How to calculate the number of radiators

The comfort of living in the home primarily depends on the stability of maintaining the temperature regime. And the selection of climatic equipment should begin with the thermal calculation of the necessary power of heating radiators. There are several methods of selection - according to the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, in the cubature and the so -called complete thermal calculation. Full thermal calculation is used at the stage of designing the building, and for domestic use, the calculation of the cubacy has sufficient accuracy, that is, in the volume of the heated room.

We calculate the number of radiators that must stand without fail under the window openings. It should be borne in mind that the width of the radiator should be at least 75% of the window of the window opening. Otherwise, glazing will be very foaming, and mold and fungus will start in the not -war angles of the opening.

We calculate the full volume of the room by multiplying the length of the room by width and by height. In a modern insulated room, for organizing a comfortable temperature, it is necessary to give to the volume of the room at least 34 watts of thermal energy per cubic meter of space. Based on the volume obtained, by multiplying the cubature by the specific power, we get the number of the necessary thermal power for each specific room.

Each type and model of the radiator has its own thermal power, depending on the temperature of the heat -growing fluid. It is necessary to know exactly this parameter. To do this, we recommend using the tables that all manufacturers of radiators are placed in the form of technical information on their sites. Information about the given capacity of the radiator is also available on packaging boxes in which radiators go on sale. By dividing the necessary calculated thermal power into the given capacity of the radiator of a particular model, we obtain the required number of radiators that should be installed in this room. For example, you can go to the official website www-ru.korado.com - The most famous manufacturer of radiators to get acquainted with the types of radiators and the calculation methodology.

Based on the obtained calculated data and tabular values, select radiators for installation under the windows. You should not strive to get all thermal energy from one radiator. It will be much more comfortable if the lack of heat from the radiator under the window will be compensated by the installation of another or more radiators in the room. It is always better to install several low -power radiators than one more powerful. But in any case, the total capacity of the radiators planned for installation should not be less than the calculations.

There are many online services on the Web, where by setting the parameters of the room and glazing, you can get an answer how many and which radiators you need to install in the room. Try to calculate the number of radiators here.

Well, in fact, that's all. This calculation method is quite accurate, and the projects performed with its use have very comfortable living conditions.
