What are the most efficient domestic radiators?
Aluminium Radiators – The Kings of Efficiency The obvious candidate for this kind of discussion is the aluminium radiator…and with good reason. Aluminium is an excellent conductor of heat which means, when used as a radiator material, it’s heats up to the desired room temperature very quickly.
Are new radiators more efficient?
Efficiency. You may think all radiators are born equal, but you’d be wrong. In fact, modern radiators can be up to 50% more efficient than their year 2000 counterparts. This increased efficiency leads to a decrease in energy bills, meaning that your new radiators will eventually pay for themselves.
Are cast iron radiators any good?
Cast iron radiators are an energy efficient radiator. Studies have shown that the conductivity of cast iron is higher than that of steel and therefore the heat transfer from the cast iron radiator into the room is much more efficient than steel. Our electric cast iron radiators also provide energy efficient heating.
How do I know what kind of radiator to buy?
The Verdict: Choosing the Right Radiator
- Available space within the engine compartment.
- Engine size and compression ratio.
- Engine performance—horsepower output and torque production.
- Intended vehicle use.
- Type of fan—electric or flex fan.
- Transmission type—automatic transmissions will require a transmission cooler.
Are modern radiators more efficient than cast iron?
Cast iron radiators are an energy efficient radiator. Steel tends to emit a blast of heat in a short space of time whereas cast iron, although will take a little longer to reach temperature, will gently radiate an ambient heat over a much longer period, even after your boiler is switched off.
