Purmo radiators are one of the well-deserved brands of heating systems. Finland is engaged in the manufacture of such structures. Finished appliances are renowned for their quality and durability. Such equipment is widespread in many countries, and has received good reviews in Russia.
Manufacturer information
The company specializing in the production of radiator heating systems belongs to the large-scale Rettig Heating concern. Only certified materials are used in production. Each element of heating equipment is manufactured in accordance with GOST.
The concern has branches in Moscow and St. Petersburg. The manufacturer manufactures structures that can overcome the harsh Siberian climate. The range of the company includes more than 1000 standard sizes of heating equipment.
Main types of products
Among the wide range of items, Purmo radiators have some differences in the method of fastening, type of construction and purpose. Suitable for one- and two-pipe heating systems.
Tubular batteries
Purmo tubular radiators are manufactured from mild steel with a D-profile. It makes it possible to increase the heat output. The number of tubes in designs depends on the type of model selected. The top and bottom are manifolds obtained by welding the tubes.
Such structures are distinguished by high performance, capable of giving off a large amount of heat for rapid heating of air. The welding seams are sufficiently sealed, which indicates a long battery life.
Decorative
The decorative battery from the Purmo brand belongs to the tubular. This design has an individual design and non-standard connectors. The design is suitable for a functional addition to a children's room or a room with a spectacular interior. Such models can be selected according to the color palette.
Panel Radiator Systems
Steel panel radiator Purmo has a small thickness, along the perimeter the materials are made with protruding fins. They complement the structural strength and allow efficient heat transfer.
Models are made by welding. Inside, special channels are created that ensure the unhindered movement of the coolant inside the device. Such systems are used in rooms with a high degree of humidity.
Vertical and horizontal radiators
These models refer to panel options.
- Horizontal types of heating systems can be used in domestic conditions and for heating in offices, shops and industrial premises. Such batteries usually have a standard length: 60, 80, 100, 120 cm. If you need to get an option with larger dimensions, you must first make an order.
- Purmo vertical steel radiators are designs that are suitable for heating rooms with narrow and high walls, rooms in which there is no possibility of connecting horizontal radiators.
Thanks to a thermal power of about 25 kW, it is possible to heat small narrow closed or open rooms, such as utility rooms, basements or cellars.
Hygienic radiator options
Such models are installed mainly in doctor's or treatment rooms or any private clinics. The structures are resistant to moisture, rust and corrosion are not formed on them. During heating, hygienic radiators do not emit any foreign smell.
Purmo Radiator Specifications
It is known that the Purmo company is one of the renowned manufacturers of heating technology. In the manufacture of systems, special attention is paid to performance. However, they are different for panel and tubular models.
The characteristics of panel options include:
- production material - low-carbon cold-rolled steel;
- test pressure - 15 bar;
- working pressure - 10 bar;
- the coolant temperature is 110 degrees.
Characteristics of tubular products:
- number of tubes in one section - no more than 6;
- construction depth - 63-215 mm;
- power of two-pipe products - 13-223 W;
- power of six-pipe radiators - up to 809 W.
Panel sections can be connected at the bottom or top. Tubular radiators can be connected at the end and in the middle.
Manufacturer's advantages
Purmo radiator batteries have a lot of positive qualities, due to which they deserve good consumer reviews.
- They work effectively in rooms that previously did not give in to heating and do not have insulation.
- The devices are compatible with underfloor heating.
- They are able to quickly heat the air from bottom to top.
- They have a large number of sizes, so they can be selected for any room in terms of area.
- They are considered universal, as they are used in domestic and industrial conditions.
The devices are considered safe, as the manufacturer tries to avoid sharp corners during the manufacturing process. In addition, high-quality enamel is used for painting structures, which does not darken or crack over time.
Disadvantages of radiator equipment
The disadvantages of this heater cannot be ignored.
- Not suitable for installation in apartment buildings, as it has a too low operating pressure.
- Too strict requirements for the pH of water - 8.3-9.5 units.
Tubular devices have low heat dissipation. Therefore, they are not able to quickly and effectively warm up the premises. There is also a great risk that, due to insufficient heat, fungus will appear on windows and walls.
How to choose the best option
The radiator manufacturer Purmo has a large number of modifications in its range. Each has the ability to adjust the power. After installing the structure in the general heating system, you can also control the heat supply to each section. It is necessary to make the right choice depending on the purpose of the equipment.
- Air is a convenient design that allows you to ventilate the room without opening a window. For this, a special filter is installed next to the radiator, which is mounted in the ventilation. Through it, fresh air enters the room and immediately heats up.
- Delta Laserline - tubular systems are suitable for rooms with high ceilings. Welding seams are strong and tight because they are made using a laser tool.
- Ramo Compact (RC) - panel models with side connection. Suitable for rooms where the battery is installed in special niches. In appearance, the structures have an unusual design with shallow notches.
- Hygiene (H) series - panel equipment. Used for social and industrial premises. They are considered hygienic. They have four holes for connection to a stationary heating system.
When choosing a model of a Purmo radiator unit, it is worth considering in which room it will be installed. It depends on how effective the operation of the heater will be.
