no, its a common misconception, it may be called a radiator but it doesn't radiate heat, it convects heat, from the hot water that is piped around it

How does heater makes the whole room warm?

The heater contains a resistor. When high voltage is passed it produce a large amount of heat the blower situated in the heater blows this heat which diffuses in the room to make the room hot.


What does latent heat causes?

Latent heat has the ability to do something in a given time period. Take a water heated radiator, latent heat has the ability to make the radiator warm or hot according to the temprature of the water. It will continue to do this until the water stops flowing through the radiator and the radiator begins to cool.


An example of a good radiator?

One example of a good radiator is the De'Longhi EW7707CM Oil-Filled Radiator. It features multiple heat settings, a programmable thermostat, and a silent operation. Additionally, its durable construction and energy-efficient design make it an effective choice for heating small to medium-sized rooms.

If you set pool heat pump at temperature above the temperature you want will the pool heat up quicker For example setting it at 100 when you want pool at 80 quick?

It works this way. Even if you could set the thermostat at 200 it will not heat the water any quicker. It sounds as if you have an undersized heater. A larger heater will heat the water faster if your system can upgrade to the larger size heater. Your house will not heat up any faster if you set the thermostat to maximum. It is the output capacity of the heater that determines how fast it will heat. What dictates heater size is: the size of the gas line. the length of the gas line run from the meter to the heater. the size of the meter. how many GPM the pump is producing. the GPM capacity of the filter. the size of the plumbing in you pool ~ 1.5"; 2"; 3" total gallons in the pool. are among a few. Just common sense here...... k

Is there a fuse to make heat for a 2002 f150 have heat running through the hoses but no heat from the fan just cold air help.?

First thing to check is that your coolant level is full in the radiator. Low coolant will cause exactly the problem you describe. If the coolant level is okay there are a few things that can cause the heater not to work. A bad control panel, a heat thermister (usually located on the heater box under the hood) some have a fuse that controls the heater but most just have a fuse for the heater fan. It is also possible you have clogged heater hoses or a clogged heater. Also check the thermostat to make sure it is not stuck open. On a 2002 you should probably have a check engine light if the thermostat is stuck.
