A tremendous amount of energy is spent only on heating a living room, especially if it is a country mansion, for a comfortable stay. The right choice of heating equipment is of particular importance here, but the pipe capacity is also important, since the efficiency of the entire heating system depends on this. In some cases, this plays a key role in energy conservation.
Using natural gas for heating
Application to support the necessary temperature conditions of equipment operating on natural gas is considered the most productive and economical. In this case, the temperature balance in the room is maintained by the thermal energy that is generated during the combustion of the gas. The coolant in the heating system is heated to the required temperature, which is subsequently maintained at the required level due to specially installed thermostats. In the process of heating the room there is a constant circulation of the coolant in the heating system, which can be carried out both forcibly and naturally, due to internal pressure in the pipeline. Therefore, it is very important to accurately calculate the throughput of the pipe so that the circulation occurs evenly, thereby increasing the heat transfer efficiency. Heat transfer can be increased due to circulation pumps installed in the system. Modern pumps manufactured by industry have a three-stage system of operation, due to which the power of the supplied fluid flow is regulated.
It is far from always possible to connect to the central gas pipeline. But if a delivery of propane-butane mixture is organized in the area where you live, then it is possible to use a gas holder to organize a complete autonomous gas supply to the country house. The pipe capacity is also of great importance here, especially in the cold season, since, depending on the ambient temperature, the density of such a mixture can change greatly, and additional measures will be required to ensure uninterrupted gas supply from the gas tank to the heating equipment.
Diesel in home heating as an alternative to gas
Unable to equip autonomous gas supply using a propane-butane mixture or by connecting to a gas supply system, many people use diesel heating as an alternative. The principle of operation of the boiler, where a burner with a fan is used, is quite simple. The fuel, which is sprayed by a fan, mixes with air and enters the combustion chamber, where the heat energy needed to heat the room is generated. As in the case of gas equipment, the throughput of the pipe is very important here, with the help of which the entire heating system is connected to the boiler. Further efficiency of space heating depends on the throughput capacity of the pipes of the entire system.
Liquid fuel boilers are only manufactured on the floor. If all the technical requirements for their installation are observed during operation, there will be no unpleasant smell of diesel fuel in the room, and the entire system will work quite efficiently.
Solid fuel boilers
Another option for a heating device is the use of solid fuel boilers. Here, well-known coal, firewood, peat briquettes or wood pellets are used as an energy source. When installing such a heating boiler, it is necessary to correctly calculate what the maximum throughput of the pipe will be when using forced circulation of fluid in the system.
