Abstract

This article describes the laboratory for measurement of floor convectors in cooling and heating regime. The experimental setup used for the measurement is described. The heating and cooling power are calculated based on the mass flow and temperature measurement. Particle trace method is used for the visualization of the flow inside and outside the convector. A testing measurement is performed to evaluate the influence of the convector covering on the output power.
