In home heating, the selection and installation position of radiators directly determine the heating effect and user experience. Many families have encountered the problem of "wasting energy but not keeping warm" due to choosing the wrong model or installing it in the wrong position. Now let's elaborate on the correct selection methods and scientific installation positions for radiators to help you accurately avoid pitfalls. When choosing radiator panels, three core dimensions should be accurately grasped. First, look at the material. The water quality in centralized heating is relatively hard. Copper-aluminum composite radiators are preferred as they are corrosion-resistant, conduct heat quickly, and are suitable for long-term use. Self-heating families can choose steel radiators, which have high heating efficiency and good cost performance, but they need to be well maintained with full water to prevent rust. If you are renovating an old house and are looking for a retro style, cast iron radiators, which are heat-resistant and have a long service life, are a good choice. Secondly, consider the power. It should be calculated based on the area of the house. Each square meter requires 120-150W of heat. For example, for a 15-square-meter bedroom, a 2000-2250W radiator can be selected to avoid insufficient heating due to insufficient power. Finally, consider the scene. For the bathroom, choose a special bathroom model that is moisture-proof and rust-proof, which can balance heating and drying. For children's rooms, it is preferred to choose heat-resistant materials with rounded corners to prevent bumps and knocks. The installation location follows the principle of "close to the cold air inlet and avoiding obstructions", and different Spaces have their own considerations. The living room should be prioritized to be installed on the wall close to the balcony or floor-to-ceiling Windows. This is the main entrance for cold air, and the radiator can heat the cold air immediately, forming a natural circulation. Avoid the obstruction of sofas and cabinets, and reserve 10 to 15 centimeters of space for heat dissipation. It is recommended that the bedroom be installed opposite the head of the bed or near the bedroom door to avoid direct blowing on the head of the bed causing dry mouth and throat. If there is a bay window, it can be installed below the bay window to save space and not affect the placement of furniture. The kitchen should be located on a blank wall near the window, far from the cooking area of the stove, to prevent oil stains from adhering and affecting heat dissipation. The bathroom should be installed above the toilet or beside the bathroom cabinet, 15 to 20 centimeters above the ground, and away from water sources such as the showerhead to ensure safety. In addition, when choosing radiator panels, one should also pay attention to the brand reputation and after-sales service
