PANEL RADIATOR
Introduction
The radiators are welded to the panels in the form of a combination of water circulation channels
and high convectors. All panel radiators allow radiative heat transfer and convective heat transfer.
80% of these heat transfers occur by convection and 20% by radiation. If we talk about the main
parts of the panel radiator, it is shown in detail in the figure below. Convectors that provide heat
transfer between the air and the panel radiator; between the rear panel and the front panel and
welded to them. T connections are used for water inlet and water outlet. To make these connections,
the first and last 4 convectors are shorter than the other convectors. Right and left side covers are
mounted on the panel.
The Purpose of The Experiment
How does a 600 x 1000 mm panel radiator operating in 50-30 degrees Celsius cycle perform at 20
degrees Celsius and 1 Atm pressure?

The experimental setup

Experimental set‐up includes various type vanes, thermometers, manometer, pump, panel radiator,
flow meter and an electric heater. After the flow rate of the system reaches a constant value the
input and output temperature values of the water will be recorded periodically.

Experimental Procedure

1. Wait until the radiator temperature reaches the nominal value.

2. Radiator inlet and outlet temperatures, volumetric flow is noted.
3. The average value of the inlet-outlet temperature is found. Thanks to the value found, cp is
found from the tables.
4. Using the difference in inlet and outlet temperatures, flow rate and cp, Q (required heat
output) is found.
5. The required heat output is multiplied by the capacity factor taken from the table to find Q n
(standard heat output).
6. The performance of the radiator is found by doing the standard heat output / work.

Heat Exchange Between Radiator and Environment

In panel radiators, heat transfer to the environment is provided by convectors as mentioned before.
These convectors are heated by the hot water flowing through the radiator. The heat exchange
between the environment and the radiator takes place through these hot convectors. This result
leads us to examine the radiator from two perspectives. The first is the examination for the hot water
side flowing through the radiator. The second is the inspection for the air flowing over the
convectors. Forced convection occurs on the hot water side and natural convection occurs on the air
side.
