    Calculation of radiator sections

    Radiator sections are the smallest structural element contained in a radiator battery.

    Type of radiator
    Power of 1 section (W)
    Room length
    Room width
    Ceiling height
    Type of glazing
    Number of external walls
    Wall insulation
    Minimum outside temperature
    Type of room above the calculated

    To calculate the required number of radiator sections to heat a certain room, use the following formula:

    N = S/t*100*w*h*r

    • S denotes the area of the room;
    • t – heat required to warm the room;
    • w – window coefficient (in case of ordinary glazing – 1.1, double -1);
    • h – ceiling level ( coefficient 1, if ceilings up to 2.7 m; 1,1 – within 2.7 to 3.5 m);
    • r – room placement – corner or not.
