Characteristics of Conner aluminum radiators
If Conner cast iron radiators are not for you, you can consider aluminum radiators, which, according to users, are durable, lightweight and matchless in design. The devices have a high elegance of execution, and they work quite efficiently, with increased heat transfer. Consumers also note the high reliability of these batteries.
Cast iron radiators "Conner" may seem quite expensive to some consumers. But aluminum models have an acceptable cost, and they can be performed using casting technology or by extrusion. The depth of these devices can be 70 and 100 mm. The circular cross-section of the manifold, the use of composite glue, and the assembly of laser welded joints allow the radiators to undergo high pressure. If we are talking about cast aluminum radiators, then their depth can vary from 80 to 100 mm. The mean value is 85 mm. The center distance is 500 mm.
Reviews of aluminum models
"Conner" is a radiator, which is also offered by the manufacturer in the form of aluminum devices. Consumers especially emphasize that when purchasing these devices, special attention must be paid to ensure that the product is not defective. This is due to the fact that some buyers face such problems. It will be good if it will be possible to exchange the device. After 3 years, these units in some apartments are leaking, but you can use service support under warranty.
If Konner radiators are to be installed within the same room, then you should consider whether their shades and appearance match. In some cases, the models differ from each other, despite the fact that the boxes are exactly the same.
Appearance and working principle
Many years of evolution have passed, but, despite this, the principle of operation of cast iron appliances has not changed. As before, the heated coolant enters the device through the inlet pipe and fills the entire radiator.
Then, through the outlet pipe, the chilled water, which has given up its heat to the radiator body, goes into the heating system
As for the appearance of Conner's cast-iron batteries, it has undergone a lot of changes and this can be seen in the photo and video gallery of our portal. The shape of the radiator sections has changed and in most models it has become not just ribbed, but has increased planes that increase heat transfer.
This is exactly what aluminum and steel radiators from Condor and other manufacturers look like.
The exceptions are those models that are made for antique versions to match a specific design. Even at the factory, heating devices are painted with a special heat-resistant paint, which not only contributes to the appearance of the battery, but also protects the device well from negative external influences.

Reviews of Konner bimetallic radiators
Konner bimetallic radiators are the most innovative development in the field. They are manufactured taking into account the operating conditions in Russia. The construction is very robust, which is ensured by the presence of an internal manifold. According to buyers, it is made of high alloy steel, which gives the assemblies resistance to corrosion. This feature excludes contact between the coolant and water, which is why bimetallic devices are able to work in conjunction with any coolant. As buyers emphasize, it does not matter at all what the acid-base balance is.
During the manufacturing process, these devices are tested, and at the final stage they are covered with epoxy enamel.Users like this very much, since this approach allows you to preserve the primary properties and the surface does not violate the integrity during the entire service life, while it remains resistant to ultraviolet radiation.
Negative reviews of Konner cast iron radiators
Conner heating radiators, as mentioned above, can be bimetallic, aluminum or cast iron. The latter will be discussed in this section. Some consumers argue that this acquisition cannot be called profitable, since the quality makes itself felt during operation. Outwardly, such batteries look aesthetically attractive, look stylish, heat dissipation, according to the supplier, is excellent and reaches 150 watts from each section.
Consumers claim that the installation is successful in any case, without difficulty and quickly enough. But after starting the heating, all the most unpleasant begins. It's cold in the premises, the declared indicators are just a publicity stunt. The temperature does not rise above 23 ° C. Some, choosing cast iron heating radiators, the price of which will be mentioned below, then change them to traditional aluminum ones. From this, it should be concluded that it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the quality characteristics of these devices before purchasing, and also correctly calculate the heat capacity.
Specialist reviews about Chinese bimetallic heating radiators
Andrey Vladimirovich, sales manager
For Chinese bimetallic heating radiators, an important indicator is the heat transfer coefficient. It can vary widely depending on the design. After all, the thickness and quality of the metal from which the inner part is made affects a lot.
Many manufacturers overestimate the real heat dissipation of radiators. In China, they turn a blind eye to this, so sometimes there are embarrassment. For example, a person independently calculated heat loss, selected the number of radiator sections, and it is cold in his house. And all due to the fact that he did not consult with experts.
Sergey N., sales assistant in a heating systems store
I professionally deal with heating systems, mainly with radiators - we sell, install, service. Previously, they sold more Italian and Russian, now mainly China. We put Konner, these are good Chinese radiators, but they have their own peculiarity. They work fine, bimetallic radiators have shown themselves well. But there is a percentage of defects. Although we change without problems under warranty - the company is okay with this.
Olga, online store consultant
Chinese radiators have their own characteristics. First, the unstable quality. Maybe in one batch there will be a large percentage of poorly painted, and in the second - everything is good with it. Sometimes part of the radiators with gaskets, the other with a sealant or nothing at all. There are also questions about the quality of the metal.
Although I cannot say that there is a continuous marriage from China. I can advise you to buy batteries in winter and spring. At this time, manufacturers have a decline in demand and the quality of control improves somewhat. and all illiquid assets leave the storehouses.
Nikolay D., installer
There are a lot of Chinese bimetallic radiators of very poor quality. The design of the bimetal is such that it is necessary to correctly select both the composition of the steel and its thickness and dimensions. And in Chinese factories they don't want to do this or they don't know how. As a result, the sections hardly heat up.
Alexey, installer
I noticed an interesting thing - Chinese aluminum radiators of good brands are often not inferior in quality to Italian ones. Yes, their assortment is worse (if we take into account one manufacturer). But in principle, you can choose a model that is similar in quality and price.
Many installers make good money in China, but then there is trouble with such radiators.Sometimes installers inflate their cost or sell little-known brands at high prices, under the guise of good ones. Therefore, I advise you to buy from a trusted company or store and not listen to the advice of those who will install the heating system.
Inga Olegovna, sales assistant
We constantly sell Konner and Leberg radiators. They are taken by installers who resell to their customers. The main reason is the good quality / price ratio. Many installers pass them off as German due to the fact that the name is similar, but all this is 100% China.
We give a 10-year warranty for these radiators if they are installed by our partners. After all, no matter how good a bimetallic Chinese radiator is, problems with it may arise due to the fact that the master has crooked hands. In the event of a guarantee, we change the batteries without any problems, the manufacturers understand that they may have a defect. In general, now their quality is constantly improving, although the cost is also growing slightly.
Alexey N., installer
China has always been distinguished by a large number of marriages, compared to Europe and even Russia. But the situation has been changing lately. Chinese bimetallic batteries are getting better and better every year, there are fewer defects. But so far they do not reach the level of good brands.
There is no point in recommending any manufacturer, the situation is changing rapidly. And to assess the quality of products, several years must pass. I can advise you to listen to sellers less, and watch the reviews of those who have such radiators.
The cost
If you decide to purchase Konner cast iron radiators, then you should pay attention to the cost of one section, which is limited to 430 rubles. In this case, we are talking about the device "Modern 500", the heat capacity of which is 150 W from one section. If you prefer 4 sections, the power will be 600 W, and the cost will increase to 1,720 rubles. Cast iron heating radiators, the price of which reaches 6450 rubles, can have a heat capacity of 2250 W. The number of sections will be 15. It should be noted that this equipment is manufactured by injection molding, which is most often preferred by modern consumers.
If you do not need such a heat capacity, then you can choose a device, one section of which produces 120 watts. Thus, for the "Modern 300" model you will have to pay 420 rubles, whereas if the heat capacity increases to 1800 W, and the number of sections is up to 15, the cost is already 6300 rubles.
