Investigation of thermal performance of the aluminum decorative radiators-Experimental approach

In this investigation the performance of a new modified decorative radiator is analyzed. This kind of the radiators are made of aluminum material and the fluid flow pipe in copper. Experimental method based on the EN-442 is employed to measure the thermal efficiency of the system. The main aim of this study is introduced these group of the radiators which have high efficiency compared with conventional models. Experimental results showed that thermal efficiency of the new modified decorative radiator increased about 57% compared with the conventional model so this causes that in addition to energy saving, also provides more thermal comfort conditions.
