What Are The Benefits Of Low Temperature, Energy Efficient Aluminium Radiators?
With Energy Efficient Aluminium Radiators there’s often a misconception that they aren’t as effective at heating your home as traditional radiators because they are often times referred to as low temperature radiators. Whilst they’re called ‘low temperature’ radiators, this refers to the level of heat required for the radiator to operate. It doesn’t suggest that they provide lower levels of warmth for your home than normal radiators. In fact, low temperature radiators are more effective at heating your home evenly and efficiently, and that’s not the only reason they’re a smart home heating solution. With this in mind, let’s take a look at just a few of the main benefits of low temperature radiators.
More eco-friendly
Whilst the water supplied to traditional heating systems needs to be between 70 and 80°C, the water supply to low temperature radiators only needs to be between 30 and 55°C. This saves a huge amount of energy, making low temperature radiators a much more sustainable option for the environment, particularly when combined with other eco-friendly home heating methods such as underfloor heating.
More cost-effective
Home heating solutions that save energy are not only better for the environment, they’re also a big help for your wallet. With low temperature radiators less energy is wasted, and the energy that is used, is used far more efficiently. This means you won’t be shelling out on excess heating costs and large energy bills.
Even heat distribution
Traditional radiators have a tendency to create hot and cold spots in the property. As they are less responsive to changes in temperature, they can also cause the room to overheat very quickly. Low temperature radiators on the other hand, spread heat evenly throughout the property. That means no more cold corners or draughts!
Healthier indoor climate
Low temperature radiators produce less powerful air flows in your home. This means that less dust particles become suspended in the air, creating a fresher, and healthier indoor air quality. Whilst traditional radiators can cause the room to overheat and feel stuffy, radiators that use low temperatures create an even, and more pleasant heat distribution. Additionally, as they do not reach excessively high temperatures, low temperature radiators also reduce the risk of scorch marks that can irritate airways.
Low temperature radiators at Pipelife Eco
Designed for low water temperature operation, our aluminium radiators heat up and cool down very quickly, making them very responsive to any changes that you make on the thermostat. They are ideal for use with heat pump technology and can also be used alongside underfloor heating in a split system.
The low temperature makes our radiators more efficient, reducing heat pump operation and water volume. It also helps the room to heat up quickly and stay warm for longer. An innovative curved front baffle improves hot air flow by allowing hot air to release easily from the three windows and facilitate their transition into the hottest part of the radiator.
