Calculate Radiator Output Power



Formula

The formula to calculate the radiator output power is:

\[ OP = RP \times \left( \frac{\Delta T}{50} \right) \]

What is Radiator Output Power?

Radiator output power is the amount of heat a radiator can emit to heat a room. It is dependent on the temperature difference between the room and the water in the radiator. The standard temperature difference used to rate radiators is 50°C (ΔT=50°C). The output power helps to determine the appropriate size and number of radiators needed to heat a space effectively.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ OP = 2000 \times \left( \frac{40}{50} \right) = 1600 \text{ Watts} \]

The Output Power is 1600 Watts.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ OP = 1500 \times \left( \frac{30}{50} \right) = 900 \text{ Watts} \]

The Output Power is 900 Watts.
