The influence of different geometrical dimensions of convectors on the heat transfer from panel radiators

Abstract Increase in total heat output of panel radiators could play an important role domestic energy saving, where convectors (convection fins) a key role. Hence, it is to obtain the best possible design convectors, order increase radiators. In this sense, numerical study has been performed show effects different geometrical dimensions on transfer used radiators, highest output. Firstly, simulation data were verified by analytical results, and afterwards, parametric studies for single convector mounted constant temperature wall, natural convective modelled. The height, sheet thickness, trapezoidal distance between opposing tip width, vertical location cut-off ratio have considered. results showed that increases with thickness height. However, consumed metal material amount as well. From manufacturing point view, should be considered at same time. On other hand, increases, above certain value decreases. becomes almost value. present guide change internal reduce costs.
