Which radiators are suitable for low temperature heating?

Our houses are increasingly better insulated, which has many benefits. Not only does it enhance thermal and acoustic comfort in the home; you can also heat much more energy-efficiently. In this article we tell you about the benefits of low temperature heating (LTH) so you can find out which radiators are most suitable for LTH.

Low temperature heating: only beneficial

Thanks to our excellently insulated houses, a radiator can now operate at a capacity of 55/45/20°C - instead of the traditional 75/65/20°C - without giving up comfort. You do not need a larger radiator to create the same pleasant indoor climate with a lower temperature. LTH gives you a better return and also a lower energy bill. Your energy consumption can in fact drop by up to 30 percent!

But remember: optimal insulation is essential in combination with LTH. That is why this type of heating is ideally suited to new homes. In addition, you must have a heat generator (such as a boiler, solar water heater or heat pump) that can handle low flow temperatures.

How to choose an LTH-proof heating element?

Heating elements for LTH must have a large surface area so that enough heat can be emitted to the air. For example, you can opt for radiators (all Vasco radiators can be connected to a low temperature system) or for convectors, such as the Niva ventilo-convector with which you can heat and cool. Finally, wall, floor or ceiling heating are also suitable for LTH.
