Heat Loss

*In order to generate a realistic maximum heat loss calculation of an average living room, we have used this model and used the following data:-

 
Room type:
Window area:
Room Size:
Room above:
Ceiling height:
Air changes:
Wall type:
Outside air temperature:
Floor type:
Surroundings:
No. of o/side walls:
Required room temp:

Maximum Heat loss Calculation: 1775 watts


Storage Heater

To heat this space using a Storage heater you would need a 3.400KW (input) unit outputting at maximum (2KW)

This unit would draw electricity for 7 hours at rate of 3.4KW = 23.80KW off-peak rate @ 0.0844c per unit = €2.01


Farho Radiator

To heat this space using a Farho radiator you would need a 1.210KW (input) outputting at a maximum (1.925KW)

This unit would draw electricity for 5 hours at rate of 1.21KW = 6.05KW normal rate@
@ 0.1597c per unit = €0.97



This gives a daily saving using the Farho product of over €1 per day ex vat
 

Farho radiators combine many of the advantages of other heating systems
FARHO radiators represent the fruits of several years’ research in the field of heating. They are characterised by combining the majority of the advantages of current systems given that they employ the most reliable features in terms of optimal heat emission (aluminium radiators) and energy source (electricity).
As a result of their high level of heat transmission by radiation and convection, they provide excellent heat performance, making the most of the electricity consumed.
The aluminium radiation elements are identical to those that are used for water heating, thus they offer numerous advantages:
They are static, light, east to fit and do not change with time, thus they are conservation and maintenance free.
They provide a high level of heat emission, some 150 kcal/h per element.
Several sizes can be manufactured in order to fit in with room size, which enables the client to have direct and instantaneous heating in all rooms, strictly adjusted to his or her real heating requirements at any given moment in time.
