Radiator manufacturer, Stelrad, says its two CPD programmes are now available online. The initial seminar offered to architects explains the technical differences between serial and parallel feed radiators, highlighting how new serial feed technology ‘helps reduce fuel costs and a property’s carbon footprint’.
It covers ‘radiator technology basics’, highlighting how current radiators operate using parallel feed technology, where both front and back panels heat up simultaneously.
Also explained is the serial feed technology used in the new Stelrad Radical range, where the front panel heats up first and quickest, and, via factory-fitted thermostatic valve controls, the heated water is allowed into the back panel only when a pre-determined temperature is reached.
The company said: “Because the water leaving the radiator is cooler than from a traditional parallel feed radiator, a condensing boiler will condense more efficiently.” The second seminar highlights Low Surface Temperature (LST) radiators
