How to choose the correct radiator power?
The efficiency of heating depends on the proper operation of individual elements of the entire system. The heart is, of course, the selected energy source, while the elements located in individual rooms are responsible for the direct sensations. The final element are radiators , but in order for the apartment to be really warm, it is necessary to select the appropriate variant.
One of the most important parameters to take into account is the power of the radiator. It is selected based on individual factors, among which the heat demand plays the greatest role. This factor depends on additional issues, such as the level of thermal insulation of the building, materials used for construction and construction technology. Special calculators available online are a great convenience. They determine the heat demand, taking into account, among others: factors such as the level of the building's floor, the size of the rooms, the location of the facility or the number of external walls.
The type of installation used is also important. Heating can have two sources - side or bottom.
How to choose a radiator for a 25 m2 room?
When choosing the right radiator, in addition to the size of the room, you also need to take into account external walls, windows and the expected daily temperature. Due to the fact that individual characteristics must be taken into account, in case of doubt, the best solution is the help and advice of a specialist.
In addition to the size, the specificity of the interior (number of windows, balcony doors, external walls) and the location of the radiator should also be taken into account.
To properly select the power of the device, the estimation method is most often used. It assumes that the available square footage should be multiplied by the value needed to heat an area of 1 m2 or 1 m3. Assuming that the final temperature will be approximately 21-22 degrees, there is at least one window and an external wall in the room, then the minimum heater power should be no less than 80-100 W/m2.
How to choose a radiator for a 20 m2 room?
A radiator for a room with an area of 20 m2 is selected in a similar way. It will be necessary to estimate potential heat losses, which will not be high with well-made insulation. With a value of 50 W/m2, the obtained value must be multiplied by the size of the room. This means that the optimal choice will be a device with a power of 1000 W. However, if the room is located in an old building, where the degree of thermal insulation is significantly lower, then heat losses may be significantly higher, which means the need to install a radiator with a higher operating power.
