Hmm. I've got an old floorstanding Potterton Kingfisher 80 which is in the
airing cupboard - just over twice the volume of the boiler casing. It is
well ventilated, but I'd not say it gives off more heat than a rad -
unless you mean a small one. Keeps the bathroom nice and warm, though.

The casing, incidently, never gets as hot as a rad.
