I'm replacing a single panel radiator with a towel radiator. So I can
select the correct size of towel rad I need to calculate the BTU
output from the original. The original rad is 730mm x 690mm and keeps
the room nice and toasty.

Is there an approximate calculation for this?

Look up the catalogue for any manufacturer and you should find a
similar sized and arranged radiator. Look up the nominal output in
kW and you have a figure.

You will probably find you need a very large towel drier to provide
an equivalent output.

It is generally best to separate heating the room from drying
towels.
