1. General information
1.1. This manual
This application manual is intended for engineers,
architects, contractors, and installers. It provides
specifi cation on panel radiator and towel rack models,
sizing information, and system layout assistance for
hydronic heating systems with panel radiators.
This manual describes the basic operation of the
Buderus panel radiators, thermostatic controls and piping
accessories. It also provides rough in dimensions and
installation procedures.
Radiator heating capacities are listed by model, height
and length and are based on different supply water
temperatures.
For added savings, it is recommended to run panel
radiator systems at reduced temperatures. When using a
condensing boiler, the system should be designed so that
the return water temperature makes the boiler condense
except on the coldest days of the year.
Dew point fl ue gases:
• Natural Gas: 130°F (55°C)
• #2 Fuel Oil: 118°F (48°C)
General guide lines are discussed with respect to sizing
and radiator selection. The design and radiator selection
process for one and two pipe heat distribution systems
are provided including examples. Quick and easy “rules
of thumb” for trouble free installation and operation are
presented.
1.2. Standards, regulations and directives
It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that the
system corresponds to all federal, state and local
regulations and rules.
