What do you mean by "convector" radiator?

Why, I would use the same Mears calculator for either system type.
err yes it can
Yeah when you put your cowboy boots on.
Why don't you guys just admit it's an inefficient design well past its sell by date.
Theres also the issue of the extra cost of oversizing the radiators.
You don't need to oversize the rads, if you program it to come on 10mins earlier.
A radiator that give out 800btu's doesn't give out less because it's a one pipe system, true not as quickly as a two pipe system, but not a problem either.

How do you define: convector? (as opposed to: "normal" rad)
Convectors MUST have a pumped flow through them to acheive the rated output.
That what I was taught anyway.
The only one pipe loops I install are UFH.
And why can't you pump a flow through a convector, you could even include a compensator or blending valve if you wish.
The type with a finned tube heating element.
not to get in your way of your arguments but i would imagine the figures they give for rads would be btu/h, other wise any rad of any size could give out any figure of btu's given long enough...
And where is the problem in sticking fins on a one pipe system, you could have a whole room full of fined rads if it floated your boat.
Fortunately mehran the guys don't need educating on rad sizing.
I think
size, size, size
You guys really are obsessed.
Size is relatively unimportant, it depends entirely on the circumstances how much you get out of it; I have seen really big ones that were not up to the job. All depends on how it is used.

figures state capability. even cold a rad's still capable of reaching spec (think about it) besides that you are misunderstanding 'doitall',what he is talking about is initial warm up.it still reaches target. just takes longer to get there-INITIALLY!
I gathered that. Was just trying to point out that you can stick a 3000 x 700 K2 in, if it is at the end of 20 metres clogged up microbore, it won't do a lot despite its huge dimensions, especially not if the other rads are on 15 mm with the lockshields wide open.
What on earth did you think I meant?
What do you make of this statement from our Danish friends Doitall?
