Probably, there is no such person whoI would dream of spending the winter in a cold apartment. Therefore, consumers are increasingly trying to choose more efficient batteries. Among them - cast-iron radiator MS-140, the technical characteristics of which will be presented below.
Why does a modern customer choose cast-iron batteries?
Cast iron radiators have many advantages. Judging by the feedback from customers, people distinguish the following advantages:
- High resistance to corrosion.
- Excellent thermal inertia.
- Long service life.
- An impressive cross-section of radiators.
- Lack of electrochemical corrosion.
Excellent corrosion resistance of thein the article radiators, according to users, due to the fact that when using the surface is covered with dry rust. It excludes the development of corrosion processes. Among other things, cast iron is notable for its durability. Therefore, garbage and stones do not harm him, that they get inside from heating pipes. Buyers have to their liking the cast-iron radiator MS-140, the technical characteristics of which will be presented below, also for the reason that it has a good thermal inertia.
Inertia and Lifetime
As the buyers emphasize, even after 60 minutesAfter the boiler is turned off, the batteries will retain 30% of the radiated heat. But for steel radiators this figure is only 15%. One can not help but mention the long service life. If we are talking about a high-quality radiator made of cast iron, then this equipment will last 100 years, although the producers say only about 30 years.
Due to the internal section of the radiators describeddevices rarely require cleaning. Among other things, cast iron simply can not cause electrochemical corrosion. Experienced users say: this indicates that there should not be any conflicts with steel or plastic pipes.
Technical characteristics of the radiator MC-140
Cast-iron radiator МС-140, technicalcharacteristics of which force consumers to choose this equipment, is manufactured in the territory of Russia and Ukraine. The maximum temperature of the coolant reaches 130 ° C, while the maximum possible working pressure is 9 bars. In one section there are two channels, which allows us to state that the design of such radiators is sectional. In one such section there are 1.35 liters of water.
How to calculate the heat output?This can be done by knowing the performance of one section. So, its heat transfer is 175 watts. Weigh a section of 6.2 kg. This must be considered before installing the device. The width of one section is 98 mm, and the diameter of the nipple hole is 5/4 inches. As inter-sectional gaskets of such products, heat-resistant rubber is used.
Looking at the radiator cast iron MC-140, photowhich is presented in the article, you should pay attention to the fact that the sections and plugs are manufactured according to state standards 1412. The material for them is SCH-10. But the material for nipples is KCh-30-6F. This part of the radiator is manufactured in accordance with GOST-1215. However, having become acquainted with the advantages of the devices described in the article, one should not be in a hurry to acquire them. After all, it is necessary to know beforehand how many sections it will take for the heating system to work effectively.
additional characteristics
Cast-iron radiators for heating MC-140, technicalthe characteristics of which must be known to the consumer before buying the goods, have many advantages over analog models. For example, low chemical activity of the metal provides a long service life in the heating networks of Russia. But a small hydraulic resistance allows using them in systems with natural circulation.
Customer testimonials indicate that the temperatureworking environment is quite high. No other similar device is capable of withstanding +130 ° C. For most, the limit is 110 ° C. Such devices have low cost and high heat output. All other batteries made of cast iron have this characteristic in the section "defects". But for the MC-90 and MC-140 models, the thermal power of the sections is compared with metal and aluminum radiators.
For MS-140 heat transfer can vary from 160 to185 watts. The final value will depend on the manufacturer. Radiator heating cast iron МС-140 can be used even with a heat-transfer agent. In this case, the internal surfaces of the products will not be corroded.
Reviews about choosing a radiator with sections
According to users, the number of sectionswill depend on the configuration of the room. The main parameter is the area. However, there are other, no less important factors. Among them, buyers distinguish:
- presence of double-glazed windows;
- zoning;
- height of ceilings;
- floor;
- the dimensions of the niche;
- number of windows.
People say:if there are several windows, it is recommended to place the radiators under each of them. This will reduce heat loss. If the cast iron heating radiators MC-140 are to be installed in the corner rooms, then it is better to choose more powerful models. They are filled with additional sections in the number of one or two. Users argue that this requirement is due to additional heat losses, which will certainly affect a person's comfort.
If the room ceiling height does not exceed 3 m, and the area is 50 m2, then we must use a certain formulacalculation of the number of sections. To do this, the area of the room must be multiplied by 100 W, and after dividing the obtained value by the heat transfer of one section. If as a result you have a fractional number, then users are advised to round it up. This will provide power reserve.
Reviews about the features of installation
Cast-iron radiator МС-140, technicalthe characteristics of which were presented above, according to users, should be installed according to certain standards. First you need to pick up the mounts. They can be represented by angular or pin brackets. The latter are used to fix batteries on a wall made of gypsum or bricks. As for the corners, they are intended for wooden walls. To fix the batteries at the corner, consumers are advised to stock up with dowels and screws.
Consumer recommendations
Radiators, cast iron МС-140 500, technicalthe characteristics of which are presented in the article, should be established after the correct choice of location. One radiator should have 3 brackets or more. With the use of dowels and drills, the brackets are fixed. At the next stage, judging by the opinions of consumers, it is possible to proceed with fixing the radiator. Do not rush to remove the protective film from the device. Initially, you need to install it on the bracket. Otherwise, the battery can be scratched.
Conclusion
Radiator cast iron МС-140, the characteristics of whichin the majority only positive, has also some lacks. Customer testimonials indicate that they should include an impressive weight. The weight of the section with an intersectional distance of 500 mm will vary from 6 to 7.12 kg. These will take from 6 to 14 per room. This allows you to calculate what the total mass will be. Now you can imagine that this product will have to be brought first, and then hung on the wall. This feature can be called a disadvantage, which is expressed in a complex installation.
Among the minuses, buyers also call fragility,which is not the most pleasant characteristic. With its massiveness, the products described need to be handled with care. After a blow they can simply burst. Friability also indicates a not-high working pressure, which is 9 atmospheres. As for the pressure test, it varies from 15 to 16 atmospheres.
