What does Type 22 mean on a radiator?

What does Type 22 mean on a radiator?

A type 22 radiator is a radiator with 2 panels and 2 layers of fins. More fins inside means there’s more space required to store them.

What is the difference between a Type 21 and 22 radiator?

Type 22 radiators are thicker than Type 21. The reason for this is that they have two sets of convector fins, thus taking up an inch or so more in diameter. This makes them better suited to larger spaces that need more power to be heated.

Are Type 22 radiators worth it?

Type 22 convector radiators These radiators are able to emit more heat than the others and are also chunkier, with a greater projection from the wall. If you have a large room that needs to be well-heated, then the Type 22 is probably going to be the most suitable.

What is the difference between Type 11 and 22 radiators?

Type 11 Radiator Sometimes called a K1 type, this design gives out the lowest heat, but is also much thinner than type 21 and type 22 radiators, so is perfectly suited to rooms where space is a premium.

What is a Type 20 radiator?

Steel panel radiators of type 20 Compact with side connection are hygienic. This means that the radiators consist only of heating panels. Their construction is not complicated by additional convective panels and protective elements.

Are Type 22 radiators more efficient?

A double panel convector radiator (also known as a Type 22) is an even more efficient and effective way of heating a room because it features two panels and two sets of convector fins, so the surface area of the radiator is vastly increased.

What is a Type 21 plus radiator?

Type 21 radiators are also known as P+ radiators or double panel plus radiators. They are a conventional type of radiator with 2 panels (front and back) and 1 set of convector fins in the middle usually zigzag shaped which distribute air evenly.
