Heizkörper

Heizkörper, also known as radiators, are devices designed to transfer heat into a room or space. They are commonly used in central heating systems and typically operate by circulating hot water or steam from a boiler. The heat generated by the boiler is transferred to the water or steam, which then flows through the pipes to the heizkörper. Inside the heizkörper, the hot water or steam comes into contact with the metal surfaces, which then radiate heat into the surrounding air. This heated air rises and circulates, warming the entire room.

Heizkörper come in various designs and materials. Cast iron radiators are a traditional option, known for their durability and ability to retain heat for extended periods. Steel radiators are more common today, offering a sleeker appearance and faster heating times. Aluminum radiators are lightweight and highly efficient, transferring heat quickly. Panel radiators are a popular choice for modern homes, featuring flat surfaces that blend seamlessly with decor. The size and type of heizkörper needed depend on the size of the room and the desired heating output. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for optimal performance and longevity of a heizkörper.
