Panel type

The type to which the panel radiator belongs (see Radiator type).

The type is indicated by a number that describes the number of heating panels and convectors in this model. Panels occupy the entire height and width of the radiator, and convectors are special zigzag structures between panels that improve heat output. As for the designation itself, the first digit in it corresponds to the number of panels and the second to the number of convectors. For example, the popular type 22 provides 2 panels and 2 convectors between them (the convectors are located inside the radiator, each is attached to its panel), and in the less popular type 21, there is only one convector, respectively, common to both panels. There are options without convectors at all — for example, the simplest type 10, with just one panel. And one of the most advanced today is type 33, more convectors/panels are extremely rare.

In general, more elements (with the same device size in width and height) improves the overall efficiency of the radiator but it comes at the expense of price, depth, and weight.

Heat transfer medium volume

The volume of water or other heating medium required to fill the radiator.

This information is relevant mainly when building an autonomous heating system: it is useful when calculating the total volume of heating medium in the system and related parameters. If the radiator is purchased for use in centralized heating, you can not pay much attention to its internal volume.

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 depth

The size of the radiator from the front to the back wall.

This parameter determines both the size of the space occupied by the device and its efficiency: other things being equal, a greater depth means a higher heat output (due to an increase in the area of contact with air). Specific nuances depend on the type of radiator and the method of its installation (see above). So, the most critical depth is for convectors with a horizontal layout, mounted in a niche — in them, this size directly determines both the required dimensions of the niche and the area of the working surface. In column models, this dependence is somewhat less pronounced. In panel devices, the efficiency depends not so much on the depth as such, but on the number of working elements (see "Type (panel)") — although a larger number of panels/convectors inevitably affects the dimensions. And sectional radiators most often have a relatively small depth: the differences between them in this parameter are not fundamental.
