Features of rifar bimetallic radiators

The main feature of rifar monolit radiators is that they move the coolant through different channels. They connect all together into a single non-separable structure... When creating it, a special welding technology is used. As a result, the heating battery has reliable protection against leaks, since there are no areas where it could arise. Another feature of the Rifar Monolith 500 radiator model is that it has a developed surface from which heat is transferred. It is made of aluminum alloy, which provides good heat dissipation, and besides this, it also has a robust design.
Thus, the bimetallic radiator Rifar Monolit 500 is a new solution in space heating. Products are distinguished by high technical characteristics. Their advantages are:

• reliability, which ensures rapid heating of air in any room, even a large area;
• they are quite suitable for use in rooms in suburban dwellings.

Manufacturer's choice

When choosing one or another model of a radiator, take into account that we cannot talk about the poor quality of this product. The fact is that such devices are subject to mandatory certification of conformity. Therefore, there are no defective and deliberately low-quality products on our market.

Simply, batteries of "economy" class have a lower cost due to the following factors:

• less material was used for their production;
• constructively, they are a little simpler;
• the final finishing of the products was not done very carefully.

Note! Batteries presented in the "economy" class (up to 350/400 rubles per section), which are made by Chinese and little-known Russian manufacturing companies, cannot be classified as bad counterparts. They can be used. Just take into account that they can withstand less coolant pressure and look less aesthetically pleasing.

What models are worth staying on

Italian device Sira.

Batteries of average cost (and this is 400/600 rubles per one section) are the main part of all proposals in our market of heating devices.

There are several companies here.

1. Russian manufacturer Rifar.
2. Italian bimetallic radiators Global.
3. Also the Italian company Sira, which invented these devices.

Global products.

There are almost no qualitative differences between them. You have to choose only for functionality and aesthetic reasons.

There are practically no more expensive and ultra-reliable models of combined radiators on our market.

1. I just need to say about the Rifar Monolit line. It has a monolithic steel core that can withstand operating pressures of up to 100 atm.
2. The second model range of the "elite" category is Piligrim batteries. They have almost non-corrosive copper tube cores.

Functionality of devices

Rounded Rifar Ventil.

1. If you think about which batteries are more functional, then most of them on this basis hardly differ. It should only be noted that some manufacturers produce models with non-standard center distances.
2. All companies offer radiators with a distance of 500 and 350 millimeters.
3. However, if the narrowest devices are needed (200 millimeters gap), then it is worth knowing that they are produced only by Rifar, BiLUX and Sira.
4. The most oversized counterparts (800 mm) are made only by Sira.

Separately, it must be said about several lines from Rifar, which have additional functionalities.

Battery device Rifar Monolith.

1. The first of them is the mentioned bimetallic heating batteries Rifar Monolith.
2. The second is the Rifar Flex models. They can be purchased (on order) not straight, but rounded. This feature makes it possible to mount them along rounded walls.
3. The third line is Rifar Ventil radiators. They have lower connection pipes. Bottom-connected heating schemes are especially common in private homes. A mechanical thermostat is mounted in such a radiator to regulate the thermal power of the device.

Characteristics of Rifar Monolit radiators

Rifar monolit bimetallic radiators are very popular due to the following characteristics:

• test pressure from 110 atm;
• working pressure of the coolant up to 70 atm.

Device

Monolith bimetallic radiators are a fundamentally new device for space heating. They are produced by the Rifar company. These heating products have excellent technical characteristics and at the same time meet the Russian operating conditions. By its appearance, this device is similar to a conventional aluminum sectional radiator. However, he is different from his fellows. Its main feature is the presence of a coolant that moves through steel channels. The unique welding technology used to connect them allows for a single structure.

Advantages of rifar monolit radiators

Radiators of the Monolith series have their own advantages:

• durability;
• long-term manufacturer's warranty, which goes up to 25 years;
• the efficiency of maintaining the temperature regime;
• high resistance to corrosion processes.

High performance steel in terms of corrosion resistance, it was used by the manufacturer when creating channels through which the coolant circulates in rifar monolit bimetallic radiators. The wall thickness of the duct is the same as that of water pipes. In heating devices of this series, non-freezing liquids can be used as a heat carrier.

In these bimetallic products, you can use a coolant with a temperature of up to 135 degrees Celsius. High strength characteristics of the structure allow these products to withstand coolant pressure up to 100 atm. Rifar monolit bimetallic radiators can be used in premises for various purposes, including children's institutions and medical institutions. They are distinguished by the ease of installation work.

Bimetallic radiators Rifar Monolith

Rifar specialists created a new modification of rifar monolit bimetallic radiators specially for rooms with a large area and having poor thermal insulation characteristics. In addition, batteries of this series can be used in extreme conditions, including in the Far North, for which sudden temperature changes are common.
This model differs from other rifar bimetallic radiators in that it is able to warm up large volumes of air in a room in a short time. In this regard, it can be used not only in residential premises, but also in commercial buildings. These radiators will be an excellent solution for shopping and office centers. They can also be used in industrial workshops and warehouse buildings.

One of the distinguishing features of rifar monolit radiators is that they have monolithic construction... Thanks to this, such radiators are protected from leakage. This makes the operation of bimetallic radiators of this modification more reliable, they last longer.

As a feature and at the same time advantages of the Rifar Monolith battery is its ability to work with different types of coolants. Therefore, they can be used in buildings with an autonomous heating system.

Highlights of Combination Batteries

1. Bimetallic radiators consist of steel or copper pipes and aluminum heat exchange panels.
2. The coolant, passing through the core, quickly heats up the shell, and it heats the room air.
3. The panels promote optimal heat distribution. In addition, they also have an aesthetic function, because look stylish and graceful.
4. Thanks to the use of aluminum, the radiator is lightweight.
5. The core tubes are very strong. They can withstand a pressure of 16/35 atm. and the temperature of the coolant at + 90 °.

Varieties of devices

Sectional battery.

Before choosing bimetallic heating batteries, it should be noted that there are two types of them.

1. Actually, combined radiators with a steel tube core surrounded by an aluminum shell... Such devices have increased strength, their leakage is excluded.
2. In semi-bimetallic counterparts, only pipes are made of steel to strengthen vertical channels.... The aluminum elements of the device are partially in contact with the coolant. Such devices give off thermal energy 10% better, and their price is 20% less.

Note! The instruction says that it is better to purchase the first type for an apartment, because its characteristics are adjusted to the city water, in which there is a lot of "chemistry". It is better to install devices of the second type in a country building with an autonomous heating system, because aluminum behaves better with an increased operating pressure of the network.

1. Most of these devices are recruited from a standard number of sections, connected by nipples at the factory.... The number of elements is always even. If necessary, you can add or remove sections with your own hands.
2. In addition to sectional products, manufacturers also offer one-piece combined radiators.... Their core is immediately dimensioned. It is wrapped in a curly aluminum shell. Such a device is capable of withstanding up to 100 atm.

Instrument characteristics

The photo shows a comparative table of the characteristics of devices made of different materials.

A little about the most important parameters of bimetallic heating batteries.

1. The heat transfer of devices is measured in watts at a water temperature of + 70 °. The average value of the heat output from combined radiators is 170/190 W. Which is an excellent indicator.
2. Heat transfer can occur both through heating the air and convectively, which is facilitated by the special design of the devices.
3. The pressure in the system that the device can withstand is 16/35 atm., Which depends on its manufacturer and model.

Note! In centralized heating systems, the operating pressure is no more than 14 atm. In autonomous networks - 10 atm. Radiator manufacturers always indicate their ability to withstand medium pressure with a margin.

Models with different center distances.

1. The center-to-center distance is the distance between the centers of the upper and lower collectors of the battery. These are standardized values: 200 mm, 300, 350, 500 and 800. When calculating sections of a bimetallic radiator, keep in mind that this choice makes it possible to install a device that fits optimally into the piping.
2. The maximum water temperature that the bimetal can withstand is 90 °. Only this figure is true, if the manufacturer indicated a higher one, it is incorrect. It should be noted that the level of heat transfer from the device depends on this indicator.
3. Combined radiators have a service life of about 20 years. This is an average indicator - and not high or small. In this case, the devices do not need to be serviced during its course. Unless, of course, force majeure circumstances arise.
4. Installation of a heating battery - bimetallic counterparts are easy to install. Their sections are the same. This makes it possible to put them both to the right and to the left of the pipes.

In the place where the pipe is located, a branch pipe is screwed to the battery. On the other hand, a plug is placed, from the side section of which the Mayevsky crane is located, and a plug is also mounted from below.

Disadvantages of radiators

1. The main disadvantage of such radiators is their relatively high cost. They are much more expensive than conventional cast iron counterparts. But this minus is offset by the reliability, durability and aesthetics of the bimetal.
2. It is worth noting that with negative simultaneous exposure to air and water, the steel of the core from the pipes can begin to corrode. This happens when, in an accident or repair work, the coolant is drained from the heating system.
3. Pipes also become unusable from antifreeze, which is used as a coolant in autonomous networks of private houses. If you plan to use "non-freezing", then it is better to refuse from combined products and prefer cast iron or aluminum ones.

Copper core batteries.

Note! The best option is to choose batteries with a copper core and an aluminum case. The oxide film on the pipes has good strength and will protect them from corrosion. Another way to get rid of rust is to buy batteries with a stainless steel core.

Varieties of reefar radiators

If you need a battery with high heat dissipation rates, choosing bimetallic batteries from this company is the right decision. Bimetallic products of Rifar Monolith modification allow provide stable heat indoors under critical operating conditions. They are able to withstand operating pressures up to 20 atm. They can operate at coolant temperatures up to 110 degrees Celsius. For Russian operating conditions, rifar monolit radiators are the best choice. They can be installed as part of not only centralized heating systems, but also one of the elements of autonomous systems. If we talk in more detail about the Rifar line of batteries, we will single out several models:

• Rifar Monolit;
• Rifar Base;
• Rifar Alp.

Steel pipe - the main element of the Rifar battery sections. It is cast with high pressure aluminum alloy. This ensures high strength characteristics of these products and excellent casting properties. The product of a monolithic type, which is obtained during the production process, allows achieving high heat transfer from the Monolith series radiators with a good safety margin of the product.

Among all models of radiators offered by the company, the Rifar Monolith battery has the best technical characteristics. Also, rifar monolit radiators are characterized by a high degree of fire resistance and resistance to corrosion processes. In the process of their manufacture, a unique technology for assembling collectors is used, which are made of durable steel. Steel ducts are not connected using nipples, as is the case with heating devices from other manufacturers, but using a unique welding technology. The result is non-separable design.

Benefits of Rifar Monolith

The most important advantages of Rifar Monolith batteries are their reliability and durability. The working pressure movement for metal instruments is 70 atm. Another feature of these radiators, which is worth knowing for those who are interested in this heating product, is an even number of sections. Their number can vary from 4 to 14.

Radiator options Rifar

Rifar bimetallic radiators can be made in various versions:

Flex - in this version, the battery can have any radius of curvature. This allows it to be conveniently placed side by side behind convex and concave walls. The use of special brackets ensures easy installation of such a heating device along the wall with a minimum radius of at least 1300 m.

Ventil - a feature of this version of bimetallic batteries is the presence of a lower connection in which a thermostatic regulating valve is built.

Models of heating devices "Rifar" and reviews

Bimetallic radiators from the city of Guy, all other things being equal, have lower prices. Their quality is not always at the proper level: there were precedents. When buying, you need to carefully examine the condition of the paintwork, check for chips, painted over cracks, places with poor paint, etc. You also need to pay attention to the fact that the inlet and outlet holes are not clogged with chips and scale. This is especially critical with bottom connection - small diameter outlet pipes. There were cases of obvious deformation of the sections before painting, which, nevertheless, went on sale. In general, the usual slovenliness, but spoils the overall impression greatly. However, these radiators are recommended by their owners and plumbers alike.

Such is the case with Rifar's marriage, therefore, when buying, carefully check

Basic model

The most widespread modifications are Rifar Base (in the specification they are designated Rifar B). The peculiarity of this model is the closed back wall. This makes it possible to install them with their "back" to the glass and not worry about their appearance.

The Rifar Base modification is available in three standard sizes: with a center distance of 50, 35, 20 cm

Rifar Base is produced in three standard sizes with a center distance of 500, 350 and 200 mm. The power of one section is 204, 136, 104 W respectively. The nominal diameter of the manifolds is one inch.

The same Base model can have a bottom connection. This variant is listed in the catalog as Rifar Base Ventil 500 (with a center distance of 50 cm). Bottom connection radiators are convenient if your pipes are hidden in the floor or just a two-pipe bottom wiring. But the peculiarity of these is as follows: the supply should be connected to the right, and the "return" - to the left. If your previous radiators had a different connection, you will have to digest the liner.

Rifar Base Ventil - bimetallic radiators with bottom connection

Testimonials almost all are positive:

“All my life there were cast-iron batteries, and I didn't think there could be anything better. But they put in the Rifar B500, and I understood what new technologies mean. Now it takes up less space, but it warms up better - you can hardly hold your hand ”V.N. Pskov

“Rifar Base is in the office. I decided to put it myself - they look very nice and warm just fine. And they stood for three years, no complaints. " Elena Elabuga

“I have bimetal Rifar at home for 7 years already. Radiators are like radiators. An ordinary thing, not a computer and not 3D, what to take a steam bath? " Stas Moscow

“We have Rifar Base - the most popular model. We put several apartments every day, no complaints. Bet, don't be afraid "Valley, Khimki

“There are four Base radiators, all factory-assembled. On one of them, where the "Mayevsky" tap was installed, the enamel began to swell, crack and come off. It looks like I got a broken, illiquid ... "Denis, Tuchikovo

RIFAR Forza

It differs from the previous modification by the presence of a larger number of thinner ribs. The standard sizes are the same, the specific power is slightly higher, the shape of the ribs is slightly changed. This model does not have a bottom connection option. Rifar Forza (Rifar Forza), although more powerful, but is in less demand. And for some reason there are no reviews. It is also available in three standard sizes: with a center distance of 200, 350 and 500 mm. The diameter of the collectors is 25 mm (one inch).

Rifar Forza 500 is very powerful - it has six air duct ribs

Slim radiators Alp

This modification is 5 cm thinner than its predecessors: the depth is only 75 cm. It is produced only with an axial distance of 50 cm, has a power of 191 W, which is a very good indicator for this size. This is an excellent choice in cases where small window sills are installed, or strict compliance with SNiP standards is required (the heater must occupy at least 75% of the width of the window opening), and the power of standard models is too high.

In the catalog, this model is marked as Rifar A500. Apparently, the specificity of the size also does not contribute to popularity, but one review was found.

“For 4 years now I have had 2 radiators B under the windows and one A on the side in the corner room. Everything is fine, we wear shorts and T-shirts. I advise everyone. They work great and keep you warm. " Shmelik L.

Monolithic bimetal

The Rifar Monolit radiator has a fundamentally different structure. It does not consist of sections, although it looks like this, but is a single frame. Firstly, it is a full bimetal (both horizontal collectors and vertical pipes are steel), and secondly, the structure is welded. First, the frame is cooked, then an aluminum fur coat is put on it. Hence the name "Monolith". This type, unlike all the bimetallic products described above, can be used in systems with antifreezes. The absence of seams led to the fact that his working pressure was generally unrealistic: 100 atm, and the test pressure was 150 atm. It is unlikely that this resource will be in demand: the pressure is too high.

This is how the "Monolith" collector from "Rifar" looks like

Bimetallic radiators "Monolith" are produced with two diameters of collectors: G 1 / 2˝ or G 3 / 4˝ (half-inch and three-quarter).

But not everyone wants to install such seemingly reliable heating devices for themselves. And here's why: the bottom connection is non-standard - the distance is 80mm (standard 50mm). There are almost no fittings for this option. In addition, the system has to be redone.

These are all the benefits of Rifar Monolit graphically

There are both negative and positive reviews about Rifar Monolith.

“After 4 years of operation, the Monolith from Rifar began to drip. We stood on the 9th floor of a 14-storey building. Photo attached. Draw your own conclusions. " The review is not signed.

Photo provided with a review. This is Rifar Monolit after 4 years of operation.

“I put a monolithic bimetallic radiator“ Rifara ”in 14 sections in a 12m2 room. These are the Rifar Monolit 350. The room is corner, with two outer walls, so they took power with a margin: before, the oil heater also worked almost all winter, the walls were damp and blooming. In the winter, after installing a new battery, the additional heater was not turned on and the walls were dry. Very satisfied "Renat
