If there is air in my radiator does that affect the cost and efficiency?
Another homework question?
What course are you doing again?
Could you send me an exam paper? Another qualification to my name wouldn't hurt.

I am a student working on a architecture project and wanted to learn more about energy efficiency. If i changed a single radiator to a double radiator, would it be more efficient and why? Will it make a difference to the water heating up and if a boiler was switched on and off more often will the heat cycle change?
Thank You
point noted..Ahem, let me clear my throat/keyboard

All radiators are full of air when you buy them!If there is air in my radiator does that affect the cost and efficiency?
With radiators it's heat in = heat out :. 100% efficiency.
If the radiator is half full of air then it will be less effective but still 100% efficient, considering the radiator in isolation.
If you follow the process through, it really is quite simple.If the water leaving the radiator is warmer than the ambient air temperature in the room it has not given up 100% of the heat energy entering it and so is not 100% efficient.
