Hey everyone I am a little stumped with an answer to a question someone has asked me, hoping someone on this forum could help me out.
So the basis of the question is surrounded by radiator btu output at different temperature systems.
For example if a radiators is producing a heat output of 5220 btu/h on a steam system running at 203 degree Fahrenheit, and a btu output of 2610 btu/h on a hydronic system running at 167 degrees, how do I base these numbers to tell me the different outputs that the radiator will deliver at different set system temperatures?
These radiators technical specifications are 617 btu per section for steam and 429 for hot water.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I assume there is a formula for this, I just am not yet aware of it.
