How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the flow rate of the radiator in liters per minute (L/min).
  2. Enter the supply temperature of the water in degrees Celsius (°C).
  3. Enter the return temperature of the water in degrees Celsius (°C).
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to calculate the heat output of the radiator.
  5. The result will be displayed in watts (W).

Working Principle

The heat output of a radiator is calculated using the formula Q = 3600 * G * Cp * (ΔT), where:

  • Q is the heat output in watts (W).
  • G is the flow rate in liters per minute (L/min).
  • Cp is the specific heat capacity of water, which is approximately 4186 J/kg·K.
  • ΔT is the temperature difference between the supply and return temperatures in degrees Celsius (°C).
