The efficiency of Lotus Aluminum Plasma Radiator is achieved by passing 16 times less water than an ordinary radiator, while the entire surface of the radiator heats up to the same degree.
In fact, if there were a water circulation like in ordinary radiators, it would have to transfer 16 times more heat energy from the heating water, which would cause a significant difference between the inlet and outlet water temperatures.
For example, water entering in an iron radiator at 50°C may come out at 30°C. However the unique operating technology of Lotus Aluminum Plasma Radiator offers comfort and economy together by creating a difference of only 2 - 3 degrees inlet and outlet water temperature.
This is the best answer to your heating needs, as it provides very fast heat transfer, especially when used with low-temperature heating systems such as Heat Pumps.
Lotus Aluminum Plasma Radiators offer thermal efficiency well above the EN442 standard. it uses 1/16 less water for heating than other radiators with the same surface area, saving the same amount of energy used for heating. As long as the temperature difference between the radiator inlet and outlet water does not exceed a maximum of 2-3 degrees, the small amount of water used will be sufficient for a highly comfortable heating.
As an example, when you are heating your home by using 10 pieces of linear meter wide traditional radiator cores, an average of 6 liters of heating water passes through 1 meter of a classical aluminum, steel or iron radiator, whereas 1 meter of Lotus Aluminum Plasma Radiator requires only 0.30 cl of hot water to provide the same heat.
Roughly, without taking into account the water circulating in the pipes, while an average of 60 liters of water circulates in the system with 10 radiators, an average of 3 liters of heating water is needed in the Lotus Aluminum Plasma Radiators. It is obvious that a heater that heats 60 liters of water instead of 3 liters, will consume incomparably more energy, whether it is powered by natural gas, electricity or any fossil fuel.
In order to distribute heat equally on all surfaces, water inlet and outlet are provided from the bottom of the radiator, and since water only passes through the bottom connector line inside the radiator (see the graphic below), there will be no problems that will prevent heat dissipation such as calcification, corrosion, or clogging in the heat conducting parts of the radiator. Close-fitting sealed aluminum pipes are used in the radiators and are permanently strengthened by welding. It is very fast in reacting to temperature changes in the environment.
Electrostatic powder paint is used as standard on radiators. It works with cold plasma technology and meets your heating needs without any problems. In addition to its aesthetic appearance, being lighter than other aluminum radiators of similar sizes provides ease of installation.
Moreover, with its ability to fully heat up in a very short time, such as 1 minute, it provides the opportunity to turn off the boiler when it is not necessary.
Lotus Geenfinish Aluminum Plasma Radiators were subjected to heat performance and transfer testing comparison at
YILDIZ TECHNICAL UNIVERSITY and their difference with the classical aluminum radiators was demonstrated.
Aluminum Plasma Radiators are a newer technology that enhances the performance of standard aluminum radiators. Here's how they differ:
| Aspect | Aluminum Radiators | Aluminum Plasma Radiators |
|---|---|---|
| Material/Coating | Standard aluminum with high thermal conductivity and corrosion resistance. | Uses an advanced plasma coating technology on the surface of the aluminum. The plasma coating increases heat dissipation and prevents oxidation, improving performance. |
| Heat Transfer Efficiency | Very high thermal conductivity, quickly heats up and cools down. | Even higher heat transfer efficiency due to the enhanced surface properties created by the plasma coating, making heat dissipation more efficient and uniform. |
| Corrosion Resistance | Good corrosion resistance, but in harsh or wet conditions, aluminum can still corrode over time, especially from limescale buildup in hard water areas. | Superior corrosion resistance: The plasma coating further protects the radiator from corrosion, extending its lifespan in extreme environments, including exposure to hard water. |
| Durability | Moderate durability: Aluminum can be dented or scratched, though resistant to rust. | Higher durability: Plasma coating strengthens the surface, making the radiator more resistant to physical damage and environmental degradation. |
| Efficiency | Efficient, heats rooms quickly but needs continuous operation to maintain warmth. | More efficient than traditional aluminum radiators: The plasma coating improves thermal conductivity and heat distribution. |
| Cost | Lower cost, generally less expensive due to simpler manufacturing processes. | Higher cost due to the advanced plasma coating process and additional performance benefits. |
| Applications | Used in both residential and commercial heating applications where fast heating is needed. | Used in higher-end applications where performance, efficiency, and corrosion resistance are prioritized (e.g., high-demand environments). |
Aluminum Radiators: Great heat response, efficient, cost-effective, lightweight, and easy to install.
Aluminum Plasma Radiators: Enhanced performance with even better heat transfer efficiency, increased durability, and superior corrosion resistance, making them ideal for environments with high moisture or hard water. However, they come at a higher cost.
