Cast Iron Radiator Restoration
Restoration & Electric conversion
ECORAD offers two approaches to respond effectively to your challenge.
Restoration
Electric conversion
Complete cast iron radiator restoration. To update the central water and steam system.
Restored antique cast iron radiators deliver optimal performance by stripping away layers of paint and cleaning the interior, both of which improve radiant heat transfer.
- Preserves the aesthetic value and the heritage of the heating system already in place.
- Allows an optimal integration to the central water or steam heating system of the building being restored.
- Optimizes the current system by possible addition, replacement or resizing of radiators.
- Limits restoration costs by reusing original radiators.
- Tangibly and measurably reduces energy consumption.
- Provides complete peace of mind by reducing the risk of damage associated with aging equipment and by offering an eco-friendly solution.
Unique Restoration Process
The restoration process we use to restore our original cast iron radiators has evolved over 15 years of research and development.
1
Paint Stripping
- Shot peening process
- Lead paint contaminants management
2
Disassembly
- Each radiator is disassembled into individual sections
- Worn joining nipples and gaskets are removed
3
Internal Cleaning
- Internal water pressure washing
- Resurfacing of the bearing surfaces of the seals
4
Reassembly
- Meticulously reassembled, section by section
- Repair, remove or replace faulty sections
- Using new joining nipples and fiber gaskets
5
Leak Test
- Pressure and immersion testing
6
Painting
- Spray acrylic enamel paint
7
Packaging
- Wrapped in cardboard and plastic
Management system for electrified Radiators
Combine the electric converted cast iron radiators with a management system to optimize the benefits.
ECORAD offers two managment options:
Optimum Intelligent System OE13
Manual Power Control System ME13
The Optimum OE13 is an intelligent management system for electrified ECORAD radiators.
This system combined with the expertise of ECORAD has the ability to maximize the inertia properties of cast iron radiators to consume the least amount of energy possible.
Available for all types of buildings regardless of heating energy installed. Programmable with user friendly software, allowing calendar and/or time schedules, the configuration and utilization is via an independent touch screen, a computer locally or remotely through the internet.
The internet option allows users via a password, to verify, change the settings and receive alerts by email. Free technical support for the first 12 months from the start.
Avantages
- Programmation considers outside temperature and usage of each area
- Power setpoint is adjustable
- Alerts are configurable
- Self-governing once programmed
- Stores data for up to four years
- Printable tables or graphs of history
- Startup is performed by an ECORAD technician
- Installation and connection must be done by a qualified electrician
