I have to admit, the panel radiator is a slick product, and Air Flow doesn’t offer it. *Sigh*.
Compared to the ‘base’ design of 220F water and 70F space, a panel radiator derates when the space temp is warmer or the water supply temperature drops.
For example, half the capacity is lost at 160F. It still works fine, just need more (cowbell) panel.
Trouble is, the max temperature on the heating side of a heat recovery chiller or heat pump is usually around 120F. And we’re using those devices in place of boilers as we electrify our buildings.
How does the panel radiator perform at 120F?
Not so good.
Half the capacity compared to 160F.
