Radiator Sizing and Correction Factors

Selecting radiators from catalogue outputs and correcting them for systems that run cooler than the test condition.

Catalogue ratings

Radiators are tested and listed to a European standard at a fixed condition, usually a deltaT of 50K — the difference between the mean water temperature and the room temperature (for example flow 75°C, return 65°C, room 20°C). The quoted output only applies at that condition.
