Bimetallic radiator "Rifar": customer reviews. Radiators "Rifar": prices

Those who want to buy high-quality bimetal batteries for their apartment or house, it is necessary to pay attention to the domestic product manufactured using innovative technologies - the Rifar radiator. Reviews about this equipment from consumers who have already tried it, are mostly positive. In addition, the batteries of this brand are not too expensive.

Company "Rifar"

The Russian firm Rifar started its activity not so long ago - in 2002. However, at the moment its products are very popular among consumers. The quality of the batteries of this brand is almost in no way inferior to the products of famous Western manufacturers. Moreover, their development was carried out taking into account the harsh Russian climate and the peculiarities of domestic heating systems. To use the batteries "Rifar", customer reviews confirm their reliability, they can both in flats of high-rise buildings, and in private houses.

At the moment, the company produces two types of heating radiators: aluminum and bimetallic. Both types of products are of excellent quality. Especially popular among our compatriots are bimetallic radiators "Rifar Monolith", the reviews of which, as very convenient to use and reliable, are particularly eloquent.

The production complex of the company Rifar is located in the city of Gaia, in the north-east of the Orenburg region.

How are radiators made Rifar

The development of this product involved well-known Russian scientists, designers and designers, as well as specialists from the Polytechnic University of Milan. "Rifar" batteries are produced on the most modern equipment of famous Italian, Swedish, Japanese and German brands. A full autonomous cycle reduces the risk of marriage associated with the human factor to zero.

Control of aluminum smelting is carried out in laboratory conditions. Each product released from the conveyor passes a hydraulic leak test at a pressure of 30 bar. The last parameter exceeds the working pressure in standard heating systems by 5 times. At the final stage, a pneumatic test is also carried out. "Rifar" gives to its products a guarantee of 10 years. In fact, these radiators can last for 25 years or more.

The finished product is painted in an electrostatic field at high temperatures. The quality of the resulting coating is verified by the method of lattice incisions. At the moment, the batteries are produced "Rifar", reviews about the design of which are also very good, of different colors. However, white models are the most popular among the population.

General overview of bimetallic batteries "Rifar"

Radiators of this brand are characterized by the following performance characteristics:

• The operating pressure of the coolant in the system is 20 atm.
• The maximum allowable - 100 atm.
• The test pressure is 150 atm.
• The maximum permissible temperature of the coolant is 135 g.
• The value of Ph of water is 7-8.3.
• The heat transfer of one section is from 200 W.

Simplicity of installation is another undeniable advantage of such equipment as the Rifar radiator. Reviews of home craftsmen who collect heating systems and install batteries on their own, this brand is also very good. These radiators are fully adapted to Russian conditions and equipped with standard connection points. Therefore, it is actually very easy to install them.

Among other things, Rifar batteries are completely insensitive to the effects of chemically aggressive substances, very often present in the coolant of domestic systems.

Bimetal radiators Rifar heating: customer reviews

As has been repeatedly mentioned, the opinion about this equipment among Russians was basically positive. In most cases, satisfied owners of batteries of this firm are advised to buy the "Rifar Monolith" models. Reviews about them are better than about other types of products of this manufacturer. In most cases, praise the value for money.

However, all radiators of this brand can sometimes be met and not too flattering statements. The censure is mainly the quality of threading on the input and output. In addition, you can often hear the view that in fact, "Rifar" - not quite bimetallic radiators. But at the same time, many believe that it is better to buy such an inexpensive model. After all, completely bimetallic batteries are much more expensive. Reliability of "Rifar" for Russian conditions is quite enough.

What are the modifications

At the moment, Rifar produces the following types of radiators:

• Monolit;
• Forza;
• Base;
• ALF;
• FLEX;
• ALUM.

The most popular with the consumer is the bimetallic model "Monolith" and Base. About what characteristics they are different, let's talk further.

Radiators "Monolith"

The popularity of this modification is determined, first of all, by its increased reliability and versatility. At the moment, the bimetallic radiators "Rifar Monolith", which are in fact very good reviews, are sold best and are a worthy replacement for more expensive brands. For example, the same Global. When using "Rifar Monolith" it is possible to pour not only water, but also antifreeze into the heating system.

The main distinguishing feature of the model is the lack of prefabricated parts. As you can judge by name, these batteries represent a single monolith. Of course, this reduces the risk of leaks to a minimum. If desired, you can buy a radiator, consisting of 4 - 14 sections. In addition, Monoliths are produced with a distance between the axes of 350 and 500 mm. The second variety is the most popular and can be used in heating systems of very cold rooms.

Radiators Base

This variety is represented on the market by three models: B-200, B-350 and B-500. The first type of radiators "Rifar" (reviews about it are also quite positive) differs from the closed surface of the section. So, for example, the model B-200 is very suitable for installation with "French" windows. The B-500 radiators are currently the most popular. Externally, this model is similar to the well-known Sira batteries.

Cost

So, the radiator "Rifar", reviews of which are mostly positive, their satisfied owners recommend to buy everything. Especially since the price of batteries of this brand is not too great. Bimetallic models cost a little more than aluminum. For example, one section "Rifar Monolith" will cost about 812 rubles. Thus, the popular model of 500 of the eight sections will cost about 6500 rubles. As you can see, the equipment of a house or apartment with such batteries is not too expensive. The price for the model B-500 from 6 sections can reach 3700 rubles.

Advantages and disadvantages of bimetal radiators

As already mentioned, the company Rifar produces at the moment only two main types of batteries. At the same time, bimetallic ones are most popular. To buy a radiator "Rifar" (reviews about which, as you can see, are not bad) means to get reliable and durable equipment. Next, we propose to understand why bimetallic models are worthy of attention both of owners of city apartments and private houses.

They are named so, because at their manufacture it is used at once two metals - steel and aluminum. Therefore, they serve for a long time. The fact is that aluminum very badly tolerates contact with chemically aggressive substances, available in any coolant. This reduces the life of models made of this metal. In this case, the heat transfer from aluminum is much greater than that of steel. And, consequently, the batteries made from it have the best efficiency. However, steel reacts much less to chemicals in the coolant, so radiators out of it last longer. Thus, bimetal batteries combine the best qualities of both types. Pipes directly in contact with water, they are made of steel. The plates of the sections are made of aluminum. This greatly increases battery life. Bimetallic radiators "Rifar Monolith" are even more durable. Reviews about them are good also because they do not have prefabricated parts. That is, when they are made, welding is used. There is nowhere to drain the heat carrier from them. However, due to the presence of a core of steel, the heat transfer in bimetal batteries is usually about one-fifth less than that of aluminum batteries.

We have discussed the advantages and disadvantages of the Rifar heating radiators. "Monolith", the reviews say it is the most popular model of this company. However, other batteries have very good performance characteristics. So to think about purchasing inexpensive radiators of this brand for your home is definitely worth it.
