Connection size

The diameter of the thread used to connect the radiator to the heating system. Modern radiators use standard sizes — for example, 3/4" or 1/2", less often 1" and 1 1/4". This indicator must match the dimensions of the pipes, couplings and other elements directly used for connection — otherwise, at best, you will need to install adapters, and at worst, the radiator will turn out to be unusable at all.

Usually, the larger the thread diameter, the more powerful the radiator (high power requires intensive circulation of the heating medium and an appropriate throughput at the inlet and outlet).

Heat output

The rated thermal output of the radiator is the amount of heat given off to the air in normal operation.

When choosing this parameter note that the heat output will depend on the temperature difference at the inlet and outlet to the radiator, as well as on the ambient temperature. The greater the temperature difference and the colder it is around, the more intense the heating will be. Therefore, in the specs, it is customary to indicate heat transfer for certain standard conditions. In particular, the designation according to the European standard EN-442 is very popular, which assumes heating medium temperatures of +75 °С and +65 °С at the inlet and outlet, respectively, as well as an air temperature of +20 °С. Real conditions and the actual heat output of the radiator may differ; therefore, when choosing, it is best to choose a model with a certain margin and compensate for excess power with one or another regulator. As for the actual values, in the most modest models, the heat outputdoes not exceed 750 W, or even 500 W, and in the largest, this figure can reach 3.5 – 4 kW or more.

The choice for this parameter depends primarily on the size and specs of the heated space. The simplest calculation formula is as follows: at least 100 W of thermal power is required per 1 m2 of area. This formula is relevant for standard r...esidential/office premises with ceilings of 2.5 – 3 m, without problems with thermal insulation; for more specific conditions, there are more detailed calculation methods, that can be found in special sources.

Radiator height

Radiator height. The most widespread nowadays are standard height sizes: 30 cm, 40 cm, 50 cm, 60 cm and 90 cm. In addition, you can find other options (although much less often) — 20 cm, 45 cm, 55 cm, 70 cm, 75 cm and 80 cm.

Firstly, the height of the product primarily determines the size of the space required for installation. At the same time, for models placed in a niche (see "Mounting"), this dimension actually corresponds to the required depth of this niche. In other cases, it is worth taking a certain margin in height — the radiator cannot be installed close to the floor and window sill (or other similar items). And models with a bottom connection (see above) will require additional space for the pipe connection.

Secondly, this size determines heat output: all other things being equal (including the size in width), a higher radiator will have a larger working surface area and a higher heat output (this is also true for heat exchangers in convectors). Thus, modern radiators are traditionally produced not in separate models, but in series of the same type of devices that differ onl...y in size and thermal power.
