K1 versus K2 versus P+

[diydazzler]

Looking to change a couple of single panel radiators and trying to work out what size to go for

Would I be near the mark in thinking a K2 rad that is half the size of a K1 ( in terms of surface area) would give out a similar amount of heat and a P+ slightly less ?

close enough but to confirm go onto stelrads site and check the rad chart

Not quite

600 x 1000 K1Stelrad = 1000watts
600 x 500 K2 =889w (600 x 600K2 = 1067w)
600 x 500 P+ =705w (600 x 700P+ = 986w)

600 x 500 P+ =705w (600 x 700P+ = 986w)

is "not quite" not the same as "close enough"

Aye Change your 1000K1 for a 500K2 and leave the light on
