Installation of a heating system is necessarily accompanied by the need to select its main components. Each element of home heating is important in its own way. Even a seemingly insignificant detail in the design of heating equipment can significantly facilitate, or, conversely, complicate the operation of the entire system. One of the key types of home heating equipment is radiators. If aluminum heating radiators have some limitations in use, then the installation of Rifar bimetal heating radiators is suitable for almost any application conditions.
Today, Rifar sells a wide range of models designed for use in heating systems of various types. Some are used in complexes with minor loads. Each model has its own design and technical characteristics. To learn more about the features of Rifar heating batteries, let's start the review with products from the Monolith series.
Bimetallic radiators Rifar Monolit
The Rifar Monolith line is designed specifically for installation in apartment buildings, as well as other premises that require high demands on the performance characteristics and performance indicators of the heating system. Rifar Monolit radiators are a completely new bimetallic device, only externally similar to the Rifar Base line. The main difference lies in the design features of the radiator. In them, the coolant moves through steel channels, which are combined into a non-separable structure. This feature completely eliminates potentially weak areas that could cause leaks due to water hammer or high pressure in the circuit. In addition, the absence of a nipple connection and completely sealed contact-butt processing of the joints of Rifar Monolit radiators provide:
- Reliable and stable operation with a manufacturer’s warranty of at least 25 years
- Stability of the set temperature due to low thermal inertia
- High corrosion resistance thanks to reinforced steel coolant channels
- Monolithic solid surface without joints between sections
- Compatible with coolants of any quality
- Efficient operation at coolant temperatures up to 135 °C
- Maximum structural strength even at an operating pressure of 150 atm
- Quick, simple installation without additional adapters
Improved section geometry and heat-dissipating surfaces ensure maximum heat transfer in any heating systems. We recommend buying Rifar Monolit for apartments located above the 8th-9th floor because... It is in such apartment buildings that the pressure of the heating system requires enhanced performance characteristics for the batteries. But thanks to the optimized ratio of convective and radiation components of the heat flow, Rifar Monolit radiators can be installed in premises for any purpose, in particular, in medical and preschool institutions.
- Radiators Rifar Monolit 500 – models with a height of 577. The weight of one section is 2 kg, the nominal heat flow is 196 W. The Rifar 500 bimetallic radiator can be used with any type of coolant, including water, steam, oil and antifreeze.
- Radiators Rifar Monolit 350 – models with a height of 415. The weight of one section is 1.5 kg, the nominal heat flow is 134 W. Rifar 350 radiators can be connected using all known schemes, incl. with bottom connection.
Rifar Monolit - reliable radiators that leave no chance for cold air
Heating radiators RIFAR Monolit.
Rifar Monolith branded radiators are characterized by one important feature - an innovative design that expands their technical capabilities. The main properties of the products allow them to cope with various operating conditions, even the most unfavorable ones
Appearance
Externally, Monoliths look exactly the same as aluminum radiator models. The advantage lies within. It is expressed in the following way - the heat carrier moves through channels made of steel. They are welded together in such a way as to form a single coolant flow path. The likelihood of leaks with Rifar Monolit 500 or 350 is reduced to almost zero.
Heat dissipation
As for thermal output, this figure is very high. This is achieved due to the geometry of heat-transmitting surfaces with increased fins. The material of manufacture, aluminum, also increases heat transfer.
Design Features
The design features of heating batteries of this brand provide a large number of other advantages. Which ones? For example, increased service life. The manufacturer provides a guarantee of a quarter of a century.
This fact speaks volumes, since not every company can guarantee such high durability of its products. The channels through which the coolant moves are made of steel tubes and are designed to be highly resistant to corrosion.
Thanks to high-precision processing of welds, there are no joints between radiator sections. Rifar Monolith batteries interact normally with various coolants. Regardless of which heating system (individual or centralized) this product is installed in, it will fully provide the required functionality. Even non-freezing liquids (antifreeze) can be used as a coolant.

Strength
Due to the increased strength of Rifar Monolit connections, they can withstand pressures of up to 100 atmospheres. The test value for this value is slightly higher (150 atmospheres). The maximum temperature at which coolant is supplied is 135 degrees. Quite respectable values when compared with other offers on the domestic market.
Where can it be used?
Thanks to the professionally designed convective and radiant parts, Rifar Monolit radiators can be used in all types of premises - ordinary residential to school and medical. Installation does not require additional purchase of adapters for right-hand or left-hand threads. Standard connections ensure quick installation.
The number of Monolith sections ranges from 4 to 14. The cost largely depends on the type of product. Approximately Rifar Monolit 500 will cost approximately $19.3 per section. The model designated 350 costs a little less – $19. Feel free to round up to $20 or even more, as product prices often exceed those recommended by the manufacturer.
Sectional radiators
Each section of the bimetallic radiator consists of an internal steel part in the form of vertically arranged tubes, and aluminum plates are fixed on top, which provide an attractive appearance and serve as a source of heat transfer. The section is monolithic, the connections of individual segments are carried out by seamless welding using sealing materials. The inside of the steel core is coated with a thin layer of silver, which increases the product's resistance to corrosion and extends its service life. The aluminum body is located in such a way that it transfers heat to the external environment as much as possible, while the design is ergonomic and attractive, so the radiators look good in any interior.
In Rifar sectional radiators, the principle of energy conservation is implemented for the first time; the batteries can be equipped with heat sensors and thermostats, which reduces utility costs and allows you to achieve comfortable temperature conditions in the room.
Radiator characteristics
Bimetallic heating radiators "Rifar" are intended for installation and use both in administrative buildings and in residential premises of houses and apartments. They are designed specifically for the local heating system with a certain pressure and coolant.
- The products are made of two metals - the inside of the coolant tanks is made of steel, and the body is made of aluminum. The case is the “face” of the product and gives the batteries neatness and elegance, since the panels have an enamel coating on top.
- The internal cavities for moving coolant are quite reliable and can easily withstand pressure of 30-40 atmospheres. And aluminum, in itself, is an excellent conductor of heat; when heated by steel parts, it transfers thermal energy well into rooms.
- When operating such radiators in an autonomous system, a large amount of coolant is not required - only 0.2 liters are needed for one section. Therefore, the circuit heats up very quickly, and it is quite possible to save money on heating large rooms. This parameter of batteries can easily be attributed to their positive qualities.
- The steel parts of Rifar radiators can easily withstand temperatures up to 130 degrees.
- Thermal output from each section is 180-200 W.
Radiators Rifar Base and Alp
The Base series is the simplest and most convenient for installation in apartment buildings with a standard connection type. Each section has specified parameters for height, width and depth, on which the overall heat transfer depends. The main advantage of the model is the ability to supplement the heating system with the required number of sections, taking into account climatic conditions, room size and layout features. Variations in center distances from 200 to 500 mm and different section heights allow you to install Base series radiators in any type of window opening. The weight of one section does not exceed 2 kg, so installation and installation are quick and easy.
- The Alp series is an improved model of the basic series of Rifar sectional radiators. A distinctive feature is its shallow depth, which is important when installing a heating radiator under narrow window sills without a niche. The internal structure of each section is similar to the previous line, but the outer part of the housing differs in the arrangement of aluminum surfaces for maximum heat transfer at a shallow depth. The center distance is standard for the Alp line and is 500 mm. Due to its shallow depth, each section weighs less than 1.5 kg, which makes installation easier and expands the possibilities for choosing the type of radiator mounting.
Both series of Rifar sectional radiators work with the same type of coolant, which can be used as technical water with parameters specified in accordance with GOST. The manufacturer's warranty is 10 years, while compliance with operating conditions increases the warranty period for uninterrupted service of the device to 25 years.
Models of Rifar radiators, their disadvantages and advantages
The company has gained a leading position in the market of bimetallic radiators thanks to the constant modernization of equipment and the use of the most modern materials. Rifar radiators are manufactured in accordance with European standards, have an En 442 quality certificate, and they are guaranteed to withstand operating conditions in urban and private heating systems in Russia. Like all technical devices, these devices have their pros and cons, let’s look at them in more detail.
Colored Radiators Rifar
Flaws
Despite the fact that Rifar bimetallic radiators have good consumer performance, they are not without certain disadvantages. The main disadvantage of this company's heating devices is that they are not completely bimetallic. It is believed that full bimetal is much stronger and demonstrates greater heat transfer, but it all depends on the quality of installation and the build quality of the radiator itself.
Another drawback that Rifar batteries have is weak threads. On the forums you can find reviews about the problem and ways to solve it. To be fair, it is worth noting that almost any radiator model has disadvantages, so let’s move on to the advantages.
Advantages
Rifar radiators - technical specifications
The main advantage of Rifar radiators is their affordable price. This parameter is ensured due to the fact that Rifar is a Russian company and practically does not use expensive imported components in its products. The batteries are produced using the technology: “partial bimetal using spot welding,” which also significantly reduces the cost of production.
Rifar radiators - scope of delivery
The company offers its consumers a wide range of batteries for different modes of use, these include:
- models that operate only on a certain type of coolant, for example, only on filtered, soft water;
- Rifar batteries, which work equally well with tap water of any hardness;
- models working with antifreeze and water.
Alp
Bimetallic radiators of this series are distinguished by the smallest section depth - 75 mm. But this indicator does not affect the deterioration of heat transfer. Thanks to this, it is possible to install 14 sections simultaneously, which makes them indispensable when installing under wide window structures.
The center distance is 500 mm, the color according to the RAL palette is 9016 (white). Other technical data is shown in the table:
Rifar Monolit and SUPReMO
New generation Rifar bimetallic radiators with a monolithic design have become a real breakthrough in the field of creating reliable domestically produced heating radiators.
The steel core was first created using flash-butt welding technology, which was patented by the company’s engineers and has no analogues in the world. The solid steel body completely eliminates the possibility of leakage and is capable of withstanding hydraulic shocks in heating networks of over 100 atmospheres. The thickness of the walls of the tubes for the passage of coolant coincides with the thickness of the pipes in Russian systems; this thick layer is coated on the inside with an anti-corrosion compound and makes it possible to fill the system with any type of liquid.
The aluminum casing, which hides the internal structure, looks attractive, has no sharp corners, and thanks to its wide ribs, provides excellent heat transfer and quick heating of the room. Factory painting in several layers using a special heat-resistant material holds up well and does not require additional costs to maintain an attractive appearance.
To save money and maintain a comfortable temperature, monolithic structures are equipped with thermostats and control sensors.
Due to the monolithic structure, this type of Rifar radiator does not provide for additional sections or modifications, but is available with a large number of variations from 4 to 14 fins.
Depending on your preferences, you can choose one of two series of monolithic rulers.
The MONOLIT series is similar to the bimetallic designs of sectional radiators, but this similarity is only external. A durable one-piece steel body is hidden inside, the tubes of the coolant circulation system are located vertically, and the small angle of inclination of the aluminum fins ensures high heat transfer parameters. The complete absence of sharp corners and heat-resistant coating facilitates the maintenance of the radiator, and the ability to choose a lower or upper connection type expands the operating conditions in various networks. Radiators manufactured later than 2011 can work with antifreeze, as indicated in the instructions for the device. Rifar guarantees the preservation of the technical characteristics of the monolithic structure of this series for 25-50 years, depending on the model.- The SUPReMO series is the embodiment of the dream of exquisite design, safety and excellent thermal properties. The aluminum SUPReMO case is a one-piece box, thanks to which the radiator looks attractive and eliminates the possibility of accidental injury. The beveled side surfaces increase heat transfer and allow you to quickly warm up a large room. The inner surface of the steel case is covered with an additional protective layer, which increases resistance to alkaline environments and makes it possible to use coolant oils and antifreeze liquids. SUPReMO radiators are adapted to upper and lower connection types, suitable for left-handed and right-handed heating systems.
All designs are supplied complete with consumables adapted to the specified diameter of the heating pipes. Monolithic radiators are considered the best of all heating devices on the market today, and the reliability of the Rifar company has been proven by many years of successful experience and reviews from satisfied customers.
Main differences and types of bimetallic radiators
Deciding on the choice of heating elements is quite difficult; you need to be guided not only by prices; the main factor in choosing a heating device is the calculation of the required thermal power. Each model has its own technical characteristics, which necessarily indicate power.
There are low-power models designed for small apartments with small rooms. Medium power models are offered for heating apartments, private houses, cottages, offices, municipal buildings (hospitals, schools, etc.), shops. Models with increased power are also produced for heating large areas, warehouses, and industrial premises.
If you are planning to buy a bimetallic radiator for heating a house or apartment, you should not buy units with a power greater than the calculation showed you. The power must fully correspond to the area of the room, this will help to avoid unnecessary costs.
Be sure to pay attention to the operating and pressure testing pressure of the product. First, find out what pressure is in your heating system, and at what pressure the system is tested before the heating season. Experts recommend taking devices with a pressure reserve.
To select a unit, you need to know the diameter of the supply pipe; of course, today there are various adapters, but it is better to do without them in order to increase the reliability of the system and avoid possible leaks.
The technical characteristics of bimetallic radiators are not the only difference. Depending on the modification and series, the equipment differs in dimensions. The required size is determined by the window sill area allocated for installation of the unit; there are models for a narrow window sill area and models whose dimensions reach 2 meters.
Difference between Rifar Base and Monolith radiators
The most important difference between both lines of radiators is their design features. Rifar Base is a collapsible structure consisting of a different number of sections, the number of which depends on the calculated heating power. A monolith is a solid product with a predetermined heat capacity. The first can withstand pressure of hot water or antifreeze up to 30 atmospheres, the second - up to 150.
Thus, Rifar Base radiators can be used in apartments or offices, Monolith - in rooms of any purpose and thermal insulation. They are reliable, durable, easy to install, have a modern design and fully satisfy all consumer needs.
- Sectional models make it possible to complete the radiator with the required number of sections.
- For non-standard layouts, there are sectional models with a radius of curvature.
- If it is necessary to make a connection in a non-standard way, it is possible to select models with lower and upper types of coolant supply.
- All consumables supplied by Rifar are adapted for Russian engineering structures.
- Monolithic samples are ideal for installation in apartment buildings with frequent pressure drops in the heating system.
- Modern monolithic Rifar designs are suitable for all types of coolants.
- The reliability of the design and ease of installation have earned recognition among installation specialists, and the long service life allows you to forget about replacing the heating system for a long time.
Features of Rifar radiators
Rifar heaters are products of a popular Russian company engaged in the production of the latest family of high quality batteries. They have the same advantages and disadvantages as most bimetallic and aluminum heaters.
Distinctive features regarding Rifar heaters are their relatively high resistance to various types of influences and operating conditions:
- The use of high-quality steel in the design allows for high-quality rust protection.
- A strong monolithic layer created by painting the outer surface guarantees protection of the batteries from various types of mechanical damage. This protective shell is formed through the use of special preparations when painting the external parts of the devices.
- To protect the inner jacket of heaters from the influence of caustic substances present in the coolant, a special protective shell is used.
- Rifar batteries are used in various variations of connection to the heating system: one-sided, diagonal and bottom connection. In individual sectors, devices with a bottom connection are more often used, and in high-rise buildings - with a side connection.
- Heaters can be used in all climatic zones of Russia in a variety of heating systems for individual houses and multi-storey buildings and structures.
- The special quality of products is achieved by using high-quality technological and production equipment. Rifar radiators are manufactured using robotic production lines and high-tech foreign equipment.
Advantages
The family of modern heating devices is represented by various types of constantly improving heaters.
The reliability and quality of Rifar products, as well as a set of the following advantages, make it the most attractive to customers:
- The original housing design ensures maximum heat transfer and free air movement.
- The use of sectional batteries makes it possible to regulate the area of the heated surface of the batteries by increasing or decreasing the number of sections. This leads to a change in the amount of heat received from the heater.
- When using monolithic structures, heaters are highly resistant to water hammer, and any coolant leaks are excluded. Of course, this type of heater remains operational for a long time and has a long service life.
- Bimetal batteries are relatively lightweight, have a modern design and are quite compact. The buyer has the opportunity to purchase devices in the color that he prefers. To protect the surface from damage and fading, two-layer painting .
- The devices demonstrate high resistance to heat .
- Simple and convenient installation allows for independent installation and connection.
- A high degree of reliability of bimetallic heaters under conditions of high liquid pressure and water hammer.
- High tolerance to various coolants , resistance to their internal composition, hardness and purity.
- The metal outer shell has a significant heat transfer coefficient.
- The average price is lower compared to similar devices abroad.
- Rifar heaters are reliable, durable, have a long warranty period and use .
- Bimetallic batteries have low inertia, have high-speed heating and cooling , which is important in conditions of automatic regulation.
Flaws
Bimetallic heaters Rifar, due to their characteristics, are distinguished by positive performance characteristics.
But, like most devices in this class, they also have weaknesses:
- High cost of devices.
- Aluminum radiators retain their performance and reliability only with high-quality coolant. If these conditions are not met, the heat transfer rate decreases .
- High battery performance is achieved by using special manufacturing technology, which requires corresponding costs. Therefore, the cost of these devices is higher compared to others.
Monolit
A series of advanced bimetallic heating radiators that can withstand any harsh operating conditions. The manufacturer assures that the devices are designed to operate at temperatures even up to 135 degrees.
Monolit is perhaps the most popular product line of Rifar, which has won recognition due to its high technical performance. Externally, radiators of this series are not much different from traditional heating devices, but the main feature of the product lies inside: here the coolant moves through a one-piece, non-separable system of steel channels, designed using unique welding technologies. This radiator design completely eliminates the occurrence of equipment leaks and guarantees uninterrupted heating.
But the advantages of Monolit radiators do not end there. Also among the notable advantages:
- increased anti-corrosion qualities - the channels for the movement of coolant are made of special steel with an anti-corrosion coating;
- maximum heat transfer - achieved thanks to the complicated geometry of heat transfer surfaces;
- complete independence from the type of coolant;
- possibility of using non-freezing coolants of any type;
- absence of any joints between sections;
- high strength - the device can withstand a nominal pressure of up to 100 atm;
- Manufacturer's warranty – 25 years.
Advice. Monolit is a suitable option for those who cannot or do not want to deal with various types of adapters when installing radiators: devices in this line are connected according to the standard G1/2 or G3/4 circuit without adapter devices.
Types of radiators
Radiators come in a variety of sizes
Different radiator models also have their own characteristics, and differ mainly in their dimensions and center distance. The size of the battery, in addition, directly affects its heat dissipation. To familiarize yourself with the specific parameters of various models, you can look at the table compiled by the manufacturer.
| Model | Center distance in mm. | Depth in mm. | Height in mm. | Width in mm. | Weight of each section. | Heat flow rating of one section in W. |
| Base 500 | 500 | 100 | 570 | 79 | 1,92 | 204 |
| Base 350 | 350 | 90 | 415 | 79 | 1,36 | 136 |
| Base 200 | 200 | 100 | 261 | 79 | 1,02 | 104 |
| Alp 500 | 500 | 75 | 570 | 79 | 1,50 | 191 |
So, the center distance affects the dimensions of the battery. For example, “B-200” is well suited for a small room, and “B-500” will look great in a room with a large area. If the square footage of the room is large, and even with large window openings, then to heat it you need to purchase the “A-500” model, which has excellent heat transfer.
Models are also divided according to their connection type. Some of them have special pipes for lower connections, and they can easily be installed in an already installed heating circuit. The cost of these radiators is slightly higher than with a conventional insert system. But it should be noted that these models have much more advantages, both from a technical and aesthetic point of view.
Bottom connection diagram for Rifar radiators
So, the advantages of such Rifar radiators:
- The aesthetics of the bottom connection is that all pipes run along the floor and do not rise above the baseboard.
- Easy and quick installation - installation will not take much time and effort, and for the Rifar-monolith model you will not even need valves to connect the sections, which will allow you to save money.
- Each radiator model is patented and has a technical passport.
- Radiators with outlets for connection from below are suitable for any coolant, including antifreeze.
- The built-in thermostat allows you to control and set the temperature in the battery as required at the moment.
Possibility of precise adjustment of heating temperature
Due to the increase in product output and the filling of the market, the manufacturer annually reduces prices for its products, giving the opportunity to more and more people to purchase such high-quality equipment for their homes.
Forza
A series of relatively budget medium-power radiators Rifar. Depending on the center distance, models in this series can be of three types:
- B200 – radiators with a center gap of 200 mm. They have a closed rear section - due to this design feature, the batteries are perfectly combined with French windows that are demanding in terms of interior aesthetics.
- B350 – batteries with a center distance of 350 mm. Often used in rooms with certain height restrictions in the installation area - such bimetallic radiators allow you to keep the style of the space unchanged.
- B500 is the most powerful model in the series with an axle spacing of 500 mm. Ideal for large areas with poor thermal insulation - these high-performance batteries are able to provide high-quality heating even in such difficult conditions.
Radiators are designed for uninterrupted operation at temperatures up to 135 degrees and can withstand pressure up to 20 atm.
In the operation of Forza radiators, the main focus is on the maximum permissible heat flow of one section: for models with interaxial spacing of 200 mm and 350 mm, this value is 136 Watt, for 500 mm – 200 Watt. The manufacturer's warranty is 15 years.
Another popular series is Rifar, presented, like the previous line, by three bimetallic models with different overall dimensions and center distances:
All three radiators can be either basic or special - in the Flex or Ventil modification.
Base Flex - bimetallic batteries with a certain radius of curvature. Curved models can be installed against a wall with a radius of at least 1450 mm. The company produces devices for both convex and curved working walls. Through the use of innovative Flex technologies, the consumer receives greater opportunities in terms of choosing the dimensions and appearance of Base devices.
Base Ventil - batteries designed for connection to a heating system with a lower coolant outlet. In this case, the role of connecting fittings is either a regular lower unit with a center distance of 50 m, or a single valve corresponding to the type and configuration of a specific heating system.
The maximum heat flow per radiator section depends on the center distance: 200 mm – 104 Watt, 350 mm – 136 Watt, 500 mm – 204 Watt. The batteries operate at temperatures up to 135 degrees and can withstand atmospheric pressure up to 20 atm. Models can be produced with a different number of sections – from 4 to 14. The manufacturer’s warranty for all radiators in the Base line is 10 years.
Here are three popular series of Rifar radiators, distinguished by a whole range of technical characteristics. Which battery to choose for your heating system - Monolit, Forza or Base - is up to you, but when making such an important decision, do not forget about the above-mentioned features of the product and be sure to rely on customer and specialist reviews about it.
Overview of the model range and their cost
Heating radiators
For a complete overview of the model range of Rifar radiators, additional options and designs, we recommend using the battery designation diagram below. Thus, in the Rifar 350 and Rifar 500 models, the numbers indicate the value of the center distance, which is the length between the upper and lower collectors, and the designation Rifar 350 means the name of the Rifar radiator with a center distance of 350, in this case the model brand is not indicated.
The Rifar range of heating devices is represented by bimetallic radiators Rifar Base, Rifar Alp, Rifar Monolit, SUPReMO and aluminum radiators Rifar Alum.
Relatively recently, the range of radiators was expanded with heating devices with bottom connection Rifar Ventil. They are created on the basis of aluminum and sectional radiators and have, as standard, a radiator connection unit and a thermostatic valve with an installed thermostatic head. Another addition to this range are Rifar Flex radiators, which feature a variable radius of curvature of the heating device. All Rifar heating radiators can be purchased at affordable prices in specialized stores in Moscow.

Supreme
This model is a monolithic structure created using resistance welding using a manufacturing method similar to the Monolith series.
Models in this series have a number of features, some of which are unique to this type of battery:
- During operation and installation, it is possible to use any suitable connection diagram.
- Other coolants permitted in the technical documentation may be used as a coolant.
- To speed up the circulation of the coolant in the sections, two-pipe steel collectors are used, and accelerated circulation undoubtedly increases heat transfer. This leads to rapid heating of the battery and maintaining the temperature in the rooms.
- The design configuration is somewhat different from other models with its aesthetic and rounded shapes.
- The maximum operating pressure is 100 atmospheres.
The technical characteristics of the Rifar Supremo section are shown in the table.

A distinctive feature of these radiators is the shallow depth of the section. This dimensional parameter does not affect the amount of heat transfer from the battery as a whole. Taking into account this feature, it becomes possible to install 14 sections simultaneously, and this circumstance allows them to be used in rooms with large window openings and narrow window sills.
In models like Alp 500, only water specially prepared for this purpose is allowed as a coolant, and the number of sections used is from 4 to 14.
