How many btu's in 4 foot hydronic baseboard heater?
You will need to give more information. The Btu's of baseboard is determined by the water temperature and the type and size of the element. Copper fin tube (copper pipe with aluminum fins over it) heats up quick and loses heat quickly it also has many diameters of element (copper tube). Most common in residential is 1/2", 3/4" & 1" ID (the OD will be 1/8" or so larger). There is also Cast iron baseboard that heats up slowly and cools off slowly (this is a much more even and comfortable heat). You should never mix and match cast iron radiation and copper radiation of the same circuit it will cause large temperature swings in conditioned area. Tell us what the boiler temperature is set to and what the type of radiation is and you'll get an answer.
How many btu's in office water-cooler?
There are no BTUs in an office water-cooler. But you can calculate how many BTUs are removed by the cooler. One BTU or British Thermal Unit is the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. There for when you remove one BTU you are lowering one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit. So if you know how many pounds of water you have and the temperature of the water you start with and the temperature of the water comming out of the cooler you can calculate how many BTUs the cooling unit of the water cooler has removed. BTU=Temp1 - Temp 2 X LB water
How do I calculate the amount of cement needed?
First, things are not made of cement- they are made of concrete- which consists of cement, sand, gravel and water. Mix them using 1 part cement, 1.5 parts sand, 3 parts gravel. To calculate how much CONCRETE you need, multiply depth X width X length in inches, then divide by 1728. This will tell you the number of cubic FEET of concrete. To get the number of cubic YARDS, divide the cubic feet by 27. If you are using packaged concrete mix (Sakrete is one) then an 80 lb bag makes 0.6 cubic feet of concrete. NOTE: If you are working with concrete for the first time- do not add too much water (weakens the concrete) and do not get wet concrete on bare skin- it will cause a chemical burn. Wash it off promptly if you do.
What is difference between objectives and functions?
The objective of a water supply it to get water into houses. The function of the pipe it to carry that water and the function of a tap is to control the flow of the water.
How many btu's would it take to heat 120 gallons of water to 210 degrees f in 2 hours?
To calculate the BTUs required to heat 120 gallons of water to 210°F, first determine the temperature rise needed. Assuming the initial water temperature is around 60°F, you would need to raise it 150°F (210°F - 60°F). The BTU calculation is: [ \text{BTUs} = \text{gallons} \times \text{temperature rise} \times 8.34 ] So, [ \text{BTUs} = 120 \text{ gallons} \times 150°F \times 8.34 \approx 1,500,600 \text{ BTUs}. ] To heat this in 2 hours, you would need about 750,300 BTUs per hour.
How can I effectively repair baseboard water damage in my home?
To effectively repair baseboard water damage in your home, start by removing the damaged baseboard and allowing the area to dry completely. Then, replace the damaged section with a new baseboard, ensuring it is properly sealed and painted to match the rest of the baseboard. Make sure to address the source of the water damage to prevent future issues.
How can I fix a bleed baseboard radiator that is not heating up properly?
To fix a bleed baseboard radiator that is not heating up properly, you can start by bleeding the air out of the system. This involves using a radiator key to open the bleed valve on the radiator and releasing any trapped air. Make sure to have a container to catch any water that may come out. Once the air is released, you can then check the water level in the system and adjust it if necessary. If the radiator still does not heat up properly after bleeding, you may need to check for any blockages in the pipes or valves and clear them out. If the issue persists, it may be best to consult a professional plumber for further assistance.
Are baseboard heaters very reliable and where can I buy them at?
Baseboard heaters are an excellent way to heat your home. There are two main types, water radiator and electric radiator. Both types draw in cool air from the floor, heat it, and then force it up the walls. This creates circulation in the room and allows an even heat. They can be purchased from local home centers like Lowe's or Home Depot.
How to bleed a baseboard radiator properly?
To bleed a baseboard radiator properly, follow these steps: Turn off the heating system. Locate the bleed valve on the radiator. Place a towel or container underneath the valve to catch any water. Use a radiator key or screwdriver to slowly open the valve. Listen for hissing sound, which indicates air escaping. Once water starts to flow steadily, close the valve. Check the pressure gauge on the boiler and refill if necessary. Turn the heating system back on and check for any leaks. Remember to bleed your radiators regularly to ensure efficient heating.
Can a water heater be used to supply water to baseboard heating?
Yes. You might want to check to see what recommended temperature is for water entering the baseboard units and insure the water heater will meet that. Something else to consider is that there will need to be a pump in the water circuit to circulate the water. A tank type water heater would also work to store hot water until needed by the baseboard units in an instance where heat might be generated at a time not needed by the baseboard units.
How do you add water to baseboard?
You would add it to the boiler
Is half inch water line sufficient for water supply for forced hot water baseboard heat?
Yes, 1/2 inch supply to fill boiler will work fine. Piping going to baseboard heaters needs to be sized properly. 1/2 inch piping to baseboard heaters not recommended. Most hot water baseboard heaters piped with 3/4 pipe.
Can outlets be located over water baseboard heaters?
sometimes
How hot should the water be in a hot water baseboard heat system?
About 150 deg.
If there is water in the radiator then what?
there is supposed to be water in the radiator. your radiator is supposed to be evenly mix 50/50 with radiator fluid and water, preferably distilled water.
How do I add water to a low radiator with out a radiator cap?
There is a water reservoir tank that goes to the radiator that you can add the water to.
What are some important considerations to keep in mind when installing a radiator in a bathroom?
When installing a radiator in a bathroom, it is important to consider the size of the radiator to ensure it fits the space, the heat output to adequately warm the room, the location for optimal heat distribution, and the safety precautions to prevent water damage.
