S36 -- Hydronic Heat-Distributing Units and Radiators (SI)

Radiators, convectors, and baseboard and finned-tube units are heat-distributing devices used in low-temperature and steam water-heating systems. They supply heat through a combination of radiation and convection and maintain the desired air temperature and/or mean radiant temperature in a space without fans. In low-temperature systems, radiant panels are also used. Units are inherently self-adjusting in the sense that heat output is based on temperature differentials; cold spaces receive more heat and warmer spaces receive less heat.
