Autonomous gas heating of the house on cylinders of liquefied gas is organized if it is not possible to bring natural gas to the house. In addition to the premises, with the help of cylinders it is possible to heat water. Gas is pumped into cylinders under high pressure in a liquefied state, which explains the high efficiency. The transition from a liquid state to a gas takes seconds. Such gas heating system at home more autonomous than natural gas heating. After all, cylinders can be delivered anywhere, even very distant.
Gas cylinder heating circuit
For heating a private house with gas cylinders, it is best to choose gas convectors. These devices are easy to install, do not require water supply, so there is no danger of pipe freezing in winter.
In addition, convectors have a high efficiency. The number of convectors in the gas heating scheme of a private house depends on their capacity, area and number of rooms in the house.
To heat 18 sq. meters of area suitable convector capacity of 2 - 2.5 kilowatts. With a room of 45 - 50 meters, equipment with a capacity of 5 kilowatts will cope. For autonomous gas heating at home only in the off-season the most low-power convector is suitable.
Also included in the gas heating scheme of the house:
- Several gas cylinders (it is better to choose 50-liter);
- Gearbox;
- Pipes for supplying gas from cylinders to convectors;
- Safe for cylinders.
An individual gas heating scheme for a private house can be ordered by a heating engineer.
The most reliable and safe cylinders are equipped with a reducer on the thread and valve. If in winter the gas tanks will be on the street, you should purchase gearboxes from foreign manufacturers that guarantee operation up to -25 degrees.
Some owners keep cylinders inside the house. However, they take up a lot of space, sometimes they miss the smell of gas. Therefore, on the street, it is necessary to equip a metal (or from other water-impervious material) cabinet. Some owners of autonomous gas heating at home, insulate the cabinet with foam from the inside.
Gas is carried by steel (or special plastic reinforced) pipes 3/4 or 1/2 inch. From the cylinders to the convector, a solid pipe should go. A pipe with a convector can be connected with a special gas hose, but at the end of the metal pipe you should definitely install a valve.
How much is gas heating at home
The question of how much gas heating costs at home arises immediately. The price of heating a private house with gas cylinders is much lower than the installation of other types of equipment. All equipment, including cylinders, pipes, boiler and gearbox will cost up to 60 thousand rubles. Refueling is not a problem if specialized cars that change cylinders arrive in the settlements.
Now let's calculate how much gas heating costs at home and what is the price of the spent coolant. We assume that, on average, for heating 130 - 140 squares of area, a boiler with a capacity of up to 15 kilowatts will take 1.5 kilograms of gas per hour. With constant round-the-clock work, the consumption is 33.6 kilograms per day. But if the house is normally insulated, and the boiler is correctly configured, consumption decreases three or even four times.
