A "double radiator Type 22" refers to a more powerful and efficient design of panel radiator compared to the Type 11. Here's a breakdown:
Double: This indicates that the radiator has two panels. Each panel is a flat metal surface that radiates heat into the room.
Type 22: This configuration means the radiator has two panels and two convectors (the metal fins attached between the panels to increase the surface area and, therefore, the heat output).
Characteristics of a Double Type 22 Radiator:
Design: It has two panels and two convectors, making it thicker and more powerful than single-panel radiators like Type 11. The extra panel and convector boost the radiator's ability to heat a room efficiently.
Heat Output: Provides higher heat output compared to Type 11 radiators, making it suitable for larger rooms or spaces that require more heating.
Size and Profile: While more efficient, a Type 22 radiator is thicker and heavier due to the double panels and convectors. This can make it bulkier on the wall but also more effective at heating.
Type 22 radiators are a popular choice for rooms that need higher heat output, such as living rooms or larger bedrooms, where a more powerful radiator is necessary to maintain a comfortable temperature.
