The presence of a ceiling extract valve directly above a 1000 W radiator, which extracts air at a rate of 35 m3/h, poses a significant risk to the radiator's efficiency. The hot air generated by the radiator will be drawn directly into the extract valve, preventing proper circulation throughout the room. This configuration can lead to inadequate heating and discomfort in the living space, particularly if the room size and makeup air source are not properly accounted for.

Yes.TSN79 said:An apartment has a radiator, about 1000 W. Nearly right above it is an extract valve for the ventilation system which extracts 35 m3/h. The vertical distance between the two is around two meters. Is there a risk that this will prevent the radiator from functioning properly as the hot air will just go straight into the extract valve instead of finding its way around the room?
