Adding another radiator

gombeen01 · 2013-02-07 18:31:57

I want to add another radiator to an existing one. (Please check out the picture) Rad 1 is the new one and FIG A is the original configuration. Both of these rads are in the same room,the new one is under a bay window and is 300x2000. Will both rads heat evenly or will RAD 2 have to be hot half way down before RAD 1 starts…

Rad 1 is the new one and FIG A is the original configuration.
Both of these rads are in the same room,the new one is under a bay
window and is 300x2000.
Will both rads heat evenly or will RAD 2 have to be hot half way down
before RAD 1 starts to get hot?
Which configuration is best FIG B or FIG C or is ther another way to do it?

Fig B has the radiators in parallei. Fig C has them in series.

So Fig B is the way to go.
