radiator ratings, steel

Jeremy A

Hi folks, been gone for two years and its like Rip van Winkle waking up in a well lit boiler room. I am relocated to the third world where pressed steel section radiators are common and they are all coming due for replacement, and NOBODY in my pile of rocks has the EDR (or kcal ratings) for them. A rule of thumb that often works is filling the wall print of the old with a Helyos aluminum section rad of the same with, but I'd rather work with the facts. These are very much like the modern steel enamel pretty things, but the seam or weld protrude beyond the tube and thus adds to the area.TIA on a long shot.

wouldnt say stuck. Jerusalem. I have the Helyos stats, in three color glossy. Its the old steel i need the numbers for. Thermal mass of this structure is off the charts. Stone on grade for the floor, twelve foot ceilings walls nearly a meter of mixed density stone products, single pane metal and wood sashes. Lucky our degree day profile is better than Fargo ND

Rads

Those rads look like the Chinese/Russian ones I've seen online.

Ratings

Jeremy,

Okay, I think I see what your after, the link below
has the different "types" with their respective
watt output, you may get close, they're steel.(VEHA eq.)

I guess being where you at you'll get whatever shows
up on the truck, ypu might just have to fudge your
GPM and Delta T to "match up" the actual load.

You could maybe use any manf's data for a steel rad
that comes close to the form factor.

These are imported to the US by "Termoteknik" of Turkey,
there probably made in China as well.

likely older than China. Sort of before the 2nd industrial revolution. Thank 'all I'll probably borrow some look alike's numbers.
