Radiator Output Calculator

The Radiator Output Calculator estimates the heating power needed to maintain a comfortable temperature in a room based on its volume and insulation quality. Calculating the required radiator output helps in selecting the appropriate radiator size for efficient heating.

Background

Radiators are a common heating solution in homes and buildings. The heating requirement depends on factors like room size and insulation. This calculator uses typical insulation factors (W/m³) to estimate the necessary wattage.

Formula

\[ \text{Required Output (Watts)} = \text{Room Volume (m³)} \times \text{Insulation Factor (W/m³)} \]

Example Calculation

For a 50 m³ room with average insulation: \[ \text{Required Output} = 50 \times 50 = 2500 \text{ Watts} \]

Usage

This calculator aids in selecting the appropriate radiator to ensure adequate heating while avoiding energy inefficiency.
