Comparative characteristics of popular models of Oasis radiators

One of the elements of the heating system is a radiator. The device is made from different materials and consists of sections. By means of this device, the heat carrier transfers heat to the environment. Oasis - radiators, designed for high pressure values ​​in the pipes.

Advantages and disadvantages of Oasis radiators

The Oasis battery, depending on the material of manufacture, has the following advantages:

• inertness to aggressive substances;
• the possibility of installation on any heating structures;
• high degree of strength;
• no restrictions on use;
• a good level of heat transfer, contributing to the rapid warming up of the room;
• relatively low cost of aluminum and steel models;
• the possibility of using in multi-storey and one-storey buildings.

Oasis heating radiators also have disadvantages. Not every user can afford bimetallic models, since their cost is higher than other types. Steel and aluminum products are subject to corrosive processes, and also have low mechanical strength.

Main types

Oasis radiators are made of several materials: steel, aluminum or metal alloy (bimetallic). Each type has its own scope, service life.

Bimetallic

Bimetallic radiator Oasis can be installed on centralized heating systems, as well as in closed systems of private houses. Due to the special design, such products are not harmed by pressure surges in pipes up to 45 atmospheres. The following materials are used in the manufacture of the device:

• Aluminum. Heat exchangers are made from it, through which heat enters the room. There are a large number of air ducts under the decorative panel. They provide a high level of heat dissipation.
• Steel. The material is used for the manufacture of an internal structure, inside which the coolant moves. The core is of high quality and mechanical strength. Thanks to this design, the liquid cannot come into contact with the aluminum parts, so the risk of corrosion is reduced.

The product line includes 2 models of bimetallic radiators: Oasis 500/80 Premium, GMB.The minimum number of sections in the device is 6, but if necessary, they can be increased to 12.

Aluminum

Aluminum radiators Oasis are characterized by fast heating and slow cooling. They are installed on both centralized and individual heating systems. According to the manufacturing method, the products are injection molded and extrusion. The first option is corrosion resistant. It consists of 4-12 sections. The extrusion tool is small in size and smooth on the surface. In this case, the sections consist of 3 interconnected blocks.

The outer surface of the product is coated with a polymer coating that performs a protective function. Aluminum radiators are made taking into account the climatic characteristics of the regions, therefore they are well suited for our country. The warranty period is 15 years. In parallel with such radiators, metal or plastic pipes can be used.

Since the structure is collapsible, it does not take much time to install the product. The aluminum radiator can operate at high pressure (16 atm.) At a coolant temperature of 110 degrees. For efficient operation, the system must be regularly vented.

Steel

For the manufacture of steel radiators Oasis used cold-rolled metal, the thickness of which is 1.2 mm. Polyepoxy paint is sprayed on the surface of the panel, which protects it from the negative influence of the external environment and gives a decorative look. Connecting models is side or bottom. The manufacturer offers fixtures consisting of 2 or 4 panels. Some models are equipped with additional stiffeners.

You can purchase sectional or tubular options. The first type is difficult to repair, while the second has thin walls. Steel radiators have good heat dissipation, but they heat up slowly. The efficiency is about 85%. They are resistant to mechanical damage, but they do not withstand the increased pressure inside the pipes, and are also prone to corrosion.

Installation methods

Before starting the installation of Oasis heating radiators, you need to decide on how to install the device. The following methods are used to fix the product:

• Side. The pipe supplying the coolant is connected to the upper radiator pipe, and the outlet is carried out through the lower one. If you increase the number of sections, the opposite section of the structure will heat up worse. In this case, the heat transfer will decrease. This feature must be taken into account when it is necessary to add sections.
• Lower. This option is not the most effective, since the efficiency in this case decreases. This design is suitable for installation in systems where the heating pipe passes under the floor covering.

Which connection method will be used depends on the type of heating system.

Operation of Oasis radiators

The owner of the radiators must follow the operating instructions. It provides for the preliminary preparation of the coolant. It should have a pH in the range of 6.5-8.5, and the maximum heating temperature is 110 degrees. It is also important to adhere to these rules:

• if necessary, or during the end of the heating season, the radiator is disconnected from the system;
• since water will remain in the system, you need to ensure that the room temperature does not drop below 0 degrees;
• when bleeding air, the air vents must not be illuminated with open fire;
• taps installed at the inlet / outlet open smoothly to avoid water hammer;
• filters are installed on the supply risers, which prevent clogging of the control and air valve;
• external cleaning of devices is carried out with soapy water or mild agents - it is prohibited to use abrasive powders;
• if there is a need for frequent air bleeding or breakdowns, a specialist consultation is necessary.

After installation, before starting the system, the operability of the radiators and the tightness of the connections are checked.

Main problems in operation

During operation, some problems may arise:

• blockages in heating pipes;
• air locks;
• decrease in efficiency due to improper operation or installation;
• the appearance of a leak in the places where plugs and regulators are installed;
• incorrect calculation of the number of sections.

Oasis radiators for Russian heating structures are chosen more often than others due to their low cost. However, you need to correctly calculate the number of devices themselves, as well as the number of sections in them. If installed incorrectly, the heating devices must be replaced. In addition, you need to follow the operating rules.
