This article examines the connection schemes of radiators widely used in building heating systems and their influence on thermal efficiency. The side, diagonal, and bottom connection schemes of radiators are analyzed, and their heat transfer efficiency as well as their impact on heat distribution within buildings are compared. The results of the study show that the radiator connection method has a significant effect on heat distribution. It was determined that the diagonal connection scheme is one of the most efficient methods in terms of heat transfer performance. The findings also indicate that selecting an appropriate radiator connection scheme is important in the design of building heating systems.
