Do you need a baffle on a radiator?
Radiators work via convection as well as directed flow and should deliver their rated output unmodified. If you want a radiator which comes with a baffle, then pay for one that says it has one fitted – as I said above, you get what you pay for.
Why does water shoot from bottom of radiator?
The water won’t just shoot along the bottom, convection currents will naturally occur in the radiators due to heat rising with or without baffles. The rads should have been tested to provide their rated output without any additional fitments.
How does a radiator work and what does it do?
Shoving something into a rad to try and ‘adjust’ the way water flows through it is asking for trouble (in my humble opinion). Radiators work via convection as well as directed flow and should deliver their rated output unmodified.
Can a radiator be converted to a column?
Column rads are rubbish imho good for art decor and look fancy and thats it ,last year i had done a radiator conversion in someones house from conventional rads to column ones as they were decorating the house right through . Worked out heat cal as you do and then some and installed correct sized columns as required .
