Radiators for heat pumps

Ground source heat pump systems, air source heat pump systemsand water source heat pump systems requirelarger radiators than those used on conventional boiler heating systems. This is becauseheat pump systemsoperate at lower watertemperatures.Heat pumps operate between 40and 50 degrees Celsius, whereasconventional boilers operate between60 to 80 degrees Celsius.Radiators on a heat pump system, operating at these lower water temperatures, willproduce around 30% of the heat output of theequivalent radiators on a conventional system.

Dave Wood, of Feature Radiators, the UK's leading radiator specialist, commented:

"In our experience, most heat pump design engineersfavour aluminium radiators as being the "radiator of choice" for these type of installations. Aluminium radiatorsfor instancehave a very low water content and the excellent heat conducting properties of aluminium gives these radiators a rapid reaction time: achieving full radiator temperature up to three times as fast as steel panel radiators. Aluminium radiators aren't the only radiators suitable: many contemporary steel column and tubular radiators, havealso been used with great success on heat pump systems."

Also it is always recommendedthat you employ the services of a consultant heating engineer to design your heatpump system; the cost involved will be paid for in reduced operating costs in a short period of time. Heat pumps are great, but full system design is imperative if the full benefits are to be enjoyed.
