Convector sizing
Convector sizing
(OP)
I need to size a convector/radiator that has not airflow (no direct fan). BTUH is known, material stainless steel 316, 11 gpm, and the convector should be roughly 36 inches wide and 24 inches tall. ANy help with sizing this would be helpfull.





RE: Convector sizing
What other sizes do you need apart from 36" wide and 24" high? If you need inlet / outlet nozzle sizes, you need to know the fluid you are cooling / heating (water, oil, refrigerant,...), specific heat, air wet bulb temperature (America, Europe, Africa...), wind or stagnant air, etc...For 11 gpm water, you'll be loking perhaps for 1"-1 1/2" NPS nozzles, depending on temperature also, but that's not engineering, is only a quick estimate on your information. Sorry, but you have to provide a lot more information to get a specific answer.
