Basics of Radiator Covers Our radiator covers use all three heating methods to provide greatest
possible comfort, highest possible heating efficiency. Convection moves currents of heated air from a heat source to other areas in
the room. Warm air expands and moves upward; heavier cold air replaces it.
Radiator covers from Beautiful Radiators .com use convection for optimum
efficiency by circulating air directly to the room’s comfort zone. Conduction is heat transmission using a conductor. Transfer occurs where a
warm object heats a cooler one that’s in direct contact with it. Radiator covers
from Beautiful Radiators .com precisely control conduction, protecting everyone
from radiator burns. Yet the tops of the radiator covers are warm – warm enough,
that they work beautifully as food warmers! This unexpected use came to our attention when a long-term customer ordered
radiator covers for her dining room that were 3” deeper than what was needed
to enclose the radiators. When we asked her about the extra-deep enclosure,
she told us that the top of her radiator covers in the kitchen worked beautifully to
keep foods warm, and she wanted the same advantage for her dining room! Radiation is heat waves traveling from a warm object to a cooler one without
actual contact. Heating is direct. Heated objects emit warming rays called
radiation heat waves. Radiator covers from Beautiful Radiators .com maximize
heat wave warmth. The illustration at left shows how radiator covers from Beautiful Radiators .com
control and increase warmth protection; In addition to projecting warmth into the
comfort zone, they reduce heat loss and multiply the warming effect of heat
waves by reflection. |
