I have the storage radiators too and agree with Patsy: very difficult to judge how the next day will be temp wise.Re: Storage Radiators
The danger is with storage radiators is to set the input too high. Under the top of a modern storage radiator is a long flap which opens and closes based on the position of a bi-metal strip. As the bricks inside the heater warm up, the bi-metal strip straightens up taking downward pressure off the flap allowing it to close. This then acts like any radiator getting the heat from the casing. As the bricks begin to cool down during the course of the day, the strip begins to bend and presses on the flap allowing it to open allowing the heater to work like a convector. The amount the flap can open is controlled by the output knob - set at 5 or 6 the flap can open too much and let the heat out too quickly so there's no heat in the evening. Left at 1, the flap would never open so heat can't get out and as the case would have cooled down won't act as a radiator either. If the input is left set too high, the bricks inside the heater won't cool down and the flap would never open.Re: Storage Radiators
