radiator covers ..

jpf321 · December 2009

I just came across a website peddling rad covers .. they claim that covers increase comfort and efficiency <a href="http://www.beautifulradiators.com/radiator-covers.htm">http://www.beautifulradiators.com/radiator-covers.htm</a> .. but as far as I knew covers subtracted from overall heating ability. I don't recall where I saw the PDF regarding how much more EDR must be added or subtracted from based on the type of cover installed. (I'm sure Rod has this somewhere) ..

So which is correct .. the PDF seemingly based on math and science of dead men .. or the above website trying to cover up every rad in america for better heating?

Thanks.

Rad Covers

Sorry I don't have it. Since I don't have any covered radiators I wouldn't save anything like that. I do remember reading the document you are looking for but don't remember where it was from.

this turns out to be the one which I originally read .. which is slightly different than the other 2 links in this post ..

Personally, I think the radiator enclosure website posted in original post .. is simply peddling wares .. I would tend to believe the work of the deadmen, and the follow-up by steamhead as posted directly above.

radiator enclosures...

Here is yet another PDF that was sent to me by another forum member .. I figured I'd post it here so they are all in one place. It's the same, but slightly different.
