What company choose aluminum radiator

It is rather difficult to understand the variety of the market of aluminum radiators, because they are so “identical”. Further selection is easier to do at least "narrow search". Of the entire set of manufacturers in terms of quality, reliability and more or less affordable prices, we can distinguish Purmo (Finland), Royal Thermo (Russia-Italy), Tessen (China), Global Radiatori (Italy), Rifar (Russia), IPS (Italy) . Examples of products of each of these companies in our material will be discussed.

Top sectional aluminum radiators with side connections

Sectional aluminum radiators - one of the most recognizable of those that can be seen almost everywhere. And in this distribution there is a sense - they are relatively inexpensive (aluminum, which we are talking about), practical, and you can easily buy in many specialized stores.

Our experts analyzed the market and identified the rating of the most successful models. Let's start with the models with lateral connection. The maximum working temperature of all presented radiators of this category is 110 ° C (except Rifar Alum Ventil 350 x16).

Royal Thermo Revolution 350 x14

Rating: 4.8

The first radiator to which we turn your attention is the Royal Thermo Revolution. This model is produced by a joint Italian-Russian enterprise, so it is initially focused on the specifics of domestic central heating systems. The radiator dimensions are 80x1120x420 mm with a spacing of 350 mm. The unit weighs 14.14 kg. Heat dissipation is 1974 watts. The volume of fluid inside is 4.06 liters (0.29 liters per section). Connection diameter is 1/2 inch. Maximum working pressure 20 bar. Impressive weight is compensated by excellent heat dissipation, which is achieved due to the additional finning of PowerShift. This radiator is especially valuable for systems that “sin” with hydraulic shocks - to such sudden pressure drops it has increased stability.

Prices: from 6300 to 7000 rub.

Tessen 500/60 x8

Rating: 4.7

The second worthy unit in our ranking is the Chinese Tessen 500/60 x8.It is much more compact than the previous Royal Thermo Revolution. Its linear dimensions are 60x480x570 mm. But, in this case, this compactness is achieved due to the almost twice smaller volume - 2 liters. Each section holds 0.25 liters of fluid. Heat output is also almost two times lower than the previous one - 920 W. The device weighs quite a bit - 5.6 kg. The radiators of this model are made of high-quality aluminum alloy with the addition of silicon by injection molding. This ensures the highest mechanical strength of the case.

Global VOX EXTRA 350 x10

Rating: 4.6

Another high-profile model in our rating, which was collected by our experts, is Global VOX EXTRA 350 x10. In terms of heat transfer, it is slightly weaker than the previous examples - 890 W, which does not fully justify its completely “ordinary” dimensions - 95x800x427 mm. Ten 80-centimeter sections weigh 9.9 kg. This is quite a lot, but there are more. But here comes to the fore the volume of water capacity - 3.6 liters - almost like that of the same Royal Thermo. All this is made up of 10 sections. Radiators of this brand can be used in systems with a wide range of coolant temperatures, as well as in systems where condensing boilers are used. A stable and reliable color is obtained in the production of two-stage technology: anaphoresis and subsequent spraying of polyester-based epoxy paint.

Prices: 5300 rub.

Global VOX R500 x12

Rating: 4.6

Almost one hundred percent twin brother of the previous Global VOX EXTRA 350 x10, both in appearance and in essence, but only two more sections were delivered to it. This adds weight to a very impressive 17.4 kg and a volume of up to 5.52 liters. By the way, it is even a little higher - 590 mm versus 427 mm in the previous one, therefore, with external similarity, it is necessary to carefully design a site for the Global VOX R500 x12. It is good in terms of heat emission - 1524 W, and it is entirely possible for them to heat an area of ​​about 23 square meters. m, but that's all, of course individually. The linear dimensions of the unit - 95x960x590 mm. All other advantages that are characteristic of products of the Italian factory "GLOBAL DI FARDELLI OTTORINO and C" are also available here: high-quality materials, reliable coloring, 10-year manufacturer's warranty, etc.

Prices: 6460 rub.

IPS Elegance 500 578 x8

Rating: 4.4

IPS Elegance 500 578 x8 is an eight-section radiator manufactured by Industrie Pasotti (Italy). It weighs almost like a Global VOX EXTRA 350 x10 - 11.2 kg. And this is with linear dimensions of 85x640x578 mm. The volume of liquid inside is rather modest - 2.88 l, less than only Tessen 500/60 x8 with its minimum two liters. Heat transfer is slightly higher than that of Tessen - 968 W. The whole structure consists of eight sections. These radiators are characterized by special reliability: the Industrie Pasotti plant has been successfully operating for over 50 years, and has a rather narrow specialization - the production of cast aluminum parts. All products undergo multi-stage quality control, including hydraulic, metallurgical and even quantum-quantitative tests.

Prices: 5307 - 9845 rub.

The best aluminum radiator with a bottom connection

Now a few words about the best, according to our specialists, radiator with a bottom connection. This is a way out for those whose planning simply does not allow them to correctly and safely connect a “side” radiator so as not to disturb the interior.

Rifar Alum Ventil 350 x16

Rating: 4.7

The first thing that distinguishes it is an increased maximum operating temperature of 135 ° C compared to the “average” level. Outwardly, it is almost exactly the same as all of the above, the battery, but from 16 sections. The volume of liquid inside is 3.04 liters, 0.19 liters for each section. Heat dissipation - 2448 watts.Such an aggregate cannot weigh a little - 19.2 kg, but this is by no means an exceptional indicator (Global VOX R500 x12 with side connection weighs only 2 kg less, and in terms of heat transfer it is incommensurably weaker). Radiator dimensions - 90x1280x415 mm. To a radiator in a delivery set there is a set for installation.

Prices: 11220 rub.

The best tubular aluminum radiator

Finally, about one solution that stands out from our list, and to which the visitors of modern public institutions (shopping and entertainment centers, the lobby of large offices and warehouses, as well as many smaller facilities) are very well accustomed.

Purmo Aquilo F1T 90 290

Rating: 4.9

With the Purmo Aquilo F1T 90 290 a lot becomes clear already by its appearance - it is embedded. Heat output varies from 1089 to 4529 W, depending on the width. The maximum operating temperature is more than standard - 110 ° C. Equipped with a centrifugal fan (this is the essence of this radiator). The length can also vary from 1000 to 3500 mm, as it is mounted under the entrances of different widths. The height of the "box" of the radiator is 90 mm, its thickness is 290 mm. Weight, depending on the length, can vary from 8.7 to 30.45 kg. To a radiator in a delivery set there is a set for installation.

What aluminum radiator to buy

1. Now summarize the results. If you need to heat a medium-sized room in about 20 square meters. meters, you can use the Global VOX R500 x12 or its “big brother” Global VOX R500 x12.

2. The Rifar Alum Ventil 350 x16 can easily cope with an even more difficult task, but it implies a lower connection.

3. "Baby" Tessen 500/60 x8 is better to entrust more feasible tasks - it is perfect for a small room, it is convenient to use in a small country house.

4. The IPS Elegance 500 578 x8 and the Royal Thermo Revolution 350 x14 are solid workhorses, but the Elegance is much more reliable and durable. On the other hand, Royal Thermo Revolution is better adapted to the obviously bad old systems with “dirty” coolant and probable hydraulic surges.

5. Well, if you have your own trading floor or an entire mall, then with the help of Purmo Aquilo F1T 90 290 you will provide not only warmth and comfort to your visitors, but also a strong marketing effect to your company.
