Panel Radiation (Jamie P)

Steamhead (in transit)

I don't see a problem. The window is the coldest place in the room. I would try to use a rad with a width similar to that of the window.

Heat!

Quick question for you guys!

I have a room that is 17' x 17' and requires 7,318 BTU's. It has 2 and 1/2 exposed walls with 10' cielings. Would you be comfortable placing just one panel radiator in the front of this room below the large window?

Yes

Provided the window is located somewhat centrally in the room and the rad will not be "blocked" by furniture. That would prevent the radiant portion of the heat from traveling throughout the room. If it were me, I'd size the rad +10-15% for JIC factor.

I would say......

Yes, With the understanding that the customer doesnt block the rad with any furniture. (duh!) WW

Why do you ask?

Is it not the norm for us to do a heat load calc., determine the "design day" water temps and install radiantion/emitters that wil meet or exceed that load?

Knowing you as we do, the real question becomes, "Why would you have any doubts that the calcs. may be "flawed"? Is it the radiant aspect of output that has you being more careful than usual?

Sorry Jim...

But this was probably one of the funniest posts I've seen here in quite some time. My ribs hurt! ;-)

Hey Jim

Nothing wrong with two smaller units spaced apart.

Might get you off the couch also.

And the next thing heard is....

"There is the couch. Enjoy."

jackchips_2

The first

time she said that to me would be the last.

No sir, no couch for this man of the house. I'd go out and buy one of those futon thingamagigs.

Yeah, that's the ticket.

Brad White_9

Now THAT is putting your foot down, Jack.

Show HER who runs the house. Right dear?

jackchips_2

Just trying

to give Jamie some guidance, Brad.

That's all, just helping my brother wethead.
