In the case of a cast iron radiator, you would vary the flow of steam or hot water to it by throttling the valve that feeds it. In the case of a "convector", you would vary the quantity of air that passes over the coil by adjusting the air shutter. lc
The purpose of a steam radiator valve is to control the amount of steam that enters the radiator, thus regulating the heat output of the radiator. The valve opens and closes to allow more or less steam to flow through the radiator, adjusting the temperature in the room.
In your car, the radiator transfers its heat to the surroundings - the air. [Strictly, this is conduction, but don't quibble. This is mechanic talk.] In your room, the radiator does radiate heat into the room.
To turn off the radiator in your room, locate the valve on the side of the radiator and turn it clockwise until it is fully closed. This will stop the flow of hot water and the radiator will gradually cool down.
A hot water radiator heats a room by circulating hot water through a series of pipes inside the radiator. The hot water transfers its heat to the metal of the radiator, which then radiates warmth into the room through convection and radiation. This warms the air in the room and increases the overall temperature.
A hot-water radiator heats a room by transferring heat from the hot water flowing through the radiator to the metal surface of the radiator. The metal then radiates this heat into the surrounding air in the room through a combination of conduction and convection. As the air near the radiator heats up, it rises, creating a natural circulation of warm air in the room.

The radiator hummed contentedly, sending warmth out into the chilly room like a gentle embrace.
A wall steam radiator works by using steam from a boiler to heat metal fins inside the radiator. The heat from the fins warms the air around the radiator, which then rises and circulates throughout the room. This process efficiently heats the room by using convection to distribute the warm air evenly.
A thermostat should kick on when the temperature in a room goes above or below the set temperature to regulate and maintain the desired temperature.
There are two main types of steam radiator valves: thermostatic and manual. Thermostatic valves use a temperature-sensitive element to automatically adjust the flow of steam based on the room's temperature. Manual valves, on the other hand, require manual adjustment to control the steam flow. Both types help regulate the amount of steam entering the radiator, which in turn controls the heat output and maintains a comfortable temperature in the room.
A thermostatic radiator valve is a valve that is connected to the hot water heating system. It can control the room temperature by regulating the amount of water that goes into the radiator. The valve is able to control this by sensing the temperature of the air.
