The main difference between a single panel radiator and a double panel radiator lies in their design and heating capacity.
-
Design:
- Single Panel Radiator: A single panel radiator consists of a single metal panel with convection fins attached to the back. It typically has a sleek and slim profile, making it suitable for smaller spaces or rooms with limited wall space.
- Double Panel Radiator: A double panel radiator, also known as a double convector radiator, has two parallel panels with convection fins attached to both sides. This design increases the surface area available for heat emission, resulting in improved heat output.
-
Heating Capacity:
- Single Panel Radiator: Single panel radiators are generally less powerful than double panel radiators. They have fewer heating elements and a smaller surface area for heat exchange. They are suitable for smaller rooms or areas with lower heat requirements.
- Double Panel Radiator: Double panel radiators provide greater heat output due to their larger surface area and additional heating elements. They are more efficient at heating larger rooms or areas that require higher levels of warmth.
