Abstract

The economic use of nonrenewable energy has become more important in recent years. One of the works done for this purpose is thermal insulation. Thermal insulation is the process of increasing the efficient use of thermal energy. Panel radiator is adjacent to the building wall and direct heat loss occurs from the outer surface to the wall facing surface of the panel radiator. This research was done to minimize the heat loss from the outer surface of the panel radiator. Firstly, the external heat loss from the panel radiator is calculated according to the uninsulated radiator. Then heat loss calculation was made for the panel radiator covered with polyurethane outer insulation material. In calculations with independent variables, the isolated panel radiator was found to provide 122.18 joules of energy per second into the room. This result shows that the outer surface insulated panel radiator provides significant energy efficiency.
