Picture Perfect Radiator – Valor Hydroflame

Hydroflame™ is radical new option for heating domestic living spaces: an innovative radiator with the appearance of a real fire.

The vast majority of modern homes have a central heating system which uses panel radiators, but although these provide efficient heat emission, most fail to satisfy the homeowner’s desire for a feature point in main living rooms.

The Hydroflame can do both; with a standard electric inset fire and a fan convector combined; it incorporates Valor Dimension cutting edge technology to create the world’s most authentic ‘real fire effect’. Like a radiator, Hydroflame works off the wet central heating system, while its flame effect can be run independently to give its comforting glow year round. It can also be used to provide localised electric heat in unseasonable cold spells.



How it works
Hot water from the central heating system flows through the Hydroflame’s heat exchanger, which transfers heat to aluminium fins. Cooler air is drawn in at floor level, passes over the heat exchanger and then is expelled gently back into the room, providing a more even room temperature, while heating the room in less time than a traditional radiator. Hydroflame products use only 5% of the water content of an equivalent output radiator, saving energy – in fact, independent tests* have shown that fan convectors consume 25% less energy than radiators. Hydroflame requires a connection to a wet central heating system and an electrical connection to run the flame effect and the fan convector, but no direct gas supply, making it one of the most versatile room heating options on the market.
