Defining the size of the radiator or the number of elements necessary to adequately heat an environment is essential to have the right environmental comfort.
The radiators are the terminals of the heating system which, through radiation, heat the environment in which they are installed.
The correct sizing of the radiators is therefore essential to have the correct power in the heating system because, although the boiler may be performing, if the radiators are too small compared to the environment, they will not be able to transmit sufficient heat to have adequate thermal comfort.
Similarly, if the system radiators are too large, the sizing error will result in a higher cost both in the purchase and in daily consumption.
Sizing of steel radiators
The most common radiators currently are those made of steel and, in order to carry out a correct sizing, it will be necessary to take into account the volume of the room to be heated, the type of insulation present, the climatic zone and the type of heat generator used in the heating system. .
The first step in starting sizing is to figure out exactly how many Watts are needed for each room. To have an approximate, but realistic, count of the Watts needed to heat a room, the formula to be applied is the following:
Power = Volume of the room (in meters) x 30
Example:
We have a 12 square meter room to be heated with an average height of 2.7 m. By applying the formula described above we will obtain:
(12 m2 x 2.7 m) x 30 = 972 Watts needed to obtain a correct level of heating in this environment.
Once you have identified the Watts of power needed for your environment, it is necessary to check the dimensions that the radiator can have based on the space you have available.
The range of Irsap Tesi radiators is decidedly wide and is able to solve any problem relating to the positioning of the radiators: Irsap Tesi radiators are available in variable heights from 20 cm up to 250 cm and are sold with a variable number from 2 to 6 columns deep.
The shallower Tesi radiators, those with 2 columns, for example, can also be easily installed behind a door in case of lack of adequate space.
According to the Watts calculated in the previous phase, a suitable number of elements (in width) must be selected to achieve the necessary power.
Irsap Tesi radiators are also available for replacing old cast iron or aluminum radiators without having to modify the plumbing system.
