Radiation is a term used to describe transfer of heat energy from one medium to another which can take place even in vacuum. In other words, it turns out that radiation does not require a third medium for it to operate. Moreover, radiators were built initially to cool down a system of fluids by taking their heat and emitting it to the surrounding. Radiators pass through a heat source, usually water, which radiates heat to surrounding air. Air when heated rises up and is replaced by new air and the process continues, eventually warming the entire room. This process is also known as convection.We aim to make your life easy by doing it for you at Plumbers Dagenham. Heres what we would like you to know before you take any decision.
