Hi all
Please forgive the no doubt easy query, I'm a little confused ...
We're hoping to move into a bungalow in the next few months with an extremely antiquated central heating system. It's going to need a new boiler and rads
I'm trying to work out radiator size requirements but have so far received wildly different answers from five different online calculators for one room. I've looked at PlumbNation, Radcalc, Best Heating, The Radiator Company, and Home Supply. Results vary from 1857 BTU to 3695 BTU
Is there a particular calculator that any of you know from experience to be more reliable than most, or can anyone point me in the direction of some documentation that will describe how to do the calculations manually?
Any advice gratefully received ...
EDIT: okay, my apologies, I've seen some other postings now, and the calculator mentioned in [post=199900]this[/post] post looks good so am about to try that. However, in that calculator, one of the values is "Infil." ... can anyone please explain what this value refers to?
I've also seen "Number of air changes" referred to in the Quinn heat loss calculator for iOS, but not quite sure how to answer that ... ?
