I’ve recently moved into a house with hot water radiators and I love them. No hazard as long as there’s nothing overly sensitive to heat (eg electrical wires) up against them
The are very cool indeed (no pun intended). And no AC in the world will ever be this quiet. It’s the de facto standard in Hungary, it’s hard to find any other setup.
And additional fun fact: there are quite a few apartment buildings and whole neighborhoods here that are heated by a big-ass, central authority/boiler. I mean we don’t have our own boilers in the flats, but we receive the heated water through kilometer-long pipes. It’s very cheap and efficient. There are some things the socialists did well back then.
My university was like this all the buildings were heated (and cooled I believe) via water pipes that ran under campus. There was a giant, dedicated chiller building just off-campus, and presumably a similar building with a giant boiler.
Saw something similar in CERN. I was in the cellars or how can I say it in English, there were giant tubes in endless corridors and was a million degrees there.
I saw an article a couple of years ago that Austria wants to revisit this thing for heating and cooling office buildings because it so much more efficient than individually do this in every building.
Anyway, thanks for the insights and the convo, my friend.
