Smart Radiator Upgrade (Super Smart with Natural Gas)
Published in 2013
In heating upgrades, most attention is paid to the boiler. When upgrading to HR++-boilers (eff of 107%) however, difficulties may occur since the high efficiency boilers are designed for water temperatures around 40°C, while the old radiators are designed for water temperatures higher than 60°C. The resulting mismatch may lead to reduced performance, a larger carbon footprint and increased annual costs. By engineering a smart, sensor controlled, forced ventilation system for the radiators about 15-25% of the annual heating costs of an average Dutch household can be saved.
