2. Radiator reflector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_reflector

   In his 3m cubed test room with a 1 x 0.5 m radiator and walls of average U value 0.44 W/m 2 K, he found that for a radiator temperature of 43 °C the heat flux through the wall behind the radiator reduced from 7.1 to 3.1 W/m 2. Note that the average heat loss in the room was not reduced by such a large percentage as only part of the surface of ...

3. Radiant heating and cooling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_heating_and_cooling

   The heat energy is emitted from a warm element, such as a floor, wall or overhead panel, and warms people and other objects in rooms rather than directly heating the air. The internal air temperature for radiant heated buildings may be lower than for a conventionally heated building to achieve the same level of body comfort, when adjusted so ...

4. Radiator (heating) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiator_(heating)

   A radiator is a device that transfers heat to a medium primarily through thermal radiation.In practice, the term radiator is often applied to any number of devices in which a fluid circulates through exposed pipes (often with fins or other means of increasing surface area), notwithstanding that such devices tend to transfer heat mainly by convection and might logically be called convectors.

5. Central heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_heating

   In a steam heating system, each room is equipped with a radiator which is connected to a source of low-pressure steam (a boiler). Steam entering the radiator condenses and gives up its latent heat, returning to liquid water. The radiator in turn heats the air of the room, and provides some direct radiant heat. The condensate water returns to ...

6. Oil heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_heater

   Oil heaters have been known to explode when their thermal fuses fail to trigger a shutdown, [4] which can cause fire, thick black smoke, unpleasant odors, oil on walls and other surfaces, and disfiguring scalding. Some companies offer oil heaters with a fan to increase the quality of airflow over the heater.

7. Underfloor heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underfloor_heating

   Floor heating becomes a traditional heating systems in residential buildings in Middle Europe and Nordic countries and increasing applications in non-residential buildings. 1995: The application of floor cooling and thermal active building systems (TABS) in residential and commercial buildings are widely introduced into the market.
