Practical and reliable KZTO radiators are in demand in the Russian market due to their high quality level and good adaptation to domestic heating systems. The manufacturer offers a wide range of devices with optimal performance. Before buying, you should study the features of your heating system, the available methods for installing batteries and the options for radiators that are on sale.
Manufacturer information
The Russian plant KZTO "Radiator" is located in the city of Kimry, it has existed since 1998 and is engaged in the production of heating devices for residential buildings and industrial buildings. At the beginning of its activity, the company was focused on the production of heated towel rails, but soon it was reorganized. Now the plant is one of the largest companies operating in the thermal industry. The list of the most demanded equipment of the enterprise includes tubular steel radiators of KZTO, convectors of wall, floor and floor type, design radiators and heated towel rails.
Most of the units produced at the plant operate on the energy of the heat carrier of the steam heating system. They can be installed in houses with a one-pipe or two-pipe wiring system, in some devices an electrical connection is available. The company's devices included in the current model range of the catalog are suitable for apartments and private houses. They stand out among analogs from other manufacturers due to their original design and non-standard technical solutions.
Kimry heating radiators are almost impossible to confuse with analogues due to the characteristic vertical arrangement of pipes. At the heart of each device is a horizontal-type main heat collector, invisible behind practical pipe sections.
Range of radiators
Each KZTO radiator with a standard connection is fully adapted to the peculiarities of Russian heating networks. The models of the domestic plant, in contrast to the imported ones, are distinguished by good corrosion resistance, which is characteristic of central heating systems. The inner surface of each has a special anti-corrosion coating, which is applied at the manufacturing stage. The devices are not subject to water-jet wear and have a long service life. The list of models that are in the greatest demand among buyers includes:
- RS and RSK. Kimry tubular radiators of this type are supplemented with 1-4 columns and differ in the type of collector. RS batteries have a square cross-section, and RSK devices are round, and their cost is 10% higher. The heaters do not differ from each other in technical characteristics, they have a side-type connection, and a bottom connection option is also available for them, if the priority is the floor-standing installation method.
- Harmony 1 and 2. This line includes several modifications of devices. Heating radiators of this type have a non-standard design and belong to the convector group. Each battery consists of double pipes, which are inserted into each other and sealed at the ends; a heat carrier circulates between them. This structure allows convective air flows to move along the inner and outer surfaces of the device. The difference between the radiators is that the first model has one row of pipes, the second two.
- Stella.Heating batteries from Kimra of this type are tubular radiators with mirror inserts. They are available in two versions: single-row and double-row, have two connection methods, including bottom and side. All Stella radiators are thoroughly prepared before painting. The pipes of these batteries are subjected to priming, stripping, and also double painting using various composites according to a certain technology. First of all, a polymer with an acrylic base is applied by electrophoresis, then the product is coated with an epoxy-polyester dye. This method allows you to achieve a uniform surface color that is resistant to abrasion and detergents.
The model range of heating batteries from the Kimry plant includes heat convectors made of steel and an alloy of aluminum and copper, wall-mounted and floor-mounted, options built into the floor, as well as other devices: floor models "Breeze", floor-standing appliances "Elegant" and their miniature a copy of "Elegant-mini", as well as convector tubular units "Effect".
How to choose batteries KZTO
All KZTO heating radiators are designed for stable operation in Russian heating networks. When choosing a specific model, you need to take into account the technical characteristics of the device and the requirements for a home heating system. Models "RS", "RSK" and "Harmony" are suitable for independent systems, since they have strict requirements in terms of the quality of the heat carrier. The reason lies in the material, these devices are made of steel, which quickly corrodes with a high content of oxygen and suspended matter in the water. Steel heat radiators of these types must be supplemented with air vents, preferably automatic.
For installation in one-pipe and two-pipe heating systems with pipes made of metal, steel or metal-plastic, it is better to choose Blues convectors, the power of which does not exceed 3310 watts. Floor-standing batteries of the "Elegant", "Elegant mini" and "Elegant plus" series are suitable for bottom connection, some models can be hung on the wall and the radius of curvature can be changed depending on the needs. Radiators "Effect" are ideal for installation in apartment buildings due to the optimal working pressure up to 15 atm. Both bottom and side connections are available for them.
Radiators "Harmony" of single-row and double-row types have different radius of curvature, so they are also ideal for rooms with bay windows. Stella devices have a single-row and double-row design and two types of connection, which can be bottom or side. When ordering any radiator, you can choose its basic white or cream shade, or order an individual color from the RAL palette. Other customer needs are also taken into account, for example, specific design and interior features.
Advantages of Kimry radiators
Kimry heating radiators have a lot of advantages over their foreign counterparts. All devices presented in the line are manufactured taking into account modern technologies and can be installed both in private houses with autonomous systems and in multi-storey buildings. Models of the plant are distinguished by ergonomic construction and optimal design, do not take up much space, have ideal height and dimensions, and attractive appearance. A wide range of devices allows you to choose the ideal option for a specific room. The line of the plant's radiators includes tubular steel batteries, floor and floor solo units, designer models in the form of benches and towel dryers.
Before choosing a radiator, you need to take into account the increased requirements for the quality of the coolant for most of the Kimry batteries. Air vents must be purchased for each radiator, regardless of its type. They must be automatic; for stable operation, such devices are equipped with dirt filters and tubes. If the device is connected in a lateral way, the filter can be omitted; for devices with a bottom connection, this element is necessarily included in the package. Customers can choose a model with a floor or wall installation, for devices of the first type, options with three or four columns of pipes are used.
Kimry's designer radiators are gaining popularity for their ability to enhance the aesthetics of all heated spaces. The manufacturer offers ready-made options and the ability to order batteries with an individual design depending on the style of the room.
