cast iron column rads

[lenny]

Hi,
Can anybody advise me how to calculate the output of cast iron column radiators please.

also another question on a different project, on a CHS sourced by a wood boiler stove the norm is to use 22mm tube on the flow and return to the radiators linking the rads with 15mm tube. Can this be done in 22mm linking the rads with 10mm.

many thanks

With regard to your second question the answer is, how long is a piece of string ??, you will have to work out the heat requirements of the rad and the carrying capacity of the pipe serving the rad

The manufacturer should have this info shouldn't they?

Thanks for the reply Tom, the rads are as old as the hills, theres no way of telling who the manufacturer is.
