DIYbanter - View Single Post - I want the smallest possible radiator. Are there any almost silent fan assisted designs available?

And?

And it is an anecdote which was used to illustrate that CH radiators
that work by natural convection & radiation are not the same as
radiators that are designed to use forced convection to dissipate heat.
Horses for courses.

If you think that supports your case...

What case? I have no case. If you feel an urge to stick fans on CH
radiators, go right ahead. Personally, I wouldn't bother. There are
better ways of making fan convectors. What any fool can do for a
quid.......

Its not worth getting into, you dont understand basic thermodynamics.

Ooooh, Hissssssy, Hissy!

Strangely, the one book that was on my desk when I read that comment
was 'Applied Thermodynamics for Engineering Technologists' by Eastop &
McConkey. It is, in fact, my second copy which I bought from E-Bay, the
first was bought in 1976 and disintegrated from excessive use a couple
of years ago. Nor was it out for use in this discussion; my son's Tech
homework was about the R101 & I had refreshed my acquaintance with the
perfect gas laws in order to work out the lift of the R100, from the
figures for the weight & volume given in Nevil Shute's autobiography
'Slide Rule'.

If I gave a crap, I might have taken umbrage there.
