Varme Kilden Radiators

Once installed pipes or valves are not visible. Access to the thermostat is, through a special adaptor mounted on the inside of the VARME KILDEN radiators.

Thanks to their unique internal design, the water which runs throughVARME KILDEN radiant plates will always travel the same distance, between entry and exit, resulting in even heating of the radiator shell for optimum efficency.

How do the radiant plates VARME KILDEN save fuel

The human body regulates core body temperature, e.g "producing heat, or removing it"

In order to stay comfortable some of the heat must be dispersed, this can be achieved by conducion, convection or radiation.

When the body dispels too much heat, we feel COLD, and start to shiver, if the body dispels too little heat we feel HOT and start to sweat.

The heating engineers are preoccupied with maintaining optimum comfort zone curve, in accordance with Bedford - Bachman.

A traditional convection system is unable to effectively raise the core wall temperature. As a result comfort zone is attained by heating the air instead. this method is highly inefficent. The air has to be continually heated to maintain a comfort zone.

The most efficent way to heat the room is to raise the temperature of the walls, solids have a specific heat capacity, this allows the walls to accumulate energy, in the form of heat and decrease the temperature difference between our body's and the walls. Subsequently, the transfer of heat from our bodys to the surroundings is dereased.

The perception of comfort is dependent on the AIR TEMPERATURE, and MIDDLE RADIANT TEMPERATURE, eg the surface temperature that surrounds the body, moving from the shade to the sunshine, this creates an immediate feeling of warmth.

This means it is not the air temperature alone which determines the heating - infrared radiation plays a major part. This type of heat transfer is different from CONDUCTION and CONVECTION, and is essentially an electromagnetic phenomenon.

Infrared radiation does not require particle to particle contact to be transmitted ( unlike conduction or convection) therefore it can pass through a vacum.

Properties of Infrared radiation

1. IR waves travel in a straight line, in all directions

2. IR waves travel through a vacum

3. IR waves are not absorbed by air

4. IR waves are absorbed by solid matter, IR waves make the particles within the matter to v vibrate, thus producing heat .

Varme Kilden
The heating systems that rely on convection (heaters) or forced (fan-|coil|) exhibit "thermal stratification" with a temperature gradient of about 1.8°c for every meter of height. In a 3 meter high room the temperature difference, between between the floor and ceiling of approximately 5.5°C.

With the radiant system VARME KILDEN® from Energy Save UK.org the temperature difference is reduced approximately 0.5°C per meter, e.g the same 3 meter high room the temperature difference between the floor and ceiling will be approximately 1.5°c.

In a house heated with VARME KILDEN irradiant system, there is a marked reduction of the temperature gradient which decreases the amount of thermal output required to maintain an ambient temperature.

In a house heated by VARME KILDEN irradiant system. there is an almost total absence of dust in suspension, which is in complete inversion to a normal convective heating system where dust continually remains suspended in the air.

For these reasons if we can say THE HEAT TRANSMITTED BY IRRADIATION MEANS COMFORT and Saving ENERGY and saving MONEY AT THE SAME TIME and looking after the ENVIRONMENT in which WE LIVE IN, WE would have ALL ACHIEVED OUR GOAL.
