Thinking about choosing a heating system?

Vitaly Lviv's hard to imagine a comfortable and cozy home or office without a good heating system. The most popular type of heating is today considered the water heating system. One of the most important and expensive component engineering is heating. With regard to other engineering systems, water supply - artesian well, a submersible pump and storage tank (receiver) with automatic control system - accounts for about 20% of the total cost of engineering systems, and the pipe layout hot and cold water takes about 10% without costs of water treatment due to its low quality, which predominates in aquifers, Moscow Region. The cost of the sewerage system, including the exterior walls, septic tank, which must be periodically emptied, is 20%. The choice of an autonomous heating system is influenced by many factors: the availability of a specific type of fuel economy, full automatic control, the use of other fuels and the cost of purchase and installation of heating system. It is important to know that a good indicator of the heating system is the system's ability to maintain a comfortable temperature in the house when coolant temperature is so low as possible, thus the cost of operation of the heating system is minimized. All heating systems, using the coolant can be divided into: a heating system with natural circulation (gravity system), ie movement of fluid within a closed system is due to the weight difference of the hot coolant delivery pipe (the vertical riser of a large diameter) and cold - after cooling in the devices and return pipe, the heating system with forced circulation is based on the action of the pump, which causes the coolant to move, overcoming resistance tubes. This is called a circulating pump and allow to heat a large number of premises with an extensive system of pipes and radiators when the temperature difference between inlet and outlet does not provide enough power to heat transfer fluid to overcome the entire network. The first question that should be considered when choosing a heating system - a source of energy will be used: solid fuels (coal, firewood, etc.), liquid fuel (fuel oil, diesel oil, kerosene), gas, electricity. Fuel is the basis for selection of heating equipment and calculate the total cost with a maximum range of other indicators. Fuel consumption of country houses depends on the material and construction of walls, the volume of the house, its mode of operation and the possibility of a heating system for thermal management characteristics. If a country house operated the entire heating season, the possibilities of cost savings and minimum amount to about 10%. If the house is used by tenants for 2-3 days a week, the savings can reach 20-25%.
