How to calculate the heating system

Calculation of the heating system is a laborious andat the same time an interesting process that will become an integral part of the creation and maintenance of home comfort. Individual heating system is now particularly popular and is the best option for installation in a private house.

Calculation of the heating system of the house begins,of course, with the choice of the generator of thermal energy. It is his power that will be taken into account first. The source of heat in the domestic water heating system, most likely, will serve as a boiler. These instruments are usually classified into electric, liquid fuel, solid fuel, as well as gas and combined.

Naturally, the power of the selected boilerwill depend on the final result and then, whether the heating system has enough energy to warm up the room well to a comfortable temperature in the cold season. At the same time, when calculating the heating system, it is impossible to stop at boilers with excessive capacity, because the over-expenditure of energy will result in unnecessary financial costs. Thus, in order to rationally spend resources and achieve the desired result, you need to follow the advice of specialists. They note that the calculation of the heating system of a private house should begin with a choice of boiler output. First you need to calculate the following parameters:

• the size of the living area that will need to be heated;
• Specific heat source power per 10 cubic meters of living space.

The boiler's specific power is selected in dependencefrom the climatic features of the area in which the heated premises are located. For example, for Moscow Region it is expedient to select a generator with a capacity of up to one and a half kilowatts, and for the southern regions it will be enough 0.9 kilowatts.

The final power of the boiler for the house is calculatedby multiplying the area of ​​the room by the specific power. Then the obtained value must be divided by 10. Most often, the value of the specific power of the boiler is taken as one, which is the average value. This approach will make the calculation of the heating system as convenient as possible.

Of course, such calculations are performed on the basis ofaverage weather conditions, which almost never remain constant and vary depending on the season. Differently affecting the temperature in the house, wind or solar radiation make it necessary to constantly adjust the intensity of the heating equipment.

Thus, the calculation of the heating system will beimplies and regulation - qualitative or quantitative. A qualitative change is characterized by the regulation of the coolant itself, and the quantitative change is effected by changing the volume of liquid supplied to the heating system.

These regulatory processes can beautomated. They will occur depending on external weather conditions or in case of deviation from the norm - a pre-selected room air temperature.
