Faced with some new concept, a person seeks an answer to a question related to him. One day, one of them may be the question of what are registers? In this case, we are talking about an element of the heating system, which consists of one or a series of smooth-walled pipes. Between themselves they are connected in parallel. The register, in one form or another, is the basis of most heating radiators. It turns out that the heating battery is a register to which metal elements are attached (in one form or another). This allows you to significantly increase the heat transfer area.
What are registers and where can they be used?
This element can be an ideal means for heating, not only in technical and industrial premises, but also in private homes. They are widely used for heating apartments of a small area, as well as for individual rooms equipped with autonomous heating systems. This is due to the fact that such decisions are considered to be effective only when they have a sufficient amount of coolant, the return of which is high enough. A large volume of coolant in
autonomous systems requires a significant amount of heating energy, as well as a long cooling time, and this ensures a long transfer of accumulated heat to the room. Pipes of large diameter, but with a limited length, make such systems more reliable, compact and economical.
Speaking of what registers are, it is worth comparing the efficiency of heating rooms with their help. It is important to note that it is slightly lower than that of traditional radiators. This can be explained by the fact that the heating registers do not have additional metal area. However, the possibilities of their application and methods for increasing heat transfer have a very significant range. It is possible to fix additional metal plates to the smooth-bore pipe during the manufacturing process of heating devices, which will increase the heat transfer by several times. If you use general purpose registers, connecting in parallel a lot of thinner tubes, you can not only create an effective system, but also give it a decorative effect. They are also sometimes called
tubular- shaped
design radiators , and they are used for decoration and as heating devices in
public buildings .
Understanding what registers are, it can be noted that these are usually
pipes whose diameter is 32 millimeters or more. That is why in heating systems, trunk lines made of smooth-bore pipes can already be considered registers.
Application
Since the registers are several pipes placed in parallel and interconnected, they can quite successfully be used in autonomous heating systems, both single-pipe and double-pipe. It is appropriate to use them in houses with any number of storeys. The increased durability allows installing registers in rooms with a central heating system.
