I am being told that vertical radiators are not as efficient for the same volumetric flow as horizontal radiators.
Surely though if less heat is lost then where is it going to? It may take
longer but in the end it will get away, and all tat should happen is that the boiler will not be needed to be on as much, but then some areas of the house might be colder than others.

For conventional central heating radiators most heat-loss is through convection. Air is a poor conductor. It seems there is less overall air flow for a tall radiator than long for a radiator with the same area and construction. So hardly nonsense. |

So where does the heat loss go other than in the room..? stays in the hot water and is emitted by a radiator into a different room. |

It may take longer but in the end it will get away, Nope. and all tat should happen is that the boiler will not be needed to be on as much, Yes. but then some areas of the house might be colder than others. And the room wont be heated as well. "Fredxx" wrote in message ...
