Default I am being told that vertical radiators are not as efficient for the same volumetric flow as horizontal radiators.

suggests the optimum aspect ratio of the radiator is highly
dependent on wall height.


It doesnt even say that.


I'm sorry if you can't understand the paper.


Pathetic.

Even that is unclear.


The paper makes it clear.


But not for the horizontal and vertical radiators
we are discussing, they dont even consider those.


Read the paper again.


No need.


It isnt even relevant, its discussing the wall
treatment and the gap between the radiator
and the wall which isnt where most of the
heat from the radiator gets into the room.


And a function of radiator aspect ratio, ie height and width of
radiator.


A characteristic, actually. And given that they
dont even consider the aspect ratio that is seen
with the vertical radiators being discussed, you
you are face down in the mud, as always.

Even your earlier post whinged


More of your bare faced lies. I actually
rubbed you stupid nose in that fact.


that they only considered aspect ratios of 0.5 to 2.


Thats not the vertical radiators we are discussing
which are well outside that range.


So an agreement that efficacy in terms of aspect ration is dependent
on a number of circumstances,


Nope, what matters is the main effect, the vertical distance
the cold air moves over with both types of radiator. Thats
much worse with vertical radiators and is the reason they
dont work as well as horizontal radiators do.


The paper gives instances where that's not the case.


Not with what we are discussing the main movement
of heat from the side front of the radiator facing the
room when the only difference is whether the radiator
is horizontal or vertical it doesnt.

and that a "very wide horizontal radiator" wouldn't necessarily "work
better as far as heating the air is concerned".


For a completely different reason, the difference
in the surface temp at each end of the radiator.


So an admission there is an optimum aspect ratio,


Nope, because there isnt.


And the cited article suggests otherwise.


Like hell it does and it doesnt even discuss the main
way heat comes from the radiator into the room, via
the front of the radiator facing the room.

All the rest of your even sillier ****, lies and
flagrant dishonesty flushed where it belongs.
