Cast Iron radiator heat output question

Can anyone throw out a number on this rad? It's 48 sections, about 15" tall, 3 1/2" wide. 48 sections gives it about 8 feet. Thanks for any help.

  • Guestimate

    1/2 - 3/5 sq.ft. per section.

    Will do my best to find similar tomorrow when proper books are available.

    Rad of that design will have somewhat higher ouput per sq.ft. EDR than typical.



  • Struck out Gary. Nothing truly similar in EDR or any of my other books.

    Closest thing I could find is the "Beaver" Pressed Steel Radiator in EDR. Single column design similar to this. 14" high x 4" wide = 1 sq.ft. per section.

    Will revise my guestimate to ¾ to 1 sq.ft. per section.

    I can't quite make out the mfgr. Is it H. L. Prine Co.?
