Performance

Finned Tube Elements output will depend on tube diameter and number of elements. The element housing will have a significant effect on output. To obtain the maximum output, elements must be housed to maximise the air flowing over the fins and minimise air flow by-passing the heating fins. A maximum dimension of 6mm each side is recommended i.e. the maximum casing width should be the width of the element plus 12mm.

Varying the stack height i.e. the dimension between the bottom of the fins and the air outlet, will also affect output. Varying the panel height but not changing the stack height will not affect the output.
