There are several types of heating systems that can be used in residential low-rise buildings. They differ significantly in their layout and composition. This article is devoted to the following questions: what heating scheme two-story house considered optimal, its main elements, features of construction and wiring. And also provided formulas for self-calculation of the heating project.

Varieties of heating systems

Heating schemes, in addition to classification according to the type of fuel used by the boiler (gas, solid fuel, electric), are divided according to the following parameters:

  • according to the method of circulation of the coolant - natural / forced;
  • according to the presence of excess pressure - open/closed (non-pressure/pressure);
  • by type of wiring circuits - horizontal / vertical, one-pipe / two-pipe, upper / lower, serial / collector (beam).

Let us consider in more detail the listed layouts of heating equipment in relation to two-story residential buildings.

Natural, forced, combined circulation

Most modern heating schemes use circulation pumps for forced transportation of the coolant in a closed circuit. This allows:

  • quickly and evenly heat radiators on both floors of the building;
  • maintain a small temperature difference between supply and return;
  • create a hydraulic head of 5-10 m or more (depending on the power circulation pump).

The disadvantage of the pressure circuit is its energy dependence. During prolonged power outages, heating requires alternative source power supply.

Heating scheme with forced circulation two-story house

Natural (gravitational) circulation of the coolant is still used in heating circuits two-storey houses with basements or basements. It is characterized by the installation of the boiler at the lowest level of the building. The hot coolant is supplied to the accelerating collector - a vertical pipe. It ends at its highest point expansion tank. The coolant flows through the system due to the difference in density between cold and hot liquids.

If the natural hydraulic head is not enough, then the circulation of the coolant is provided through the use of a combined scheme. In this case, the heat pump (a fairly low-power unit) does not crash into a break in the coolant supply line, but in parallel with it. A valve or a ball check valve. During the initial start-up and / or intensive use of heating, the coolant overtakes the circulation pump through the system. If there is a power failure (the pump is turned off), the system is automatically (through the check valve) or forcibly (through the bypass valve) is switched to the gravity circulation mode.


The location of the main elements of the heating system according to the gravitational scheme of the movement of the coolant in two-story house

Open and closed circuits

Its main advantage is the simplicity of tying the boiler. Open, often gravitational wiring, equipped with an atmospheric expansion tank (it also acts as an air vent and safety valve). The hydrostatic pressure in the open circuit is equal to the distance from the water mirror in the tank to the lowest point - the boiler return.

The closed layout is characterized overpressure, therefore it is completed with a membrane broad tank. At the same time, if there are no leaks at the joints of its elements, then renewal of the coolant is practically not required. This serves as a good prevention of the formation of scale deposits, which reduces the heat transfer efficiency and increases the hydraulic resistance of the circuits.

Horizontal and vertical systems

Horizontal wiring is used not only in one-story (single-level) structures. It is applied as component vertical, in the wiring diagram for heating a private house on 2 floors. For example, a riser extending from the basement or ground floor to the attic, is a vertical wiring, and the heating radiators connected to it located on the floors are horizontal.


Horizontal and vertical (two-pipe) connection scheme

Schemes of the upper and lower connection of the circuits

They belong to two-pipe heating systems. At the top supply, the hot coolant pipe is led to the attic of a two-story house, then from there it is divided into vertical and horizontal risers. The return is laid in the basement. To activate the heating, it is enough to open the shut-off valves on both lines and bleed the air through a single upper air vent.

In the case of a lower coolant supply, the supply and return lines are laid in basement where vertical risers are connected to them. When you start heating, you have to bleed air from each of them.

Important! From the point of view of heating efficiency, there is no particular difference for a two-story house between the upper and lower wiring. However, the first is easier to activate, the second - to configure.

Collector (parallel) and serial circuits

Collector

consistent

ADVANTAGES

The temperature of each radiator is controlled independently and from one place

Relatively small pipe footage

The coolant is distributed evenly without throttling

Efficiency of installation

FLAWS

High pipe consumption

Uneven heating of radiators

Concealed piping required

The need to install control valves on each radiator separately

For a two-story residential building with a complex layout, it is more rational to use a collector connection scheme. It contributes to more precise temperature control, as well as energy savings.

One-pipe and two-pipe layout

A single-pipe coolant supply system (Leningradka) is a ring laid along the perimeter of the floor to which heating radiators are connected. Two-pipe heating is characterized by the supply of coolant through one pipe, and its return through the other.

In heating systems for two-story houses, it is most advisable to use two-pipe schemes with forced circulation of the coolant.

Single pipe wiring

Radiators are connected in gap or parallel to the pipeline (according to the bypass scheme). The second option is preferable. It provides the ability to turn off the radiator without stopping the entire system and draining the coolant.

  1. Boiler
  2. Expansion tank open type
  3. Heating radiators
  4. Mayevsky crane for air bleeding
  5. Faucet for draining and filling the system

The effective height of a one-pipe system is up to 30m, which completely covers the needs of a 2-storey building. Nevertheless, a number of technical and operational difficulties are known for it:

  1. In a 2-storey house, several single-pipe circuits are used for high-quality and uniform heating of the premises. Such a scheme requires particularly precise coordination of the hydrodynamic characteristics of all pipelines. Otherwise, the coolant will go only through one of the circuits, which has a lower hydrodynamic resistance.
  2. The low speed of the coolant leads to its hypothermia, which negatively affects the combustion chamber of the boiler.
  3. Even with special fittings installed on each of the batteries, it is difficult to regulate the temperature in a separate room. When changing the thermal settings of one radiator, the hydrodynamic resistance is completely violated, and hence the efficiency of the entire system.

Two-pipe

There are two types of two-pipe system (fig. below):

  1. Dead-end circuit (supply and return flow in opposite directions). A significant drawback of the dead-end circuit is the uneven heating of the radiators. Closer to the boiler, they will be noticeably hotter. In practice, this problem is solved by installing needle chokes or thermal heads on radiators. They allow you to adjust the flow of coolant in manual or semi-automatic mode, respectively.
  2. Tichelman's loop (supply and return flow in the same direction). The contour is formed in such a way that parallel loops are formed. They are characterized by the same lengths and similar hydraulic resistance parameters. As a result, the temperature of all radiators has the same values ​​without the use of corrective equipment.

The project of the heating system of a private two-story house according to the Tichelman scheme provides for the connection of radiators in all rooms to one loop, and not to several rings for each floor, as in a single-pipe scheme.

Features of the Tichelman scheme:

  • The use of more radiators than in a single-pipe scheme;
  • Installation in buildings with a complex layout;
  • There is no need for forced balancing of circuits, the purchase and installation of expensive adjustment devices;
  • All rooms are heated simultaneously and evenly;
  • Ease of maintenance;
  • The absence of sudden temperature changes contributes to the durability of heating communications and equipment.

The main disadvantage of the Tichelman loops is a slight increase in the cost of installation caused by the lengthening of the pipelines.

Technical features of building a heating system

In practice, for two-story houses, the “clean” Tichelman scheme is rarely used. More often, the arrangement of a two-pipe riser connecting the floors is used, from which loops are already bred to each floor. Such a scheme requires a tap into the supply line of a balancing valve for each circuit.

The circulation pump is recommended to be installed through a parallel tie-in on each floor. The use of a single unit is not recommended, although it is acceptable. The reason is as follows. The coolant in the proposed scheme will not move by gravity, as in the case of an associated two-pipe or one-pipe scheme. And if the only circulation pump fails, the heating system will cease to function.

The main elements of the heating system


  • Boiler. Regardless of whether it is gas, electric or solid fuel, its main indicator is power (kW). You should also pay attention to the number of circuits. Single-circuit are used exclusively for heating, double-circuit still heat water for hot water supply.
  • Expansion tank. For gravity systems of open type, for systems with forced circulation and excess pressure - membrane.
  • Circulation pump - to activate the movement of the coolant in the circuit.
  • Boiler of indirect heating. Uses the temperature of the heat carrier to heat the DHW water.
  • Heating radiators. They are characterized by the material of manufacture (cast iron, steel, bimetal), working pressure, power.
  • Pipes. They are selected according to the size of the section and the material of manufacture - cast iron, steel, copper, polymer.
  • Safety group - an element of the boiler piping, including a pressure gauge, safety and air valve.
  • Comb (distribution manifold of the heating system) - a unit for uniform distribution of the coolant throughout the system. It can be additionally equipped with thermometers, control and shut-off valves.
  • Hydroarrow - a device for balancing the temperature of the coolant.

Independent calculation of the heating scheme

To calculate the scheme, it is necessary to collect the following initial data:

  • Dimensions of all interior spaces;
  • Overall, external dimensions of the structure;
  • Dimensions of door and window openings;
  • Region - average temperature in winter;
  • Required indoor temperature;
  • Positioning of the cottage on the cardinal points;
  • Height and material of construction of external walls;
  • Type and thickness of insulation on walls, roofs, in the basement.

Ultimately, at the stage of purchasing equipment and materials, you will mainly need to know the capacity of the boiler and radiators, based on the calculations of the heat loss of the building, as well as a number of hydraulic parameters for selecting a pump, expansion tank and pipelines.

A properly equipped heating system guarantees the comfort of any home. Particularly careful planning is required for the heating scheme of a two-story house, because it needs to raise the water in the pipes to an additional height.

A water (CO) residential building with two floors is understood as a complex of elements, including pipelines, a boiler, fittings, temperature control sensors and other components. If they are properly selected and installed, the operating costs of heating a home can be significantly reduced and at the same time enjoy a truly comfortable microclimate.

Water heating system of a 2-storey residential building

The modern heating system of a two-story house can be of different types:

  • two- and one-pipe;
  • with top and bottom wiring;
  • with natural circulation and with forced;
  • with horizontal and vertical risers;
  • with a main option for moving the coolant and with a dead end.

Heating with the main option for moving the coolant

In each specific case, the owner of the cottage selects the most efficient CO, which maintains the desired temperature in the dwelling for a certain time, has a simple, functional and convenient control, and makes it possible to equip the "warm floor" system.

The optimal heating option is recognized when all the equipment that makes up the heating system of a two-story house operates in automatic mode.

Let's talk about which CO is best to put in a cottage with two floors.

The simplest is considered to be the SO called "Leningradka". It was very popular in Soviet times due to the fact that it made the owner of a country cottage completely independent of the central heating system. "Leningradka" is an economical single-pipe heating scheme that is easy to do with your own hands. Such a CO works with and with electric, with brick ovens, where peat briquettes, firewood, coal are loaded.

SO "Leningradka" for a private house

"Leningradka" makes it possible to halve the number of pipes needed to organize housing heating, compared with a two-pipe system. Its other advantages include:

  • low labor intensity of installation (as it was said, everything can be done with your own hands) and its “budget”;
  • the possibility of simple repair during operation;
  • preservation elegant interior in the house (the fewer pipes, the more inconspicuous they are in the room);
  • the possibility of installing the "warm floor" system (subject to certain conditions) and installation under doorways"main" pipe (supplying coolant for steam heating).

"Leningradka" can be "hidden" under the floor, it is easy to carry out above it, the installation of pipes for water heating can be done both vertically and horizontally. It would seem - better system can not found. Unfortunately, everything is not so rosy. Firstly, "Leningradka" is more suitable for one-story buildings. Heating a two-story house with its help is associated with a number of serious difficulties, which, however, if desired, can be solved with your own hands at a relatively low cost. Secondly, "Leningradka" with horizontal mounting does not allow to make a "warm floor".

Installation of pipes for water heating

The described single-pipe CO also requires the use of welding equipment and a mandatory check (very complicated and lengthy) of the tightness of the obtained welded joints, increasing the pressure inside the system. Many consider its main drawback to be that heat transfer from radiators standing in different rooms, is uneven. For these reasons, the two-pipe CO is many times better than Leningradka.

Such a heating scheme for a two-story house is devoid of most of the "cons" that a single-pipe design has. True, its installation requires more pipes and other materials. But organization quality heating a private building is undoubtedly more important.

The two-pipe system operates according to the following scheme: the coolant goes up along one line, and returns along the other. To perform such a scheme with your own hands, it is allowed to use any pipes and types of heating batteries. Radiators are connected in different ways. If the pipeline is “hidden” under the floor or both pipes of the line are located under the battery, the return line and the coolant itself are connected to the lower radiator pipes.

Radiator connection diagram

The heat transfer efficiency of the heating elements in this case may not be very high, since the upper section of the battery does not always warm up. It is not recommended to use such a scheme for connecting water heating pipes if cast iron radiators are installed. It is better in this situation to use more modern panel batteries.

The second way - the return is connected from below, and the coolant - from above (on one side). With this method of connection, two-pipe wiring functions much more efficiently. But it is not suitable for batteries with a large number (over 15) of sections - heat loss in the presence of 16 or more sections becomes critical.

2-pipe connections

The most popular are projects for heating a private dwelling on two floors, which use a cross (diagonal) method of connecting pipes with your own hands:

  • on one side (top), a coolant is suitable for the radiator;
  • the return is connected on the other side from below.

Two-pipe wiring in a private house allows you to overlap CO in one of its sections at any time. At the same time, the remaining rooms in the cottage continue to be heated in the same volume. It is desirable that the two-pipe system be made with forced rather than natural circulation (EC) of hot water. We will discuss the differences between the types of circulation further.

The difference between these two types of circulation lies in the way water moves through the CO. For implementation forced scheme it is necessary to install special equipment, in particular a circulation pump, there is no such need for a natural one.

EC is characterized by a number of advantages:

  • absence of noise and vibration during operation of the system;
  • elementary installation and maintenance;
  • long service life.

Installation of a natural circulation system

At the same time, CO with natural circulation are started rather slowly, the water in the pipes of such systems can freeze when sub-zero temperatures on the street. Another disadvantage is the need to install large pipes (they are more expensive and more difficult to install).

Now such systems are rarely used. Users prefer a more modern and efficient heating scheme. It is a forced circulation CO with the following important advantages:

  • the possibility of building a wiring of any length in a private house;
  • independence of the quality of heating from the indicators of the temperature of the coolant;
  • simple adjustment of operating modes.

CO with forced circulation

Versions with forced circulation hot water goes through the pipes due to the operation of pumping equipment. The water is coming from the boiler in which it is heated, under the action of a special pump (it is called a circulation pump).

On each radiator with such a heating scheme, Mayevsky valves and taps are installed. The first ones make it possible to choose the heating temperature of a particular battery. Valves can be automatic or manual. And the Mayevsky crane allows you to remove unnecessary air from the system.

Experts advise to mount in two-storey cottages CO with double-circuit boiler and forced circulation. Then it will be very easy for you to make a “warm floor” in the house, install heated towel rails and always control the work of CO, setting for yourself the most comfortable temperature.

The growing popularity of such a heating scheme for private buildings is due to the convenience of its management and operation. A collector one- or two-pipe CO is characterized by an independent coolant supply to each radiator installed in the cottage. Due to this, you can, if necessary, completely turn off any battery or lower (increase) the temperature of the water in it. At the same time, in other rooms, the radiators will work in the same modes.

Collector independent supply

The collector system has the following scheme:

  • on the risers of the first and second floors of a residential building, return and supply manifolds are installed;
  • the return and supply pipelines are connected to the batteries on the floors (they are placed in the wall or “hidden” under the floor);
  • collectors and radiators must be equipped with automatic air vents or Mayevsky taps.

Air vent to manifold

This layout is ideal for creating a "warm floor" system. In some cases (relative to small area cottage) collector steam heating is mounted without radiators. In fact, the "warm floor" replaces the pile of batteries. This reduces the cost of installing a home heating system.

A prerequisite for comfort for every home in our country is the availability of reliable and economical system heating. In the current environment, most consumers use gas boilers, since this type of fuel is one of the most affordable and convenient to use.

At the same time, it is important to take into account the nuances associated with the main distribution of the coolant throughout the house. One of the most popular and in demand is the one-pipe heating system of a two-story house, the scheme of which can also be used in buildings with a higher number of storeys.

Design features

This type of heating does not use in its design the traditional division of branches into supply (removing the coolant from the heat generator) and return (returning the cooled liquid to the boiler). The division according to this scheme is only conditional, as a rule, half of the line after the boiler is taken by "supply", and then - "return".

The traditional scheme of a single-pipe heating system for a two-story house includes the following elements:

  • Body generator (boiler) providing energy transfer to the coolant (liquid in the system). The role of the first can be gas, electric or even solid fuel boilers. Liquid - prepared soft water or antifreeze.
  • Heating consumers - sections of radiators. material for different models serves cast iron, steel, aluminum.
  • An expansion tank that compensates for pressure drops within the system. For open systems an open tank design is selected, and for closed systems- membrane containers.
  • Components of a drawbridge. The kit includes a sufficient number of pipes, valves, filters, taps and other valves.

The principle of operation of this heating system for a 2-storey building (schemes are available on the website) does not depend on the type of boiler used.

Distinctive characteristics

The main feature that distinguishes single-pipe wiring from diversity two-pipe schemes the heating system of a two-story house is the lack of a return. In fact, all consumers are mounted on a single main loop.

The division of single-pipe circuits is also provided for by design into vertical and horizontal circuits. In the traditional heating scheme of a 2-storey building with one pipe, radiator regulators are used, among other elements, Ball Valves, thermostatic valves, etc. One of the bonuses is the ability to install main pipes under the floor. In this case, the best aesthetic component is provided.

Also, the installation of single-pipe wiring, in contrast to the two-pipe heating system of a two-story house, is a little easier to carry out. At the same time, in the case of sheltering pipes under the floor, it will be possible to reduce heat losses.

Cons of single-pipe water heating systems

The fundamental difference between a single-pipe circuit and a two-pipe one lies in the way the radiators are connected in the system - it is sequential. This eliminates the possibility of controlling the heat transfer intensity of each of them separately, without reducing the temperature in subsequent ones in the circuit. That is, if it is very hot in one room (not the last), then by lowering the temperature on the battery in this particular room, the temperature in all the others is thereby reduced.

The second more than significant drawback is the increased pressure of the coolant so that the system can work efficiently. If we are talking about one house, such a drawback is not even noticeable with a good circulation pump, but in centralized boiler rooms, an increase in pump power entails an increase in operating costs, an intense impact on the main line, the risk of damage and leaks, etc. All this requires constant monitoring of the water in the system and its pumping. This, in turn, leads to air concentration and an increase in air pockets.

The third minus is the vertical wiring, in which expansion tank always set at the highest point. If this is a private household, an attic may well be used to accommodate it, but it is advisable to insulate the tank to prevent it from freezing. IN apartment buildings need to be done whole line measures not only for insulation, but also for maintaining the temperature at approximately the same level from the upper to the lower floors, which is very problematic. On the top floor, residents open the windows all winter, while the lower ones have to use fireplaces, radiators and other tricks to keep warm.

Since the loss of thermal energy to the lower floors exceeds 50%, it is recommended to install special “plugs” on each floor and increase the number of radiator sections on the lower floors.

The general scheme, taking into account all the elements of the strapping

Vertical wiring

Before you properly make heating in a two-story house, you need to choose the most convenient type wiring. Often for such buildings they prefer to select vertical type. In this case, the heated water rises through the riser, and then it is distributed to the heating radiators.

  • In most cases, the movement is carried out in a natural way, despite the fact that the heated mass of water moves upward due to its physical properties.
  • From the upper point, the coolant is moved through the pipes due to the slope of several degrees formed during installation.
  • The return occurs when the lowest point of the system is reached, in which the boiler is usually located.

This heating scheme for a 2-storey private house is absolutely independent of the availability of electricity. Although the coolant does not move fast enough through the pipes, there is a saving on the use of electricity.

As a disadvantage, it is noted that pipes located under a slope are unlikely to be hidden under the floor.

Horizontal wiring

This type does not need a vertical riser. The main line can be hidden under the floor or be above its level. If you are installing a pipeline for heating a 2-storey private house with your own hands with the possibility of hiding under the floor, then you need to take care of reducing heat losses.

To do this, the pipes are covered in thermal insulation casings. If a circulation pump is not provided in the line, then the pipeline should also be laid at a slight slope.

Optimum installation of radiator sections

To connect heating radiators, experts suggest using one of the popular methods:

Flow connection

The coolant, moving along the line, enters the radiator through the upper hole, and then, having given up part of the thermal energy, is removed through the lower pipe in the radiator. It is not technically possible to make any adjustments related to temperature or feed rate in such systems. This option connection is relevant for relatively small heated areas.

With lock areas

This scheme of a single-pipe heating system for a two-story house implies the presence of lock sections of the pipeline. Shut-off valves it is usually installed in front of the radiator inlet, as well as on the built-in section of the line connecting the entry and exit points of the radiator. This wiring element is called a bypass. This solution allows you to divide the coolant into two streams. One part of it passes through the radiator, and the second goes through the bypass. Thus, it is possible to adjust the temperature in each of the radiator units.

System installation algorithm

For correct and effective work it is necessary, according to the existing project of the heating system, to perform a competent installation of all its elements. In this case, you must follow the sequence:

  • installation of the boiler permanent place;
  • wall decoration under radiators;
  • installation of sections with radiators at an angle;
  • installation of the main wiring with the designation of the radiator tie-in;
  • tie-in radiators on labels.

Installation work should be carried out sequentially from the first sections located closer to the pipe outlet from the boiler to the last - mounted on the conditional part of the "return".

A reverse slope should not be allowed, as this leads to airing the system.

Many residents of megacities dream of settling in country house in the fresh air, forgetting about the gassed city streets. But the house should be warm and cozy, and living conditions in it should bring only positive emotions to its residents. For this you need to do right choice heating system, then make a heating project for a two-story house.

A heating project for a two-story house drawn up by professionals (this layout of suburban real estate is most common) allows you to achieve efficient heat supply and save money in the process of arranging heating.

Features of the heating structure in a two-story house

When heating projects for a private two-story house are being worked out, the main feature of the heat supply structure is the need to provide for the rise of the coolant to a certain height.

The heating project for a two-story house involves the use of such basic devices and elements:

  • heating boiler;
  • pipelines;
  • heating radiators;
  • various sensors;
  • fitting;
  • regulators.
Only if you choose the right equipment for the heat supply design, it is possible to achieve a clear functioning of the heating system for a house 2 floors high. Professional installation helps to ensure a comfortable microclimate in all rooms, reduce heating costs, regardless of the type of fuel used.

Possible heating projects

There are several options for designing and installing heating systems in a two-story house:

Such a heating project country house provides for the installation of the following equipment and components:

  • heating unit;
  • collector;
  • pipelines;
  • radiators;
  • expansion tank.
The coolant moves through the heating structure with the help of a working circulation pump, which allows for uniform and efficient delivery of heat to all rooms (read also: ""). In the heating scheme of a 2-storey house, in this case, a heat unit operating on different fuels can be involved. It can be, among other things, solid or gaseous. This does not exclude the use of alternative energy sources, including heat pumps.

Heating schemes for two-story houses

The project of the heating system of a country house with a height of two floors can be implemented according to different schemes heat supply, starting with a collector option and ending with a two-pipe design.
By the way, it should be recalled that in a single-pipe system with a series connection of batteries, it is not possible to regulate or block one of the radiators, and therefore it is used less often, giving preference to the two-pipe version. Such a heat supply scheme for a two-story building is considered universal and practical.

The structural solution of such systems provides for the connection of two pipes to each radiator, one of which supplies and the second removes the coolant. Experts advise mounting a control valve in front of each battery to achieve the greatest efficiency.

Heating project for a residential building, which provides for the arrangement collector system heating, will cost a large amount of money during its implementation compared to the creation of a one- or two-pipe heat supply design. The advantage of such a heating scheme is that the installation of pipelines is carried out in a hidden way, which does not affect the interior of the premises. As you can see in the photo, a two-story house with a collector heating system looks stylish.

Features of the collector heating system

A feature of the collector heating system, as an example of a heating project according to such a scheme shows, is the installation of a heating boiler on the first floor, and an expansion tank on the second. Pipelines are placed directly under flooring, ceiling or window sills.

The efficiency and performance of the collector heating system is ensured by the installation of a control valve on each radiator. This is very practical, because as a result you can create your own comfortable microclimate in each room.

Selection of pipelines

When the design is done internal systems heating in a two-story house, use different types pipes. If necessary, achieve a high degree of heat transfer and good level thermal conductivity choice should be copper pipes. Such pipelines are resistant to corrosion processes, able to withstand high temperature and increased pressure.
If you want to choose a budget option for a two-story house, then you can stop at the metal plastic pipes wires. The cost of such pipes is more affordable than copper products. Accordingly, the quality is different. On inside plastic pipes do not collect deposits, no plaque is formed as a result of the use of a liquid heat carrier, which means that the efficiency of the heating structure does not suffer.

Experts advise to install an expansion tank on the heating system without fail, which will allow the structure to remain intact. When a heating project is drawn up for a country cottage with two floors, one must not forget that the scheme must be durable. Professionals, when designing internal heating systems in private houses, prefer the installation of productive systems that will last at least 20 years without serious breakdowns.

If you choose the right heating system for suburban households, you can get the following benefits:

  • minimal heat loss at maximum efficiency;
  • significant savings in funds spent on heat supply due to lower fuel consumption and increased heat transfer radiators and pipelines;
  • reliable functioning of the structure.

Comfortable living in a private two-story house depends entirely on the complex of communications, among which one of the main places is occupied by the heating network. Is not it? It is she who is responsible for maintaining optimal temperature regime and the safety of the building itself. Agree, the temperature in the room is one of the main components providing a comfortable stay.

It depends on the choice of a heat source and its correct connection whether you can maintain the temperature necessary for living. Here we will help you understand how the heating system of a two-story house functions, and which wiring schemes are recognized as the most effective.

Here you will find information about the types of coolants, methods and features of their connection. For clarity, the material is accompanied by connection diagrams, as well as videos that will help expand knowledge about the heating systems of private houses.

It is quite difficult to independently select the equipment necessary for assembling a heating system. To do this, you need to have special engineering knowledge, be able to navigate in detailed calculations and installation nuances.

If you have the appropriate education or you already have experience in distributing heating in a two-story house, you can choose the option heating scheme independently by using useful information and developed skills.

Choice of thermal energy source

The heart of the heating network is a heat generator that heats the coolant up to optimal temperature and, if its technical capabilities allow, maintains the specified parameters around the clock.
