I see your logic Ryluer and I have no way of knowing whether something like that has been built into the rad. One large double panel radiator could have been mounted behind one of two sofas, or two double panel radiators could have been mounted on small areas of open wall.

Please Note: This flow diverter is not suitable for use with the Milano Windsor range of traditional column radiators, MIlano Skye and Aruba Ayre or with radiators that have an internal pipe size larger than 36mm. This means that if we install the radiator, then hot water will be entering on the side which is farthest from the baffle as shown below. There’s just as much drag and efficiency to be found in optimizing the exhaust duct of a cooler as there is optimizing the inlet,” Ahlstrom said.I found the right one at Screwfix– an Ximax Fortuna Duplex Designer Radiator with a heat output of 4378BTU (1284W). Working first with poster board to determine shape and fit, and then as a pattern for the new aluminum panels, Smith redesigned the intake and added a “chimney” that would mate to a new hood he purchased from Black Dog Racing, which it had left over from its days racing a C5 in World Challenge.

Pull back your carpet beneath the radiator you’re working with and carefully lift the floorboards to uncover the pipework.

He has since shared the patterns with a couple of other C5 drivers who were having similar cooling issues. Now coming back to the new vertical radiator, the baffle is closer to the right hand end of the horizontal pipe. Generally the idea is that the flow goes in on one side and a baffle/plug blocks any further direct flow into the rad so that all the flow goes up that first tube.They let me do this because I explained my concerns about its weight and agreed to try fixing it by their method.
