Dimplex launches its wall mounted Smartrad range

Dimplex is expanding its portfolio of low carbon heating solutions with the launch of Smartrad wall mounted fan convector radiators.

The Smartrad range offers a cost effective, responsive and energy efficient alternative to underfloor heating or conventional radiators for heat pump systems.

The Smartrad range is suitable for installations in existing buildings and also for new builds.

Smartrad offers effective performance at water temperatures as low as 40C, making it suited for use with heat pumps as part of a complete renewable energy system by allowing CoP to be optimised to reduce running costs and CO2 emissions.

For properties with condensing boilers, the lower flow temperatures allow the boiler to operate in its most effective range.

Smartrad is currently available in a stylish twist to the classic metal radiator design with white or black glass finishes soon to be added to the range.

Smartrad contains less than three per cent of the water volume of a conventional steel radiator and its low thermal mass makes it particularly responsive, with a room warm-up time around four times faster than a conventional radiator with comparable output.

It also responds quickly to changes in room temperature from incidental heat gains such as solar gain.

Integral electronic thermostatic control gives automatic control over fan speed output and room temperature stability.

For advanced levels of control, Smartrad is compatible with optional plug-in 24 hour or seven day programmers to tailor the functionality to closely match the user's occupancy pattern.

The range is available in four sizes with nominal outputs ranging from 0.8kW to 1.8kW.

However, with the flexibility of significant output variations based on fan speed and water flow temperature, the range spans applications from 0.4kW to 5kW.

All models in the range have dimensions of 500x140mm, with width varying from 500mm to 910mm, dependent on output.
