Radiator internal baffle for narrow tall column rads?

Ah, that's good the first picture I've seen. So it's just a spring to turbulate the flow.

I'll investigate further if they don't work as well as I expect.

Thanks

justin, if you look closely at the spring in the picture it looks like there is cap on the end of it, i suppose to seal the bottom channel and divert the hot water upwards.

Hi Justin
the pic may be a bit deceiving, at the end of the spring there is a stainless steel cup in order to block the flow to the next element horizontally, so the water has to go up to the top. When you fit them, the larger side of the spring is located to the radiator socket and will push the cup (diaphragm) against the second element.

Update to anyone elsw who might look at this.

Rads appear to be performing just FINE, connected BOE with no baffle. Narrowest one is 180mm wide 4 column (x2) and 1800 tall.
