   WORKING OUT YOUR POWER USAGE

     In a room with normal ceiling height of 2.40-2.50m, you can work out the necessary heating power on the basis of 80-85W per square meter of floor area. For other ceiling heights, work out the necessary heating power on the basis of 30W per cubic meter of room volume. These recommendations apply to UK climate and also depend on the standard of the house. Ask your local electrical installation contractor or energy advisory service for advice on how to work out the power requirements for your house and climate. Please ensure that the radiators you choose will fit in the desired location.

Ex: Room from 8 to 10 sq m = 1 Radiator 900 Watts

Ex: Living Room 18 to 22 sq m = 1 Radiator 900 Watts + 1 Radiator 1200 Watts

  Kalirel manufacture a revolutionary electric heating system that uses a tungsten element immersed in a thermodynamic heat retaining fluid that favours optimum circulation and quickly diffuses heat on to 100% of the exchange surface of the radiator, thus providing the "permanent hot point effect" to achieve high levels of efficiency and economy. 

    Every Kalirel radiator has its own thermostat to provide total control in every room. Each radiator can be operated independently and/or by a choice of programmers. Therefore, not only does the Kalirel range offer a fantastic complete central heating solution but it is also the perfect option for additions to any system for extensions, loft conversions and conservatories.

    When operational, the radiator draws full power until the desired temperature is reached, power consumption is then ceased. Due to the thermodynamic fluid, the radiator reaches temperature in a similar time to a traditional "wet system" radiator and retains the heat for a long period of time. Thus, power consumption is kept to a minimum.

    When the room temperature drops below the desired level, the thermostat senses this and operates the element to draw more power. As the element already has a "charge" (e.g. - a 1000w radiator may have a 500w "charge" remaining), the radiator will only draw the exact amount of power required to bring the temperature back to the desired level (e.g. - a 1000w radiator drawing only 500w power).

    Subsequently, by the radiator sensing when temperature is reached, ceasing power consumption and then only drawing the exact amount of power as and when required, it uses power consumption in the most efficient way possible.

Kalirel Running Cost Example

    This running cost example provided by kalirel is based on a 3 bedroom house of 100m2 with a good standard of insulation and a comfort temperature level of 200C using 9 x 1000w (1kw) radiators.

The electricity rate is based on 7.5 pence per unit - 1000w or 1kw for 1 hour = 1KWh = 1 unit.

*Please check with your electricity provider for your tariff to enable you to calculate costs accurately for your installation.

3 hours of power consumption provides 12 hours of heat @ 200C x 9kw = 27KWh / day x 7.5 pence = £2.03 per day

2 hours of power consumption provides 8 hours of heat @ 200C x 9kw = 18KWh / day x 7.5 pence = £1.35 per day

1 hour of power consumption provides 4 hours of heat @ 200C x 9kw = 9KWh / day x 7.5 pence = £0.68 per day
