How Central Heating Radiators Work

Thursday, September 30th, 2010

Central heating system, simply put, heats up your home or office and keeps everyone warm. The idea is simple, the central heating system has two important components. First is the boiler, which is fitted in a store room, kitchen, or bathroom and the other one is the radiator which is fitted in each room. Boiler’s task is to heat up the water that is carried through all the radiators with the help of electric pumps fitted in the boiler.

A lot of people does not know how central heating radiators work. All they know is that it helps keep your home warm.

A hot water radiator is a bent copper pipe with the right angles help produce heating surface with the maximum area. The heat pipes follow the ridged lines. Water then enters and leaves through the valves at the bottom. The radiator’s copper pipes are bented about 20 times to produce more heat. The bigger the size of the radiator the more bents it can do because of the larger surface area which could heat up the whole room.

Heated water which is pumped into the radiators from the central heating boiler passes through the copper pipes which heats up the outer steel surface of the radiator. As soon as the steel surface is heated, it will help warm the room in the house or office. Every radiator has a screw valve that helps control the temperature of the radiator. Turning off the radiator valve will bypass the water to flow to the radiator. This will result to cooling down the radiator.

A lot of people think that turning off the radiators will help them reduce their bills but they are wrong. When you switch off the radiator, the water flow will not stop and the boiler is still running. So, to save energy, be sure to turn off the boiler not the radiator.
