Smith's Environmental Products claims that its new Eco-Powerad, which combines the aesthetics of radiator design with the company’s renowned fan convector technology to deliver comparable outputs from a much smaller unit, could make serious in-roads into the UK radiator market.

Available in four models, producing 0.5kW, 1kW, 1.5kW and 2kW at 50°C respectively, the Eco-Powerad looks and installs like a radiator but is actually a far more energy efficient product: a low cost fan convector that is simple to install and is designed to be installed as part of a renewable heating system.

Jim Bennett, Sales and Marketing Director at Smith's Environmental Products commented: "The Eco-Powerad is an extremely energy efficient low surface temperature appliance, which uses only five per cent of the water content of an equivalent radiator. This means that it can operate at system water temperatures as low as 40°C, enabling a renewable energy source, such as a heat pump, to operate more efficiently. The product also has a higher SAP rating – over 7.5% better – which allows house builders to reduce costs elsewhere.

"From a pricing perspective, the Eco-Powerad offers specifiers with a much more competitively priced alternative to radiators."

Suitable for existing and newly built domestic or commercial properties, fan convectors use simple and proven technology to put heat where required, when required, ensuring good air temperature distribution. Their low water content enables them to run at lower water temperatures, such as those used by renewable technologies.
