It's a 2kW rad made up of a 700W and a 1300W setting. Now grow up.

No it is NOT I explained this before are yuo really that think.
There is NO 700W setting and NO 1300W setting.

Aww bless.

It has 3 heat settings. All of which depend on the voltage applied.

No, really? So why don't they print a graph on the side, showing the
power consumption over a range of voltages?

How about getting a grownup to show you the I, II and III
power positions and have them explain how they relate to the
approximate power levels of these rads when used on a working UK mains
supply.

What UK mains suply do you mean 240V or the 220V typically here or teh 210-215V in my office of the 202V in the lab if we installed all the heaters managment were sending us to install. ?

Yes, *the* UK mains supply, not your crap non-standard (for the UK
one). How many times do people have to tell you before you can accept
/ understand something?

No one is ever going to bend to your BS / variable use of measured
power as a description for the particular setting on those rads.

It is a 700, 1300 or 2000W heater at 240V.


So tell me the power of the heater needed for my office aimple isn't it.

Yoda, is that you? And why do you keep on with this 'simple isn't it'
when it either is (and you don't understand) or isn't (and you don't
understand)?

What is impossible for you to comprehend is basic bread_and_butter to
many with many here being able to come to a better and more accurate
conclusion on the back of a fag packet than you could with full use of
a Cray.

What would you suggest if someone said to you during the winter that the office can reach 5C what sort of heater would you supply if you were managment ?

'Can reach 5C'? You do have a strange way with terms. Do you mean 'it
can go as low as 5C' or 'It can be 5C' . You 'reach for the sky' or
'the temperature reached 40C today'.

Anyway, as it stands it was a stupid / pointless question. From
knowledge of the limitation of your scenario, an oil filled radiator
is about the only option. Now, you have the choice of a good / large
panel rad that can actually dissipate whatever input level you set it
to without cycling or, maybe two cheaper heaters set at an input level
they can actually dissipate continuously.

What you have there is a car that has too big an engine and you think
leaving it there spinning it's wheels is the most effective way to get
from A to B.

Don't forget that convection and fan heaters have been banned.

Mate, I 'don't forget' any of it. I don't because I fully understand
the situation and have done from the exact instance you mentioned any
of it. I'm like that ... and how I can catch you out every time you
try to squirm out of stuff.

p.s. We currently have the choice of *two* 450W mini oil filled rads,
or *one* 600W slimline panel.

The two mini rads have been on full since about 9 this morning and
it's only just reached 20 DegC in here now. The slimline panel would
have had it up to 20 DegC much quicker.

I wonder why that is the case ... ?
