection of panel batteries is carried out not only based on their length and height, but also on the depth. This is due to the fact that each model has a different number of heating elements and fins.

In the online store site, panel heating radiators are represented by several brands: Kermi, Rifar, Buderus, Vogel, Korado.

Features of Kermi panel radiators

Kermi heating batteries are two plates with vertical channels extruded inward, designed to pass the coolant. To increase the efficiency of heat transfer, some models of radiators have additional fins on the outside.

A distinctive feature of Kermi panel radiators is the specific path that the coolant makes. So, first it goes to the front of the panel and only then to the back. This ensures fast and uniform heating of the room where batteries from a well-known German brand are installed.

Panel radiators Buderus

German Buderus radiators are distinguished by a wide variety of models that are intended for both side and bottom connection. Everyone can buy a Buderus panel radiator, regardless of the heating system used (one-pipe or two-pipe).

The production process of Buderus heating batteries is fully automated, which guarantees the high quality of the finished product and its compliance with GOST standards.

In the site catalog there are models of panels from 40 cm to 300 cm long and from 30 cm to 90 cm high.

Vogel panel radiators

Among the manufacturers of heating batteries, Vogel is distinguished by the unusual design of its products. Vogel panel radiators are assembled exclusively from high quality steels, which guarantees their reliability and efficient operation. And to provide additional corrosion resistance, Vogel batteries are treated with a special compound inside.

Korado panel radiators

Batteries for heating Korado of Czech origin. They are designed to operate exclusively in closed systems, where the operating pressure of the coolant does not exceed 10 km/cm2. At the same time, the design of the radiators is such that it provides maximum air permeability.

In the online store, the site presents models of Korado panel radiators with both bottom and side connection to the heating system. In addition, the range includes batteries from one- to two-panel design.

Tubular heating radiators

Tubular radiators are a classic option. Their design is made of steel pipes welded together. Tubular radiators are the best alternative to aluminum counterparts. They can also be used in most heating systems: closed, open, low temperature. A similar result is achieved through the use of special steel in the manufacturing process, which, with a thickness of 1 mm, is able to withstand operating pressures up to 12 kgf / cm 2. Consequently, tubular radiators can be installed both in private houses and in apartments with a centralized supply of coolant.

On the website of the online store site you can buy tubular heating radiators in Moscow from manufacturers Arbonia, Zehnder Charleston and Irsap Tesi.

Tubular radiators Arbonia

The range of Arbonia heating batteries are products that are perfect for use in apartments or private houses, schools, restaurants and other public places.

The width of one section of the Arbonia tubular radiator is 4.5 cm, and the number of pipes is from 2 to 6. The upper and lower manifolds are made of pressed steel. The height of the batteries ranges from 18 cm to 3 m.

Depending on the connection method, Arbonium tubular radiators are lower and lateral.

Tubular radiators Zehnder Charleston

Zender tubular radiators are the first radiators of this form factor. The debut models of devices were released in 1930.

Tubular radiators Zehnder Charleston are produced in five versions, the difference between which lies in the number of heated pipes per section: from 2 to 6.

The minimum battery length is 9.2 cm, and the maximum is 3 m. At the same time, their height starts from 19 cm and ends at 3 m. Such a significant range of dimensions of Zehnder Charleston tubular radiators allows everyone to choose the right model for specific operating conditions and heating system.

Tubular radiators Irsap Tesi

Irsan Tesi heating batteries are presented exclusively with a side connection type, which entails some restrictions on their installation. The radiator sections have a traditional width for this type of device of 4.5 cm. The height of the batteries has a limited range: from 36.7 cm to 56.7 cm.

By default, Irsap Tesi tubular radiators are painted in white enamel, however, the manufacturer produces models on request in any RAL standard color scheme.

The maximum operating pressure for Irsan Tesi heating batteries is 10 kgf / cm 2, which is quite enough for both centralized and individual heating systems.

You can buy tubular radiators in Moscow at a bargain price in the online store kermi-fko.ru.

Bimetallic heating radiators

The bimetallic type of radiators is made of two metals: a steel core and an aluminum alloy shell. The first material helps the battery withstand high pressure, which in multi-storey apartment heating systems reaches 12 kgf / cm 2. Aluminum alloy is an excellent conductor of thermal energy from the coolant to the room air. Bimetallic radiators are distinguished by increased resistance to corrosion and the effects of various chemical elements.

Bimetal radiators Rifar

Domestic Rifar heating batteries are manufactured using a unique patented welding technology. It provides high reliability and durability of the structure. At the same time, the price of panel radiators in Moscow is significantly lower than their foreign counterparts, because production facilities are located in Russia.

You can get acquainted with the full range and buy Rifar panel heating radiators in Moscow in the online store website.

Due to the sectional design of bimetallic batteries, it is allowed to change the number of sections directly during their installation.

Radiators Global (Heating Batteries Global)

Bimetallic heating batteries Global, regardless of the line, can be installed in centralized and individual heating systems. Such versatility is ensured through the use of a unique technology for the manufacture of radiators.

The symbiosis of steel and aluminum makes it possible to achieve unique results in strength and calorific value. So, to change the temperature of the Global radiator, you do not need to wait until it heats up or cools down. The adjustment process only takes a few minutes.

Depending on the modification, Globex bimetallic heating batteries differ in the following technical characteristics:

● height - from 20 to 80 cm;

● the size of one section is 8 cm;

● working pressure up to 35 kgf/cm 2 ;

● depth - 8-9 cm.

The service life of Global radiators is 20 years, while the manufacturer provides its own warranty of 10 years.

Rifar radiators (Rifar heating batteries)

Bimetallic heating radiators of domestic production. The devices are reasonably priced. Due to the use of a special manufacturing technology, they are direct competitors of foreign manufacturers of heating equipment.

On the company's website, you can find four lines of Rifar batteries:

● Rifar Base radiators. Products from the Basic line are the golden mean between price and quality. Like other radiators of the company, they are assembled from high quality metals. At the same time, the series includes three models of radiators: Base 200, Base 350 and Base 500, where the numbers correspond to the power value in watts. To obtain the maximum performance of batteries from the basic series, a specially prepared coolant with a minimum salt content should be used.

● Radiators Rifar Base Ventil. This is a modified version of the Base series. Its only difference is the presence of additional fittings for the implementation of the lower connection to the heating system.

● Radiators Rifar Monolit. Manufactured using monolithic technology. Here, battery sections are interconnected by welding, forming a single structure. They are designed to operate in the harshest environments. So, according to the manufacturer, Rifar Monolit radiators are able to withstand pressure up to 150 kgf / cm 2.

● Radiators Rifar Monolit Ventil. As in the case of the basic line, the "Monolith Valve" is a modified version of the "Monolith" with additionally mounted branch pipes for the bottom connection.

Aluminum heating radiators

Aluminum radiators are classified as the most calorific, due to the physical properties of the material from which the batteries are made. However, their use in centralized heating systems is not recommended, due to increased requirements for the acidity of the coolant.

The large cross-section of intercollector pipes makes aluminum radiators excellent substitutes for cast iron in heating systems with natural circulation of the coolant.

Aluminum has a low specific gravity, which greatly simplifies the transportation and installation of radiators based on it. The aesthetic qualities of aluminum radiators allow installation in almost any room, regardless of design styling.

Radiators Global (heating batteries Global)

Global aluminum heating batteries in Russia are represented by only two lines: ISEO and VOX. This is due to the fact that they are the best suited for domestic heating systems.

The VOX series are classic sectional aluminum radiators from Global. Despite the prefabricated design, they are designed to work under pressure up to 16 kgf / cm 2. High heat transfer rates (150 W from 35 cm sections and 181 from 50 cm) make it possible to efficiently use the heat of the coolant even with a minimum number of sections.

Globex ISEO heating batteries are monolithic structures that are designed to work in extreme operating conditions. They not only perfectly withstand high pressure, but due to the special fluorine-zirconium layer, they are less susceptible to corrosion and chemical attack. Globex ISEO batteries can be used in systems with a coolant of inadequate quality.
