Discuss Rate of heating in a living room? in the USA Plumbers Advice area at PlumbersForums.net
So if it's heating up the room at a rate of between 2.5C - 3.0C / hour, this is too slow? I think it's too slow, but wondering what opinions are.
This is with heating system at ~60C at the boiler, and the thermostatic valve radiator turned up full.
Having used several online calculators the highest BTU I get on any calculator is 3788 BTU using: Radiator Sizing Calculator - BTU and KW - http://www.radcalcer.co.uk/ for the room.rad sounds undersized
It's a WB Combi 30i boiler with the rad below:You say you have a flow temperature of 60°c? Is this a condensing boiler.
I have pointed a contact free thermometer pointed very close to the rad and it gives a temp of ~58 C.From -10 to 21dc 14 mins so something isn’t right
does the rad get hot hot eg 60dc ish
I have pointed a contact free thermometer pointed very close to the rad and it gives a temp of ~58 C.
Thanks.I would say the specs that the manufacturer has claimed are over zealous and would estimate it to emit around 1.5-1.8 kw (max)as it’s basically a single panel rad
