I am trying to determine the EDR rating for radiation for a 1931 office building in NYC.
Cannot find the exact match in the EDR book. Does anyone have any info?

Radiation Identification
Apparently the photos I sent were too large. I have reduced them in hope that they can be posted. If anyone has any info on these panel radiators from the 1930s, it would be greatly appreciated.

The first two
are probably National Panel radiators. See page 152 of Dan's book "E.D.R." for dimensions and ratings.
The third is made up of several standard wall radiator sections, which appear in the same book.All Steamed Up, Inc.

Radiator Enclosures
If some of these radiators have enclosures (like the one shown in the first picture) that block convective air currents, this will reduce the EDR.Just another DIYer | King of Prussia, PA
