Difference between panel radiators and baseboard heaters:

Unlike standard baseboards (copper pipe with aluminum fins), which rely almost exclusively on hot air convection, panel radiators are designed to utilize another additional method of heat transfer - radiant heat, which is more energy efficient and creates a noticeably more comfortable environment with better heat distribution.

In baseboard radiators, the heating element located inside and is separated from the room with a cover and an air gap, which reduces radiant heating effect to a minimum. In panel-style radiators, the front panel (1 out of 2, through which hot water circulates) is exposed to the room, radiating heat in the same manner a radiant floor heating system does and naturally heating not only the air, but all the objects and persons in the room. At the same time, front and back panels are separated with a convector channel, through and around which natural convection occurs and air in the room is also heated. As a result, heating efficiency in panel radiators is nearly twice higher than in baseboard heaters under similar conditions.
