Maximize energy efficiency with the sizing and choice of tubular radiators

With rising utility costs and growing attention to the environmental impact of our daily choices, it becomes increasingly important to choose the most efficient heating system for your home.

In this article, we will talk about tubular radiators, which still represent the most popular choice among those looking to maximize the energy efficiency of their heating system without sacrificing design.

What is a tubular radiator?
A tubular radiator is a type of radiator consisting of a series of tubes, usually made of steel or aluminium, through which hot water from the heating system circulates.

Thanks to their elongated and slim shape, tubular radiators can be easily placed along the walls of the room, thus taking up less space than other types of radiators.

The tubular radiator batteries are composed of:

- COLUMNS that define the depth of the radiator. The radiators can be single column or have multiple columns (usually from 2 to 6 columns in depth)

- ELEMENTS which define the width of the radiator

The number of columns and elements defines the power of the radiator, the Watts that are supplied and that are necessary for correct sizing.

Advantages of tubular radiators
Tubular radiators offer a number of advantages over other types of radiators. First of all, thanks to their shape, tubular radiators take up less space than other types of radiators and can also be positioned, for example, behind a door to heat the room when the door remains closed due to limited space.

Furthermore, thanks to the possibility of combining the various elements, tubular radiators are able to respond to practically all heating needs, adapting perfectly to both large and smaller rooms.

Among the most purchased tubular radiators there are certainly the Tesi radiators by Irsap: these radiators are available in a wide range from 2 to 6 columns and have many available center distances, perfect both for new buildings and for renovations, also having center distances capable of replace old cast iron, aluminum or lamellar radiators without masonry work.

Furthermore, Irsap Tesi radiators are available in a wide range of colors and, on request, also with a RAL chosen by the buyer.

Irsap's Tesi radiators are made of steel, which makes them much more durable and resistant than aluminum radiators.

Sizing of tubular radiators
Given that nothing can replace an accurate thermotechnical analysis carried out on site, the first step in choosing the right tubular radiator for your heating needs is to understand the heating needs of your home.

This means evaluating the surface area of your home, the layout of the rooms and the level of thermal insulation of the walls.

To have a sizing of the radiators for your home, you can contact the Acquaclick technical office by filling in the appropriate form for a radiator estimate on our ecommerce.
