Depends on how good you want it to work. The flow rates, energy contents ASO are very different between steam and water so you'd have a lot of tweaking to do to get it to work. But if there's no need to balance the system (no mix of radiators) then it should work, after a fashion.

What is the name of heaters that use hot water or steam?

Radiator


How does a radiator heat up a house?

A radiator heats up a house by using hot water or steam to transfer heat into a room. The hot water or steam flows through the radiator which then radiates heat into the surrounding air, warming up the room. This process helps to maintain a comfortable temperature within the house.


Why radiators hot on the bottom but cold at the top?

Radiators are typically hot at the bottom because that is where the hot water or steam enters the radiator. As the water or steam travels up through the radiator and gives off heat, it gradually cools down which is why the top of the radiator feels cooler. This process is important for efficient heat distribution in a room.


Does a radiator use electrical heat?

It depends what radiator you'd like to know about. If the one in a car the answer is yes. Other types of radiators use convection and radiation types of energy. I hope I helped. :) :) :) :) :)


How is the heating system radiator and conduction related?

A radiator in a heating system uses conduction to transfer heat from hot water or steam to the surrounding air. The hot water or steam flows through the radiator, heating up the metal fins, which then warms the air in the room through conduction.


What is a closed metal container containing hot water or steam?

A closed metal container containing hot water or steam is typically called a boiler. Boilers are used to generate heating or process steam for various industrial or residential applications. They operate by heating water to produce steam, which is then circulated for heating or mechanical power.


Why does a car radiator produce steam when broken down in the summer?

There are plenty of ways a car can break down without the radiator being a part of the cause. As for the reason you'd see steam from a radiator, it would escape if there was a leak in the radiator or the hoses, or if the cap was opened. The contents in a radiator are very hot - hot enough to produce steam.


Why does the water in a car radiator sometimes boil explosevly when the radiator cap is removed?

When the radiator cap is removed, the pressure inside the radiator is released suddenly, causing the water to boil explosively due to the rapid decrease in pressure. The water in the radiator is under pressure to raise its boiling point, and when that pressure is suddenly relieved, the water can boil and turn to steam very quickly, leading to an explosive release of steam and hot water.


What is hot water vapour known as?

Hot water vapor is known as steam.


What would cause smoke from the side of the radiator?

It is very doubtful that it is smoke. It is most likely steam. Either there is a pinhole leak in the radiator allowing hot coolant to escape that then vaporizes into steam when it hits the atmosphere... or there is something spilled on the radiator that steams when the radiator gets hot. Have the radiator pressure tested for leaks.


How is thermal energy from the steam transferred to the radiator?

Thermal energy from the steam is transferred to the radiator through conduction. The steam flows through pipes within the radiator, heating the metal walls. Heat is then transferred from the hot metal to the surrounding air in the room.


When my car gets hot there is white smoke coming from radiator?

That smoke is steam. You have a leak in the radiator or a hose. Take it to a mechanic.
