The example below indicates a direct comparison of energy consumption between a local heat source appliance (radiator) and energy efficient Elpan/Wanpan radiant baseboard heating system when used to provide the total Heat Enclosure.
COMPARISON OF ENERGY CONSUMPTION – LOCAL HEAT SOURCE AND HEAT ENCLOSURE
From laboratory and practical test experience, if either the Elpan (electric) or Wanpan (hydronic) skirting board radiant heating systems are installed in the way indicated above required energy consumption may be reduced by a factor of 0.8 against that considered necessary for local heat appliances (radiators etc).
Local heat source rated at 6kW (effect: poor, uneven heat distribution)
Heat Enclosure rated at 4.8kW (effect: uniform heat distribution)
Energy saving with Heat Enclosure 1.2 kW = 20% (0.8 factor)
