Types of radiators

At the moment, the company "Rifar" produces only two main types of batteries - aluminum and bimetallic. The first variety is characterized by a lower cost, but at the same time a shorter service life. The design of bimetallic radiators excludes the possibility of contact of aluminum with chemically aggressive substances dissolved in the coolant. Therefore, it is much longer to operate such models without the need for replacement or repair.

Batteries are prefabricated, and therefore the buyer can choose any number of sections necessary to him. Several types of Base are available, with a height of 200, 350 and 500 mm.

Ruler "Monolith"

This is the most expensive, but at the same time the most reliable modification of the batteries "Rifar". The main distinguishing feature of the design of such radiators is the absence of prefabricated units. The battery is a single monolith, hence the name of the line. Channels through which the coolant passes are made of steel with increased resistance to corrosion. The thickness of their walls is equal to the thickness of the walls of water pipes. All this ensures maximum battery reliability. The most popular among the population are the radiators "Rifar Monolith" 500. Reviews about them are the best and most often they are bought by the owners of large cottages and apartments.

Of the shortcomings of this equipment, some consumers note only not too high quality of the external coating. Therefore, when buying a battery, you should carefully inspect it.

Prices for aluminum radiators

Next, let's see how much the installation of such equipment can cost in assembling the heating system of a private house or replacing old batteries in a city apartment. The cost of one radiator depends mainly on the number of sections. In addition, the price affects the height of the battery. One aluminum section with an axle spacing of 500 mm costs about 620 rubles (in 2015). For a battery lower you have to pay a little less. Section 350 will cost about 600 rubles. Since the difference in price, as you can see, is small, the radiators "Rifar 500", reviews of which are remarkable, enjoy a somewhat more popular among consumers. Such models were developed especially for large flats and multi-storey country cottages with high ceilings, but for medium-sized premises they fit very well. For a small apartment, of course, it is better to buy a model of 350 or 200.

Prices for bimetal batteries

Bimetallic radiators "Rifar", reviews about which are mostly positive, are slightly more expensive than aluminum ones. The most popular modifications, as mentioned above, are "Monolith" and Base 500. Section "Bass" costs about 650-700 rubles. "Monolith" sold whole batteries, the price of which can vary from 5000 rubles for a 6-section to 12 thousand rubles for a 12-section.

How much can a purchase cost?

Below is an example of the calculation of the possible cost of bimetallic equipment "Rifar Base 500" for a house with an area of 100 m ² with a standard ceiling height of 2.5 m. We will be guided by the recommendations of the SNiP. According to this document, the required power of the radiator per one square meter of the area is 100 W. This standard is applied to ordinary rooms, well insulated and with a small number of windows (1-2 per room). Thus, for a house of 100 m ^{2 you} will need equipment with a total capacity of 10,000 W, or 10 kW. One section of the Base 500 model has a power of about 200 watts. Therefore, to heat the house they will need 50. Now multiply 50 by 700 rubles. And get the final cost of the equipment - 35 000 rubles. That is, the bimetallic radiators "Rifar", the reviews about which are good, besides they do not cost too much.

How to choose the right radiator "Rifar"?

Which Rifar radiators to choose - aluminum or bimetallic? Working characteristics, and those and other models are very good. The power of both varieties is approximately the same. Aluminum section of 500 mm has a heat transfer coefficient of about 204 W, and exactly the same bimetallic - 198 W. In the strength of the construction, the difference is quite significant. Radiators "Rifar-Monolit", reviews of which allow us to judge them as the most reliable, for example, can withstand the pressure (working) of the coolant to 100 atmospheres. Aluminum models are only designed for 20 atmospheres. But if you take into account the fact that the average working pressure in heating systems of high-rise buildings does not exceed 8-10 atm, and in private houses - 3 atm, both of these varieties are not bad for a city apartment or a country house. Advantage of bimetallic models is considered to be a longer service life. Aluminum batteries are a bit cheaper.

So, no matter what kind of version you choose, in any case, the Rifar heating radiators, the reviews about which are just wonderful, will surely last for many years and will not bring any troubles during the operation.
