How to make the block heater

Autonomous heating is understood as heating of owner-occupied dwelling or the apartment which functions irrespective of the central heating services. The block heater provides boiler and pipe system in which the water or antifreeze giving to warmly warmed room circulates.

It is required to you

  • - smoke pipe;
  • - boiler;
  • - project documentation;
  • - pipes;
  • - water;
  • - welding machine with electrodes;
  • - expansion tank;
  • - radiators;
  • - float-operated signaling device of height of water;
  • - threaded and welding connections.

Instruction

1. For a start choose type of the heating device, the number of water heaters, diameter of the used pipes and other important elements of heating system. Considerably to facilitate this procedure, entrust calculation of design part of heating system to experts. In the work they will consider as the standards existing today, and design features of the building.

2. The choice of that or other autonomous heating services is influenced by, at least, several factors: type of the built building whether gas is brought to the house, and if not, then whether there is opportunity it to make and also whether water is led to the building. For example, for one-storey buildings with abrupt roof the vertical centralized heating is recommended. At the same time ventilation in such houses has to be executed in the form of difficult (more true and lower) distributings with natural air circulation. If in this case the boiler is installed in the basement, then height of smoke pipe has to be not less than ten meters. If in one-storey building the flat roof, then is recommended performance of horizontal distributing. In two-storeyed houses the two-pipe system of hot-water heating with vertically going struts is installed.

3. Start mounting of the block heater, adhering to the project documentation in the work. In the highest point of the house establish expansion tank which has to be placed vertically over boiler. In this expansion tank establish the float-operated signaling device tracing height of water in heating system. Install the boiler. You remember: circulation of liquid on pipes of heating system will be better if boiler to establish slightly lower than the level of pipes (ideally - in the basement). Lay the pipeline highway in the direction from the heat carrier, connecting it by means of threaded and welding connections to radiators.

4. On completion of installation works test work of heating system.
