What is an Aluminum Radiator? Advantages and Features
Aluminum radiatorare modern heating elements made from aluminum alloy used in heating systems. Aluminum radiators produced in Turkey under the EUROTERM brand stand out from alternatives such as steel and cast iron with their high thermal conductivity, lightweight structure, and long lifespan.
The Working Principle of an Aluminum Radiator
Hot water coming from the boiler or central heating system passes through the inner channels of the radiator, transferring heat to the aluminum surface. The high thermal conductivity of aluminum (approximately 200 W/m·K) allows heat to spread into the room very quickly. Thus, compared to steel radiators 30% faster heating elde edilir.
Advantages of EUROTERM Aluminum Radiators
- Lightweight structure: Aluminum is 3 times lighter than steel. It offers ease of installation and does not add extra load to the building.
- High thermal efficiency: Requires much less water volume for the same heat output; this means the boiler operates less.
- Does not rust or corrode: The aluminum surface protects itself by forming an oxide layer. Paint peeling does not occur even in wet environments.
- 200+ RAL color options: EUROTERM radiators can be produced in all RAL codes upon order.
- 5-year warranty: All EUROTERM products come with a 5-year guarantee.
- 16 bar pressure test: Each product is shipped after passing a 16 bar pressure test at the factory.
