Residents of high-rise buildings and private houses, with general or individual heating, seek comfort indoors. Temperature is one of the parameters that affect well-being. If you want to cool off in the hot summer, then in the winter it is often necessary to warm yourself. Therefore, reliable heating equipment should be installed at home. Of course, expensive air conditioners can increase or decrease the room temperature. But buying a quality radiator will significantly save the family budget and bring warmth to the house for a long time.
Why choose Blyss?
Any brand of heating equipment is represented by several modifications. To choose the appropriate option, experts recommend relying on the parameters of the room and the reviews available on the Internet. Blyss radiators became known in Russia due to the affordable price and a wide range. Opinions of customers vary slightly and have a positive trend. Experts recognized the product as not only the best in its price category, but also responsible for quality in the long term.
Manufacturer
Despite the fact that the Blyss brand is owned by the British company Climatic Control Corporation LLP, the production of goods is carried out in China. Today, products from the Celestial Empire have conquered a huge segment of the domestic market. Heating appliances are no exception. Trademarks Titan, Epico, Shar, STI and Blyss have gained particular popularity in Russia. Reviews on radiators of these brands prevail in information sources and have a positive trend. There are also negative opinions of experts on poor-quality Chinese products. The list of products that do not stand the test of Russian heating systems includes models of radiators Yongkang Jinbiau Machine and China Wangda Group.
Specifications
In addition to the popularity of the brand, any technical equipment is distinguished by dimensions, appearance and operating parameters. The main characteristics of heating appliances are:
- material;
- sizes
- weight;
- number of sections;
- connection diameter;
- center distance;
- volume;
- section width;
- heat transfer;
- test and working pressure.
Experts note the wide range and many advantages of Blyss radiators. The reviews of masters specializing in the installation of sectional heating equipment indicate the ease of installation of Blyss samples and the reliability of structural elements.
Range
Having average parameters among most manufacturers in their price category, the considered heating devices are characterized by a high heat transfer coefficient. This is an attractive feature of Blyss radiators. User reviews directly depend on the chosen model and its ability to maintain the optimal room temperature. The company produces bimetallic and aluminum radiators, which are produced in the form of 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 sections.
Based on the models presented on the Russian market, radiators with any number of sections can have a different center distance and width.
Advantages and disadvantages
Equipped with additional fins, several times increasing the heating area, significantly increases the thermal conductivity of the Blyss heating radiator. Customer reviews of bimetallic samples indicate their advantage over aluminum counterparts. If in the first embodiment, water quality does not play a role, then in the case of aluminum, the radiator is more likely to corrode, and, therefore, leads to wear on the inner surface. In addition, when aluminum is destroyed, a chemical reaction is triggered that can lead to battery rupture. Therefore, in apartment buildings, it is recommended to use bimetallic radiators. They are not susceptible to destruction inside the system and have an aluminum coating on the outside, which contributes to a more rapid distribution of heat throughout the room.
The appearance of the batteries also attracts the buyer. The surface glistens and shines with snow-white due to powder dyes.
Installers of heating equipment call the advantage of the additional installation kit that comes with the radiator. This greatly simplifies installation and adds positive feedback to Blyss radiators. Among the advantages is also the specialized connection of the sections, which ensures tightness, individual design and a long-term manufacturer's warranty.
4 or 6 section aluminum radiator
The instance is the cheapest and easiest option for heating equipment with acceptable characteristics and acceptable reviews. Blyss aluminum radiator with a center distance of 500 mm provides a heat transfer of 186 watts. Overall dimensions are 316 x 572 x 78 mm, and the mass of the section is 820 g. One section with a width of 79 mm is filled with 0.32 l of water.
A six-section specimen is 1/3 longer than the previous one, but with almost the same basic technical characteristics:
- one inch connection;
- weight is 5 kg;
- the volume of one section is 320 ml;
- distance between axles 500 mm;
- section width 79 mm;
- dimensions 474 x 572 x 78 mm;
- working pressure 1.6 MPa.
4 or 6 section bimetal radiator
It refers to low-cost copies and is labeled among specialists and installers of equipment as a Blyss 500 80 radiator. Customer reviews are slightly different from the opinions of users of aluminum samples. Less complaints about marriage, leaks and other problems of use. However, it is not possible to assess the longevity of working with domestic heating systems, since the brand appeared on the Russian market not so long ago.
Four-section models have dimensions of 320 x 555 x 80 mm, two additional fragments extend the model by 160 mm. And in that, and in another case, the possible volume of the section is 0.22 liters, and the width is 80 mm. The distance between the axles is 500 mm, the heat transfer is 16 W lower than aluminum representatives, but the working pressure is 20% higher. The mass of the section of the short bimetallic sample does not exceed one and a half kilograms.
8-section aluminum radiator
Despite the fact that the cost of equipment grows in proportion to the number of segments, long batteries also find their customers and receive good reviews. The 8-section Blyss radiator has the same parameters as a four-section heater. So, of the same values, it is worth noting the center distance, width, weight and volume of the section, permissible pressure. Dimensions are increased only in width, which is 1.5 times larger than that of six-section samples. With an increase in the number of sections, the heat transfer of the radiator increases accordingly.
The manufacturer produces a compact model of 8 fragments with a distance between axles of 350 mm. Here, the section width is reduced by 2 mm and the height by 34 mm. Due to the smaller area, heat transfer is reduced by 25%, and volume by 13%. The reduction in size and individual indicators does not affect the working pressure and quality of heating. Nevertheless, the choice of miniature models is supported by specialists only if they are used in areas with low window sills, since their price is slightly overpriced.
8-section bimetal radiator
The difference in cost between the two types of eight-section batteries and the smaller dimensions of aluminum samples sometimes do not work in favor of Blyss bimetal heating radiators. Reviews show that the savings in this case are quite acceptable. If the equipment is installed in an individual heating system or the buyer likes to experiment, or maybe just plans to make expensive repairs in a couple of years, then buying a budget aluminum model will be a great solution. If, as in Soviet times, you want to install the battery forever, then the best choice would be a bimetallic sample of medium length. For example, an eight-section radiator has excellent thermal conductivity, does not clutter up the space like a 12-section model, and differs among competitors in reasonable prices.
In this category, the usual and reduced in height model is also presented, which affects the center distance, section size and volume, pressure and mass. The heat transfer of a compact radiator is less than a full-weight heater by 22%.
10 sections
The most expensive high-quality device, consisting of one dozen sectional fragments and low in height, was recognized as a Blyss bimetallic radiator. Customer reviews for using this model deserve special attention. Despite the relatively high price, the device did not disappoint users, since it has excellent characteristics of a smaller version:
- pipe connection diameter 1 inch;
- volume 0.17 liters;
- center distance 350 mm;
- fragment width 77 mm;
- overall dimensions 770 x 405 x 80 mm;
- heat transfer 135 W;
- pressure 1.6 MPa;
- section weight 1220 g.
Good parameters are also observed for a large-sized specimen with a distance between the axes of 500 mm. By increasing the length of each segment by a width of 3 mm, and a height of 150 mm, the heat transfer reaches a value of 170 W, and the mass approaches fifteen kilograms. The permissible working pressure of the device with dimensions of 800 x 555 x 80 mm rises to 2 MPa, and the volume of the section grows by 15%.
Of the simplified models, the Blyss 10-piece aluminum radiator has good technical specifications. Reviews of the understated model presented on the Internet indicate good heating abilities of the device, and compactness makes installation and installation in hard-to-reach places easier. Compared to bimetallic, the aluminum version has a slightly larger volume, heat transfer, but less weight. The remaining parameters are absolutely identical for the two small-sized representatives.
The standard model of an aluminum radiator is distinguished from the bimetallic version by an increased section volume and heat transfer. However, the pressure was reduced by 20%, and the overall dimensions were slightly changed for all three indicators.
12 sections
Of the entire range of products presented, the peak price falls on the aluminum model of lowered height with a center distance of 350 mm. Its overall dimensions are 960 x 430 x 80 mm, pressure 1.6 MPa, heat transfer 138 watts. A standard radiator with a distance between the axles of 500 mm practically does not differ in length, depth and working pressure. By increasing the heating area and the volume of each fragment, the heat transfer of one section increases by 48 W, and its mass grows by 200 grams.
A bimetallic version of 12 sections is presented on the Russian market in one version with dimensions of 960 x 555 x 80 and is distinguished by 2 times the large weight, capable of withstanding 2 MPa and providing heat transfer of 170 watts.
Criterias of choice
Of course, technical characteristics are crucial for heating the room. But there are parameters that are no less important:
- universality of connection;
- the amount of time spent on installation;
- stylish design;
- profitability;
- compactness.
All these qualities are possessed by Blyss aluminum and bimetallic radiators. Expert reviews allow us to conclude that the batteries work flawlessly. However, in order not to be disappointed, you need to correctly calculate the number of sections. Experts recommend using 1 section for the following areal size:
- 1.5 m 2 - in case of increased heat loss;
- 2 m 2 - when the premises are located on the first or last floor;
- 1.8 m 2 - if one or more walls are completely glass;
- 3 m 2 - in ordinary rooms;
- 3.5 m 2 - in rooms with underfloor heating.
In any case, the installation of heating equipment should be handled by a professional who, with a competent approach, will always help the client to calculate the required number of sections and tell you the best option for the center distance.
