How Radiators Heat Rooms: Understanding Column and Designer Radiators
How Do Radiators Work?
Radiators work by transferring heat from hot water that flows through the radiator to the surrounding air. This process involves conduction, convection, and radiation.
- Conduction: Heat is transferred from the hot water inside the radiator to the metal surface.
- Convection: The heated air around the radiator rises, and cooler air is drawn in to replace it, creating a circulation of warm air throughout the room.
- Radiation: The radiator emits infrared radiation, which directly warms objects and people in the room.
