ABSTRACT
The article is aimed at the theoretical and experimental evaluation of the thermal efficiency of aluminum ribbing of convector-type heating devices to improve indoor thermal comfort. The purpose of the manuscript is to increase the thermal efficiency of convector heaters with aluminum ribbing based on numerical modeling and obtaining analytical equations for determining the thermal parameters of convectors with aluminum ribbing, which is aimed at maintaining the proper microclimate in the room while ensuring energy savings. A chart of the dependence of the heat amount on the heat carrying medium flow rate, its initial and final temperature, was constructed. It was determined that the amount of heat increases if the flow rate of the heat carrying medium increases, its inlet temperature is increased and the outlet temperature is decreased.
