Hi Looking for some comparison of BTU / KW output of imperial radiators vs metric radiators.
I have 6 radiators all are double panel double fins but are the old style painted steel. Would I see an increase in BTU/KW output by replacing them with the new metric modern ones?
I used this website http://www.simplifydiy.com/plumbing-and-heating/radiators/power
and calculated that my radiators were giving out 14850BTU or 4.4KW.
If I replaced them with new I would get 44775BTU or 13.1KW.
To me this seems like a massive difference and wasnt sure how to validate this as I could not find any ratings for the old imperial sized radiators.
Any help or advice is appreciated
Andy
