The table below shows recommended
fi gures that will help to calculate the power
requirement in W/m2 or W/m3 to install
GABARRÓN Inertia Thermal Radiators.
The main variables for the calculation are
three optional types of insulation in the house
that have to be considered together with
different climatic zones in the UK.
To calculate the theoretical heat loss in a room
it is necessary to multiply the required fi gure
in the chart by the calculated room volume
or surface.We install the inertia thermal
radiator with the power immediately above to
theoretical power obtained.
In bedrooms and kitchens it is possible to
reduce the theoretical power required by 20%.
But in the same way, all rooms located in a
top fl oor would be recommended to increase
the theoretical power by 20% too.
These fi gures have been developed to get a
comfort temperature of 21ºC.
